“Can’t wait to see the ratings for this”

10 episodes, sounds more like ABC is doing the right thing and giving a severance package. The only question is how many episodes will actually air.

If Roseanne Barr retains the rights of Rosanne Conner... won’t she become “we don’t say her name”?

It will bomb because liberals don’t understand the audience.

People didn’t watch a Roseanne reboot because of nostalgia. They watched it for the conservative working class ethos.

It is like liberals saying “Let’s run Oprah”, thinking people want a celebrity instead of an advocate for the working class and traditional American values.

Melissa Gilbert must have some serious horsepower with ABC because as an actress she isn’t all that. Good, but not great. She has a production credit for “Rosanne” and she’s a regular on that estrogen-fueled talk krewe. So who is persuaded that the Roseanne-less “Rosanne is going to do anything but fail?

MELISSA Gilbert has (never has had) NOTHING to do with the show Roseanne.

Post FAIL.

Google: Valerie’s Family.

That didn’t end well, either.

She was integral as I understand it on getting the reboot together, but yes.. I just think this will be a floundering flop... shame was nice seeing something that wasn’t 100% pc sjw propaganda

It is unclear how exactly Barr’s character will be written off but ABC describes it as “a sudden turn of events.” ...


They’ll likely have her OD...since she was last (last episode) addicted to pain meds.

~~~~~~~

Added cast members John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, Lecy Goranson and Michael Fishman said in a joint statement, “We have received a tremendous amount of support from fans of our show, and it’s clear that these characters not only have a place in our hearts, but in the hearts and homes of our audience. We all came back last season because we wanted to tell stories about the challenges facing a working-class family today. We are so happy to have the opportunity to return with the cast and crew to continue to share those stories through love and laughter.”


Nope. Folks only wanted to see/hear Roseanne give the progs/lefties her piece of mind and Trump support.

Show will fail.

May be promoted, for a term, by FakeNewsReviews....but, it will fail without Roseanne.

It’s just pay for the others.

Imagine “All in the Family” with no Archie.

This is going to be hilarious! Not the show, the massive loss of money by ABC!

I will laugh and laugh about that!

It will suck! It’s going to be like doing the Seinfeld show without Jerry.

Actually, I think the Seinfeld show without Jerry would probably be just fine. I very rarely thought anything he did ever contributed much to any of the episodes. The funny people were Kramer, George and Elaine.

Jerry was just annoying most of the time.

But she said she was sorry!

I thought celebs get a reprieve if they say they’re sorry?

Unless you support Trump I guess.

One season? I shall be surprised if it goes further than three episodes.
