Roseanne got what she deserved.
Agree? Disagree?
And Why??
She's been saying silly, offensive things for years.
There are more talented people out there who need a break in show business. I have no sympathy for her and 'Roseanne' was never that funny.
That show should had never been brought back in the first place. What was abc thinking? A new, old, improved, matured mad cow in the racist downlow? About all people losing their livelyhood, they will find another gig. And that is what happens when you associate with racist.... for the money or because you too are a racist that enjoyed the opportunity of a racist enterprise. RACISM IS NOT A SIDE EFFECT.
Yes and no. I think rather than canceling the show they should use this in the show and have her tv family deal with it instead of everyone getting punished with her. Also, I would like to know why we are suddenly holding celebrities accountable for their hate speech but letting the president say some extremely hateful things. Why is Roseanne being held accountable to the cost of her career but not Trump? I truly do not see why the leader gets to slide on non-stop hate speech that emboldens people like Roseanne. Trump made this acceptable and that needs to be addressed first.
You are not that "creatively you" if you wanted to keep the show but is your opinion on record.
@mudhen He should never have been our leader.
@GipsyOfNewSpain Ummm I have no idea what your comment is supposed to mean or why you brought my profile name into it.
@CreativelyMe Okay.... you, You wanted the show to continue expecting to be use as a forum of idiocy and racism, why? I don't know and not trying to find out either. I don't want trump to pay for what she do. I want trump to pay for what he do. I want her to pay for what she do. And fuck her fake tv family. Good Riddance.
@GipsyOfNewSpain So you assume I want the show to continue for racist reasons? Or Trump should be punished INSTEAD of her. Not even close. I simply do not think the other cast members should have to lose their jobs because of her so why not use her racist comments to make a point on the show instead of cancelling it? And Trump needs to be held accountable for his hate speech because he IS a huge part of people like Roseann thinking it is okay to speak that way. You are totally off base about why I think the show should not be cancelled but you figured you knew what I meant enough to attack me? That is messed up.
@CreativelyMe About the rest of the cast and other workers... You lay with dogs expect fleas.
I have somewhat mixed feelings about it. It seems like we've become a mob justice society with "justice" executed by corporations that are more doing things because of fear of consumers and that is a slippery slope. Americans need to talk to each other more and empathize with each other more... so this is another step in the wrong direction. Political correctness and the rebellion against it is what got us Donald Trump in the first place.
Totally. Letting people go about being racist pieces of garbage and paying them enourmous sums of money to do so is the 'Murican way! You'll pry this remote from my cold dead hands!
I stopped watching the original series after they stopped showing that huge can of corn in the pantry. Is there toast? I haven't heard what Valerie Jaret (sp?) did to Roseanne to deserve her ite; can anyone fill me in?
Yes. She was/is an adviser/friend to the previous president. She was on MSNBC's special town hall on the underlying racism in this country. These are horrible infractions worthy of Roseannes wrath, don't you think? =0}
@Countrywoman Well, I guess Valerie has to keep working, then...

Roseanne really was never all that bright. I feel sorry for the rest of the cast though.
I think when her first show started she was more liberal, but when she became famous she went conservative. Her politics reflects her primary concern of self interest, which explains her support of Trump to some extent. However, if you hang around conservatives, racial slurs become normalized, and lettign herself fall into that mindset was her own fault. She forgot the hard times of her earlier life, before fame, and let herself lose her empathy for those who have difficult lives.
If she were smart, I'd say she got what she deserved, but i don't think she is all that bright, but I'd also say the person she has become is not a good person either.
That's a very good comment...
Yes she opened her mouth and put her foot in it. Ambien as excuse? Please spare me. I actually was watching the new season because of some of the controversial subject matterefending muslim neighbors, possibillity of transgendered grandson, pro-marijuana, anti prescription drugs, single birth surrogacy, etc. She blew it.
