Sponsors may continue to fund their humorless, anti-American entertainment without real and honest Americans like Roseanne, but we won’t.

“Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!” —Charlton Heston as George Taylor in “The Planet of the Apes” (allegory for the Democrat/Republican leftist government).

Right, why bring that up.

Because it was not the reference to Muslims that did her in.

[Brown Deer]

Using “Planet of the Apes” in reference to a black woman is beyond stupid.

No kidding! Most of the actors were white!

Planet of the Apes (1968)

Charlton Heston, Roddy McDowall, Kim Hunter, Maurice Evans, James Whitmore, James Daly, Linda Harrison, Robert Gunner, Lou Wagner, Woodrow Parfrey, Norman Burton, Paul Lambert...

Hopefully another Network will pick up the show.

Yep. She's the Borg Queen, IMO. The core of the communist hive.

LOL! True! Had she said the same thing about Maxine Waters, she'd still have a show. Not Valerie Jarrett. She's too powerful.

I haven’t watched TV for a very long time. But from what little I gathered while reading about the show, “Roseanne,” the script started with some ostensible praise for the recent positive change in government. Is that correct? And the script was starting to move toward some attempt to denigrate the new, positive change?

If that’s the case, then Roseanne may well have just made a selfless move of real genius for all. She might have just knocked the wheels off of one effort from the left to propagandize women against recent successes for freedom.

Does anyone have any idea what Jarrett did that prompted the Tweet in the first place? I’ve been looking to see if she was quoted in a news story or something like that but nothing. Did Barr really blow up her career and end her show over nothing???

Where does the show go from here?

To Fox...same as "Last Man Standing"

“Libs won publix and Rosanne in 4 days. America is in trouble.”

They’re starting shit like Charlottesville again it seems ...

[Rusty0604]

I’m watching the evening news and the big thing is that Trump refuses to comment on this. That’s what they do, twist it so it’s all on Trump.

[Taipei]

Of course they do, we blamed everything on Obama for eight years, they’re gonna do the same to Trump. It’s just politics.

[DoughtyOne]

I was not aware of him, or his thoughts.

On this topic, you should read my post 101.

Any chance that ‘Rosanne’ could be picked up by FOX? Placed in the Fall schedule next to ‘Last Man Standing’?

I look forward to the cancelation of all shows with actresses who use the phrase White Men in a negative way.

[LeeClementineKenny]

I knew this show wouldn't last no matter how good the ratings were. The left are so radical these days they won't accept any conservative viewpoint to have an audience. Roseanne and Last Man Standing weren't even conservative shows. They just had conservative characters along with liberal characters who were also allowed to express their views. They are only considered conservative because they are the only shows that allowed a conservative viewpoint to be expressed that wasn't written to mock conservatives.

[Architect of Avalon]

If a White person was compared to an ape, would that be treated as more acceptable?

If so, why?

[Architect of Avalon]

It hurts my heart when people turn away cash.

[Ambrosia]

Bill Mayer had a pic of Trump beside an Ape comparing them... His show wasn’t cancelled. In fact, Bill Mayer is trending on Twitter due to that pic.

[Architect of Avalon]

Bill Maher and Joy Behar have compared Trump to an orangutan.
