I remember a Roseanne who wasn't deplorable. yallerdawg Mar 2018 #30

I remember her, too. GoCubsGo Mar 2018 #106

ABC's Normalizing the Alt-right is going to get push back. -nt poboy2 Mar 2018 #72

That is a seriously fucked-up attempt at humor. VOX Mar 2018 #126

Did you know she believes Pizza-Gate and the Seth Rich hoax too? RhodeIslandOne Mar 2018 #118

I assume you entered that post above with a computer... Tikki Mar 2018 #100

I don't like watching TV on my laptop. GoCubsGo Mar 2018 #101

Then enjoy your shows :) Tikki Mar 2018 #103

The comparisons between her and Archie Bunker are flawed because... DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2018 #16

Also, the point of All in the Family was to show how ridiculous and backward Archie's views were EffieBlack Mar 2018 #42

Well, and liberals was well zipplewrath Mar 2018 #61

Exactly! lunatica Mar 2018 #132

Also Carol O'Connor was actually talented. BannonsLiver Mar 2018 #82

I see white people. ismnotwasm Mar 2018 #7

LOL. -nt Freelancer Mar 2018 #28

It's not a white homogenous family or show. yallerdawg Mar 2018 #31

Neither were plantation owners' families EffieBlack Mar 2018 #45

The character DJ's wife is deployed... yallerdawg Mar 2018 #48

You don't find it strange that they injected "color" into the show by casting a cute black child but EffieBlack Mar 2018 #60

There are a number of appearances and characters coming up in future episodes. yallerdawg Mar 2018 #64

You think that having a black child on the show isn't "tokenism" but having a black adult on is? EffieBlack Mar 2018 #67

Late '80's, 90's? yallerdawg Mar 2018 #18

I don't get what you're saying. What are you saying? WhiskeyGrinder Mar 2018 #19

I think yallerdawg is pointing out that the writer of the article is talking about Demit Mar 2018 #90

Roseanne used to be progressive MountCleaners Mar 2018 #111

"Incredibly honest about life in Trump's America" What a load of shit GusBob Mar 2018 #22

I agree----except I would have said "bullshit" instead of "garbage". nt Atticus Mar 2018 #107

Yay, more Trumpanzees on TV dalton99a Mar 2018 #11

lol fail. stonecutter357 Mar 2018 #15

My 85-year-old mother is a Trump supporter. yallerdawg Mar 2018 #21

Unless it's billed as a sit-com. Which it is. So it is. LanternWaste Mar 2018 #87

I watched the hour. I laughed my ass off! yallerdawg Mar 2018 #96

No. Its honest! Incredibly honest! Its real life in America! GusBob Mar 2018 #24

What's next ? DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2018 #27

They portrayed her the way they always have, the way she's always been. yallerdawg Mar 2018 #25

Can you explain to me how a TV show, a sit-com is "great social commentary" GusBob Mar 2018 #29

Just like "West Wing." yallerdawg Mar 2018 #34

Let me try a different approach GusBob Mar 2018 #52

You're conflating reality and fiction. yallerdawg Mar 2018 #59

/sigh/ you are dodging the question. Read your OP title GusBob Mar 2018 #62

That's the title of the Vox article. yallerdawg Mar 2018 #68

Huh? GusBob Mar 2018 #70

And yet here we are discussing it. Sit-coms have often been social commentary. nolabear Mar 2018 #38

'Roseanne' delivers big ratings in much-awaited ABC return yallerdawg Mar 2018 #40

Murphy Brown will be interesting as well. Im so sad Robert Pastorelli is gone. nolabear Mar 2018 #44

Maybe they're going with these old shows... yallerdawg Mar 2018 #46

LOL! Hey, I'm glad just to BE a demographic. nolabear Mar 2018 #77

Don't be too sad. At the time of his death, he was the prime John Fante Mar 2018 #83

Really? I had no idea! nolabear Mar 2018 #98

I believe this was up against a bunch or reruns on the other networks rurallib Mar 2018 #84

There are no "reruns" on broadcast network television anymore. yallerdawg Mar 2018 #89

That's fair GusBob Mar 2018 #55

It's filmed in front of a live studio audience. yallerdawg Mar 2018 #80

OK I am sorry I was so critical GusBob Mar 2018 #125

There is social media now... MountCleaners Mar 2018 #112

They certainly did. I'd forgotten about that. -nt poboy2 Mar 2018 #74

Thanks! lunamagica Mar 2018 #134

I'm still not watching this shit, period... mreilly Mar 2018 #39

I love how they stick a black grandchild in there to prove how so not racist Roseanne is EffieBlack Mar 2018 #41

What about the grandson sitting on the left wearing a skirt? yallerdawg Mar 2018 #43

Yup - families who claim to love their brown and gay members EffieBlack Mar 2018 #47

You are not describing the show. yallerdawg Mar 2018 #51

She's describing the show's namesake. DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2018 #53

I'm Not Impressed Either, Effie ProfessorGAC Mar 2018 #54

Google says Roseanne is 65, so frogmarch Mar 2018 #50

What about John Goodman... yallerdawg Mar 2018 #57

For the love of money DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2018 #66

I don't know about the others. frogmarch Mar 2018 #86

Do you have money invested in the show? RhodeIslandOne Mar 2018 #120

I "insist" you watch the show before you condemn the show. yallerdawg Mar 2018 #123

Meh, I'm rather tired of the recent trend of revivials of old shows on TV. Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2018 #88

Think about it. yallerdawg Mar 2018 #92

Millennials are a major group using antenna. NutmegYankee Mar 2018 #121

I've heard good things about that one. B2G Mar 2018 #93

It's absolutely hilarious. Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2018 #95
