I have no intention of watching the new Roseanne show

Let the Deplorables fill her coffers.

[RhodeIslandOne]

1. I feel sorry for everyone else involved

They should have known her deep mental illness would overtake everything on the project.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. I feel bad for John Goodman.

[still_one]

29. Goodman is a great actor, he doesn't need Roseanne, and he will be just fine

[writes3000]

2. That makes two of us. Shes always been a terrible, terribly abusive human being.

[janterry]

4. I used to like the show

when it first started. She really broke ground.

But listening to her talk about politics.........or anything......she's really ignorant.

I don't have a tv anymore, so I won't be adding to her $ either.

[mercuryblues]

5. I was planning on it

but in light of her abusive and degrading rallying cry....fuck her.

[democratisphere]

6. Who wants to watch a whiny, bitchy blowhard.

[RandomAccess]

11. Oh, c'mon

the gender slur is unnecessary. "Bitchy" needs to be retired, eh??

[George II]

20. That word is used to describe anyone without gender connotations.

[RandomAccess]

23. Doesn't matter. Its origin is all about gender AND

you can't USE the word without also eliciting gender big time.

[still_one]

30. So when my wife tells me to stop "bitching" is she being sexist?

[RandomAccess]

31. Yep. Not at all unusual, but sad IMO.

[Different Drummer]

7. I never watched the first; I won't watch the second. n/t

[highplainsdem]

8. I won't watch it, either. Thanks for posting that link!

[Demsrule86]

9. I won't watch her either.

[LyndaG]

10. Agreed

Ya never know with her, tho . For example, she supported W for awhile, and then next thing you know, she was bad-mouthing him. I wonder if her devotion to Trump will last. Disgusting.

[dchill]

12. She reminds me of Trumpsky.

[roamer65]

13. She has a grinding, annoying whiny personality.

Never have liked her.

[Roy Rolling]

14. Same here

Nobody wants to see her washed-up trainwreck of a show. When she is cancelled, she will whine of a left-wing conspiracy against bad, right-wing actors. And then I will say it's no conspiracy, it's just business. Thank goodness for the free market on this, sponsors won't pay for crap programs. I hope they haven't filmed more than six episodes.

As we say in the biz, there will be no "back nine" for this show.

[TexasBushwhacker]

17. It's a limited run series. Only 8 episodes

I doubt "cancellation" would make any sense.

[TeamPooka]

15. I'll pass on Roseanne. It's Roseanne vs. Will & Grace this season.

[keithbvadu2]

16. It was a great show about a family's struggles.

It was a great show about a family's struggles.

Then Dan died and they won the huge lottery.

It sucked after that.

[PatSeg]

18. I've been watching old reruns of the Roseanne show

and I have been surprised at how liberal the show was, occasionally ahead of its time. As a result, I had always assumed that Roseanne herself was more on the liberal side. This is very disappointing. I was looking forward to seeing some of the cast reuniting, especially John Goodman, who played the most realistic working-class dad that I've ever seen on TV.

As a family, the Connors really did resemble blue collar working families outside of Chicago, though often wittier than most that I've known.

[Kirk Lover]

24. Yeah I'm surprised she's not liberal too...well I guess that's what you can call 'fine acting'..

[PatSeg]

25. I just read another article about her

and she did used to be more on the liberal side, but she has been battling mental illness her entire adult life. Some of her beliefs right now are polar opposite of what she believed years ago, before Breitbart and InfoWars.

This article from last summer gives a better overview:

How Roseanne Barr Abandoned All Reason and Embraced the Alt-Right

Everybody loves a ‘90s reboot. In a time of political turmoil and increasingly terrifying news, the only thing more comforting than a classic ‘90s rerun is a series revival. It’s a programming bid that banks on name recognition and nostalgia; the assumption that everyone over the age of 25 has a furtive desire to pop on a slap bracelet and revisit the sitcoms of yesteryears.

In May, ABC confirmed that Roseanne, the beloved TV comedy, would be joining the ranks of ‘90s reboots (alongside fan favorites like Will & Grace, Twin Peaks, and The X-Files). Unlike some of its outdated sitcom peers, the Roseanne Barr and John Goodman-starring revival promises to be rather timely. When Roseanne premiered in 1988, it was heralded for its honest portrayal of a working-class family struggling to make ends meet in the Midwest. Back then, making a sitcom about a less than aspirational family unit was a risk. But in 2017, with executives overtly competing over the Trumpster demographic, a TV show about a “normal American family” (read: white people who may or may not read InfoWars) is a newly hot commodity. According to an ABC announcement about the reboot, “The Conner family will continue to deal with the economic challenges of living pay check to pay check in 2018.”

19. I never watched her old show. She has no talent, is not funny, nor entertaining.

[Hestia]

35. You ought to find her pre-Roseanne stand up routines. She was genuinely hilarious and her comedy was

about working women and using the title Domestic Goddess.

I don't know if it would fly nowadays - everybody is so PC and can't seem to laugh about the absurdity of life anymore. Comedy is supposed to be sanitized for our protection now and it's always about the children.

[marble falls]

21. Its always been about Roseanne and I got tired of it a couple of decades ago. I did enjoy all of ...

rest of the cast, though.

[louis c]

22. I wonder how all of Rosanne's new "deplorable" friends enjoy the rerun of her National Anthem?

[LiberalLovinLug]

26. "Trump is fighting pedophiles and he likes Jews-that infuriates some people."

How can any person deduce from Trump's praising those that chanted "Jews will never replace us!!!" in a Nazi march, as "good people" that he "likes Jews"

Or that he is "fighting pedophiles" by supporting one running for office?


It is sad to watch people I had some respect for reveal their own blind stupidity and bigotry.

[RandySF]

27. I didn't even like the first series.

[MarianJack]

28. Didn't like her then,...

...don't like her now. The fact that she's a Trump worshipper only compounds that, so she can retire to Hell for all I care.

PEACE!

[appleannie1943]

32. Did not watch her show the first time around. Easy to not watch this go around. I just don't like

her. It is as simple as that.

[Gothmog]

33. I will not be watching this show

[Phentex]

34. Does anybody remember what it was up against in the same time slot?

I never watched it because I feel like there was something else on at the same time. I just recently found out that Sandra Bernhard was on it and it sounded like she had an interesting role.

[Hestia]

36. Wasn't it against Designing Women, Evening Shade & Murphy Brown?

All very funny women centered shows but wholly unrealistic, which is why Roseann was a breath of fresh air. It wasn't about people who had all these glamorous jobs and stuff. It was about paying bills, children getting into trouble, you know, real life.

[Raine]

37. I couldn't stand her original show so I sure knew

I wasn't going to watch the redo no matter what, Rosanne was always trashy (deplorable) IMO .
