The new show was worse than the old show.

The poslitics were so forced it was unbearable.

I looked it up...she was suspended for tweeting that people who disagreed with Jerry Jones' comments about benching players that knelt could boycott Cowboys' advertisers.

frick. I hated the old Roseanne show.


Then you wouldn't like the new one. Has the same look, feel, and vibe as the old one. I've enjoyed it. We knew that ride wouldn't last forever.

It's on network TV...I think the rule is you have to be 65+ to watch those shows.

That Trump was a white supremacist. She is full on SJW.

Look.

I think it was funny that it pissed liberals off that her show did well and her character was pro-Trump.

But, that didn't suddenly make me like her.

And, she's damned sure not worth going to the mat for.

Is ABC being hypocritical? Yeah. Almost certainly. I suspect their bar is MUCH higher for liberals to get fired.

But, I mean, really...........let's face it. You know when you compare a half black person's looks to an Ape...........you're pretty much gonna get it.

Do I think it was willfully racist? Nah. But, it ain't gonna get me off my sofa to defend either.

ABC is doing exactly what I say the NFL should do.

Did it have terrible ratings
It had spectacular ratings for this age of TV fragmentation. It had the highest ratings of any show for the season. "headed to terrible ratings" is just speculation.

And Roseanne’s show was headed to terrible ratings.

This just gave them a reason to cancel earlier.


Didn't ABC just sign her to a second season? I doubt they'd do that if ratings were headed south.

Roseanne has a penchant for using that word when it comes to people of color. Maybe it's not intentionally racist, but at the very least it is extremely ignorant given the racial connotations of the word when used in that context.

Extremely inappropriate, but I don’t think that’s near as bad as what Roseanne said.
