Roseanne is getting a ret-Con
-
-
more like 11 working class sitcoms with clear liberal characters meant to weaken the united states and lead to a grand socialist world government where the Caucasian race is eradicated
! I'm obviously joking
-
Ugh.
The usual subjects are coming out of the woodwork all over social media.
The triggered conservatives crying persecution because the only show openly praising their god-king got cancelled.
uuuuuuuggghh

Believe it or not their target for "eye for an eye" is bill maher for comparing trump to an orangutan

@Long:

I mean that is an appalling statement. Orangutans are beautiful
-
I don't think anyone actually cares about Bill Maher anyway. :P They can have him. But a bunch of people who never watch the show complaining about it won't get it canceled.
-
They had to rename it to "other great political sitcoms" take into account that the minority shows they included (Fresh Off The Boat and Black-Ish) were actually quite upper-middle class.
Also how and why are they trying to squeeze Big Mouth in there o_0
-
Damn, forgot the middle ended.
-
I say let them have Bill. I'm fine with that lol. He was also getting to casual thinking he could use the N word. Let's give the frothy conservatives a win lol.
Fresh off the Boat was more middle class I think. This is set in the early and mid 90s. Jessica also always made a point of being ultra frugal and hunted for deals. She'd be a champion couponer.
The article stated that Blackish is more upper class l but Dre didn't start off that way. And with his parents around they tackle more of the minority upward mobility aspect. Kinda Jefferson-ish.

Roseanne is now going after the cast of the show.

The Talk today is going to be interesting, mostly for what Sara is going to say about the situation.

He's also fairly Transphobic.
For example, when he had Milo Yanapapapotimus on his show and the guy starting spouting Transphobic Rhertoric, Bill was like "That's reasonable".

This is hilarious. Watching her meltdown and make her situation worse and burn every bridge is great.
-
More interesting stuff coming out from the situation.

lol…I think it's safe to say that something like Ambien, much like alcohol, may remove the inhibitions that a person is just barely keeping at bay. They don't make you do anything out of character, but you might feel more inclined to show that side of your personality against better judgement.

It's basically just truth serum that occassionally causes you to buy thousands of dollars worth of candles online.

Candles aren't too bad, it could be much worse. -
Candles aren't too bad, it could be much worse.True. Candles are at least useful lol.
this actually happened to someone I know
-
Well things getting interesting again.

I would be 100% okay with all the good talent moving onto a new show without Roseanne's albatross around their necks or the baggage of the old show that basically equated to the entire family still being miserable.
Though while I'm sure the cast would be up for it, I don't know if audiences could take a whole cloth moving of those actors into a similar setup. (And given their respective ages, if they're family, it's pretty much what you have to do.)
The chemistry of Laurie Metcalf married to John Goodman could be really weird and interesting though. And they could drop the youngest kids that the show had no idea what to do with.
-
Same here as well. I wouldn't mind if they do a show with Laurie Metcalf and John Goodman, since both they have great chemistry together.
-
John Goodman comments about the situation.
-
Keep Metcalf as the daughter and have Goodman as a recently widower whose wife dropped dead of a heart attack sometime before the show began.

The other actors, especially Laurie Metcalf and John Goodman not being on TV anymore makes me sad.
I never ended up watching any of this new season but I part of me still kinda wants to for them alone.
-
Roseanne cancels her appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast.
-
Should be mentioned some people are using the show's cancellation to pitch the ideas of bringing back Agent Carter and Pushing Daisies…..like that'll happen.
-
Serious talks are happening about reviving the show around Darlene as the main character.
I would be pretty ok with this actually.

I'm fine with this as well.
-
I'm fine with that. The issue is Roseanne created stuff, so if they carry on with those characters I assume she gets credit and payment regardless.
-
Never a fan of the show. However I have always liked John Goodman. Hopefully they do something for him.

I mean… Roseanne Barr is a terrible crazy bitch, but the fans shouldn't suffer just so she can be deprived of a few extra bucks.
I think her being fired and never directly associated with the property again is enough.
-
I finally tried to watch this show. I was expecting something greater than Seinfeld, but all I got was the main-character insulting her children
-
On today's episode of The Talk, Sara Gilbert give her reaction to the cancellation.
-
Looks like ABC still considering to rebrand the show.

-
Another update on the spinoff situation.
-
The Roseanne spin off is happening. And the series is going to be call "The Conners".
-
So its not a reboot or a new show with the same cast…. How are they going to write Roseanne out I wonder. Heart attack while under knee surgery? If they kill her they'll have to deal with that fallout for basically the entire show. They can't even do the ol "off visiting her mother" bit like they did with John Goodman in the last season of the old show.
Also, while I'm totally down with having the good portion of the cast left behind without the awful woman in the middle that makes everything shitty.... (basically the show I woulda wanted in the first place) I also can't see the show lasting with such a huge dynamic shift. Darlene may be the best character but I don't think she can carry the show. I expect good ratings on the first episode as people turn in to be curious, followed by a sharp drop off.
It'll probably just be the one season, since thats the only one the network is obligated to pay for.
-
Kill her off, do a 1 year time skip or 6 months with the grief period skipped. Paid no attention to Roseanne and now off to new stories.
That's what they did in the Kevin can wait sitcom, wife actress left show, they killed her off in between seasons and did a time skip.
-
Are they gonna pull a Charlie Sheen here?

I wouldn't mind a piano dropping on her. xD

Put in a cg Roseanne. Or a Roseanne puppeteer.
-
Information about first episode of The Conners is starting to come out. The series premiere is on October 16th.
-
Here's Sara Gilbert and John Goodman's interview from GMA this morning, before tonight's premiere episode of The Conners.
-
Great way to start the series.
! John Goodman's performace in this episode was amazing. I tear up a bit when Jackie begin to cry as she was at the point being exhausted from trying to clean up the house.
From the preview for next week episode, Looks like David is back again.
-
Looks like The Conners might be getting a 2nd season.

-
That's good. The show has been far better without Roseanne's anchor dragging it down.
The numbers dropped a lot obviously, they were always going to, but they're still pulling in enough of an audience to make it worthwhile?
Even if it's just one more season I'd like to see it get renewed on it's own strengths, rather than just be the "they were already contracted to do it before Roseanne was fired" season and have folks be able to point to her leaving as being the reason it failed.
-
Really good episode tonight.
! A least, we now know what happen to the Lunchbox. The episode have some great character development for Jackie. And man, I feel real bad for Becky and her current situation.
-
Oh boy…. Roseanne is at it again. She is now blaming Sara for everything that happened.
