The rebooted comedy debuted its nine-episode run midseason and finished as the TV season's No. 1 scripted series on all of broadcast. Roseanne had been averaging a 5.5 rating among adults 18-49 and 19.3 million viewers with live-plus-3 lifts. With a full week of time-shifting, those numbers climbed to a 6.4 rating in the key demo and 22.1 million viewers. Either way, Roseanne was the highest-rated and most watched series of the broadcast season, eclipsing NBC's This Is Us and CBS' Big Bang Theory — which had been in a heated battle for top status.

Tell the media not to come into the kitchen (where the money is coined) if they can't stand the heat. I guess making money through broadcasting to an audience hungering for truth and ressupersized onating with it, especially when comedically presented, however uncomfortable, isn't coincident with ABC's interests.

Roseann need not apologize to Valerie. The comparison was obviously justly deserved.

Picture a cartoon with Valerie the Persian as an organ-grinder with a monkey and its begging cup. Everybody dance, now!

No cancellation of “The View” after Behar’s bigoted anti-christian remarks.

Now you know where ABC’s bigotry stands.

ABC = Anybody But Christian

Roseanne Barr is under fire after joking that former White House adviser Valerie Jarrett is the love child of the Muslim Brotherhood and “Planet of the Apes”

muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj

— Roseanne Barr (@therealroseanne) May 29, 2018

***********************

Whats racist about it. The reaction is simply what patriots of the United States want, because ridicule is EXACTLY how to combat liberal fascism and its culture. Its very effective among the masses who unwittingly support liberal fascism.Winston Churchill ridiculed Adolf Hitler, a German
nationalist socialist , just like Obama was , except that Obama is a racial/ethnic nationalist socialist, a liberal fascist.

So its no surprise that what Roseanne did illicit-ed a sharp response from ABC. IT WORKS. We need thousands of Roseannes, doing exactly the same thing in the media, revealing ABC as propagandists of the first water.

If one goes against ABC propaganda, by making fun of an Obama sacred cow, UR gone!

How do you think PDJT won his election in 2016? He slaughtered every sacred cow that the left sent at him.Roseanne is simply trying it on, and a good job at that.

We need many more people doing the same.

Valerie Jarrett indeed does look like a biological product of Planet of the Apes.Jarrett could answer their next casting call. Nothing racist about that.

Hear the Obama left’s sacred cows of the left moo-ing fearfully in the background?

Roseanne was right on target. She could easily work with Cory Lewindowski.

The allusion to the Muslim brotherhood was essentially correct, right on from everything we can determine. ABC is off our patronage list completely now

The tweet was not racist. ABC was looking for an excuse to cancel the show. For ABC, promoting left-wing politics is more important than having a top rated show.

This is ABC sending the message: Don't you dare to support Trump. And don't you dare to say anything negative about Obama, not even about people such as VJ even though she is not a household name.

Remember when the Democrats posted / circulated a special Olympics poster with Bush’s head photo shopped on to a special needs kid? And made some retarded type reference about him.

Nobody had a problem with that & no apology (worthless as it would have been) was forthcoming.

Yet another thread on ABC's canceling “Roseanne” like the earth has shaken by an earthquake! How silly we are to 'follow' the Networks leading the masses to focus on such nonsense. "Drink deeply!"

Rush was saying a commentator on CNN has called Trump out for trafficking in underaged children. The commentator was NOT making a joke, but was serious.

Hey ABC....

..nose....face!

Oh, and comparing vj to planet of the apes could NOT have had anything to do with the totalitarian leanings of the socialist/mb sympathizer and policy force majeur in the zippy administration?

Fools on both sides...the pearl clutchers on the interwebs and the incontinence at ABC

Cheers!

Valjar reminds me of the Star Trek character Gorgon (sp). Kirk had to kill the thing to survive.

No Tiberius didn’t finish the lizard off.

The tweet in question : "Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj"

Is the muslim brotherhood a race? Is islam is a race? Liberals truly are that stupid. So Roseanne believes Jarret is a totalitarian theocratist. Where does the racist outrage originate?

LOL, the media and the network were going to find some way and some how to cancel a show that was popular with conservatives.

If only they showed such consistent moral judgement with ALL their “entertainment”.

Oh wait, 75% of what they actually make is offensive, except to libertine liberals.

Every “comedian” over the past 2 years has made a life of calling Trump an Orangutan. I guess that doesn’t count as racist though...I wonder why not

To bring up the Muslim Brotherhood is one thing, but Planet of the Apes? That *was* wrong, and was harmful in all respects.

She tweets some good things, but overall she seems secular humanist/Hollywood in some ways and if not now, then she was going to have a Kathy Griffin moment at some point.

How many celebrities had their shows cancelled because they called Trump a white supremacist/a Nazi/KKK, solely because he is white and Republican?

That was sort of ridiculous. Valerie Jarrett is a lizard alien. No primate DNA at all!
