Roseanne Barr hopes to teach tolerance and compassion in the next installment of her ABC sitcom.
On Tuesdays episode of Roseanne, a Muslim family living next door to the Conners elicits such fear in Roseanne that she starts to believe theyre about to build a bomb out of fertilizer piled near their garage.
What if this is a sleeper cell full of terrorists getting ready to blow up our neighborhood? she asks her sister Jackie (Laurie Metcalf). Any time something bad happens, its always somebody who lives next door to somebody.
Ultimately, Roseanne is forced to face her prejudice by approaching the neighbors and asking for their Wi-Fi code to help her granddaughter. What transpires over the episode is lots of ignorance covered up in punchlines, with Roseanne ultimately realizing there is more to the folks next door than a pile of stinky dirt.
And it was all Barrs idea. In this interstitial released by ABC, Dave Caplan, co-executive producer, confirms that it was the stars idea to do a story about Muslim neighbors. He says the writers didnt need much convincing. (ABC would not make the executive producers available for further comment).
She wanted to get a comeuppance for her own bias, Caplan says in the interstitial, adding, that was her idea.
The episode was completed before the comedys March 27 premiere, but it comes at a time when the show could definitely use a buzz boost: The sitcom has lost 43 percent of its audience since its behemoth start; last weeks episode averaged 10.3 million viewers and a 2.5 rating in adults 18-49.
Meanwhile, Barr isnt exactly fostering good will on social media. As a Trump supporter, the actress has come to the Presidents defense with a nonsensical tweet about freeing children from bondage all over the world. And just last week, she sparred with Stormy Daniels. The episode about the Muslim neighbors with all that fertilizer airs Tuesday at 8 p.m. on ABC.
Whatever.

Sounds like a load of steaming fertilizer to me
I thought it sounded funny, just like “All In The Family” and “Sanford and Son” did stuff and said stuff back then, that would not be politically correct today. I’m going to record this show.
She’s just being a politically correct dhimmi, doing her best to make sure that Islam become the majority religion in the US, while catering to Islam’s every need - especially with the elimination of Christianity and Judaism.
Is the neighbor’s wife dressed head to toe in black and only allowed out in the company of her male relatives? Confronting that or no?
I don’t have to be tolerant to Muslims any more than liberals are tolerant to conservatives.
Maybe they are members of Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam.
Of course the neighbors will be the mythical “moderate muslims.”
Tonight is Abby’s final episode on NCIS, so I’m going to watch it. Abby will be missed...
Shes just being a politically correct dhimmi, doing her best to make sure that Islam become the majority religion in the US, while catering to Islams every need - especially with the elimination of Christianity...”
Yes, FR attracts people this stupid.
“Roseanne ultimately realizing there is more to the folks next door than a pile of stinky dirt. “
If the plot has them as resettled refugees that were shipped into the US in the middle of the night...let Rosanne find out how much money each family member gets from Uncle Sam each month.
that didn’t take long.....the pro-trump character that had a lot of people all excited, is now an ignorant, paranoid racist wrongfully assuming the peace-loving muslim neighbors are terrorists simply because they’re muslims. next episode, Roseanne and/or Dan will assume the hispanic cashier/construction worker/truck driver (or whatever)is an illegal.
No one is less tolerant than liberals who preach tolerance...unless maybe Muslims.
I’m sure you can bet that at the time, she will say: see something, say something”. She’s not ignorant.
So, let's turn her into Archie Bunker without a Meathead.
I think that she will turn on President Trump shortly before the 2020 election.

Except the racial targets of those shows didn’t want to blow you up or take your freedom.
Im sure the episode will feature the nice muslimes, like the ones who infiltrated my grannies neighborhood outside Detroit. You know, the ones who would unload prayer rugs from a non descript white van in the middle of the night ...
Those nice neighbors.
