All of their characters on the show, with the possible exception of John Goodman, are very unlikeable.
... What Roseanne did was wrong but we shouldn’t have rushed to fire her..
Her description is that it was a political comment regarding Jarrett’s bequeathed Iran policy and its’ support of totalitarians.
Such BS....comparing someone’s *behavior* to a character from the movie Planet of the Apes is not “racially charged”.
Bring her back—as flashbacks or as a ghost. Have one of the cast go Trumpocrat to spar with others. A few scenes would save the show.
After mulling it over, I think you're right. Some f-ups are permanent. They could try to erase these past few months, pretend nothing happened, scrap the season and bring Roseanne back but it wouldn't be the same.
There's a lot of anger not only in how Roseanne was treated by ABC but also towards her co-stars, not a single one of whom had the integrity to stand up for her. At any time Goodman or Metcalf could have said, "this isn't going to work" and Roseanne would've been brought back but instead, clueless about their own fan base, they thought they could still have lightning in a bottle without the show's star.
Best thing for Roseanne Barr to do now would be to leave the Connor family in the past and find something new and original as a platform for her talents.
I was disappointed the most in John Goodman for thinking the Roseanne-free "Roseanne" would work. It seemed like if anyone should've put his foot down and stood up for her, it should've been him.
He's enjoyed a long and distinguished career as an actor and will now be remembered for having zero integrity in the end when it counted.
“abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values.”
ABC and values? Since when!
Just saw a commercial, it was very dramatic, pretty clear the characters are reacting to Roseanne being dead/dying/comatose, you’d think the show was a drama. Then the ABC log and the word “Funny” appeared.
Anyone out there watching this thing tonight??????
I am skipping it.
Not me. Not a single minute of it.
