“John Goodman ... will be killed off as well as a character.”

Again. IIRC, that’s how the original series ended — with “Dan” dying.

Roseanne is OK in my book. I think she is something of a loose canon, but her gut instincts are pretty good. Her comments about Jarrett might have been in bad taste, but at their heart those comments were based in truth.

In December of 2013, Roseanne had some even more pithy comments regarding the evil Susan Rice. Click the above link for the original, but it had to do with Susan Rice's "swinging" anatomy. Very funny stuff.

Roseanne is on our side, and she should not be stigmatized because CNN and MSNBC order it. Roseanne was NOT taken down over her comments. That was just the excuse. Roseanne was taken down because her stellar ratings were an anathema to the Establishment narrative.

One thing I have suspected for a long time is that diversity, in curiously excepting the 2%-of-population Jewish minority from being considered “diverse”, is secretly just a stealth version of anti-semitism.

If they can label a Jew a “white” person, they can go to town on discriminating against him.

Yeah I had noticed that the only time they did mention Trump was in the first episode..that was it..the season finale they actually took a dig at President Trump(After there was a flood in Lanford and Trump declared it a disaster area, so Roseanne could use the money to get her knee surgery) Sara’s character Darlene said “Oh he just tweeted Illinois wrong does it still count” so yes they were already starting the Trump bashing..Roseanne knew this, and wanted no part in it..in some weird way she might have wanted off the show

"I think I spent the last 24 hours watching the party of inclusion, diversity, understanding, and acceptance, lynch a Jew."

This is how you do it .. remind them of who they claim to be, then fling their incredible hypocrisy and smack them with the ugly truth of who they really are!

All it was intended to be, by Sara Gilbert’s own design...was a social justice warrior piece. It’s almost laughable but Roseanne is no idiot (same for John Goodman). Gilbert will build some vehicle to carry on the show, and I’ll predict that Fox signs Roseanne Barr to produce a show by October.

I DO consider her one of us. No one is a 100% perfect match with anyone else’s beliefs. Our President welcomes her, and so do I.

Barr is fatally careless with her mouth, literally and/or figuratively, has not learned how to shut it up and consider the consequences, has dug herself a deep, deep hole in an unforgiving medium, and now wants to bootstrap herself out of this, again with her mouth.

This probably ain't gonna work, and will color the rest of her yet-to-be-seen "professional" future.

Interesting thoughts.

Had always heard how intelligent she was, but that was before Big Media decided she was a conservative.

However, what I’ve seen of her tweets seems to put her far below President Trump’s way with words, grammar and punctuation.

Unless she’s a really poor proofreader, but that’s a big negative, too, as conservatives are held to a higher standard of conduct.

Hope she’s up to being a “conservative” now.

Sara already has a running show “The Talk” they have not mentioned this “Controversy” at all, probably by design. I dont watch the show but my Mom does, everyday(UGH, just a bunch of cackling hens b*tching about stuff) I hope Roseanne is back on the show. Would be STUPID to kill her off(Having her die of complications from her knee surgery) you can’t have Roseanne without Roseanne, the show was named after her for God’s sake! Now Three’s Company, for instance, they got rid of Suzanne Somers(Because she wanted more money) so they sent her off to her “sisters” brought in her cousin Cindy, and after a few episodes replaced her with Terri, but John Ritter was the real start, if he had left the show would have been canceled

Hey Roseanne!

Get radical and take back the appology. The communist/mozlum/Iranian is no blacker than you are.

But she does look like a chimpanzee.

Might be a film revival there. It was pretty entertaining. Everyone should see it once. It's more fun to watch in the context of today than it was back then. [It's a hoot!]

Ironically, if Sam B doesn’t end up getting fired, which of course she won’t, it may help Roseanne’s case if she wants to fight.

One thing for sure-—the network can NOT use HER name as the title of the show.

Can’t she just continue the show herself through syndication the way Lawrence Welk did in 1971, when ABC canned his musical program. Might take too much up-front cash to do this, and it might be hard to attract sponsors.

True, plus, I don’t believe that the rest of the cast can carry it.

Additionally, without her, it would be made into a preachy leftwing thing that would be just as insipid as most stuff on TV.

Maybe the sister characters could be in an odd couple shosw but that’s about the only possibility.

Roseanne, however, can write as well as perform.

She could do a version of Highway to Heaven with herself as a rulebreaking angel.
