Rumor is that Channing Dungey met with Moochelle (who looks like a Wookie; or is that racist?) in the hours before canning Roseanne.
I should not be surprised if this is true. What Channing Dungey didn't do was take a deep breath and act like someone who was clinically detached, as would any ordinary president of a large corporation.
I think she made an emotional decision, not a financial one.
