I hear you,but without her it just wouldn't work..have to say I wasn't really happy with the new episodes anyways,just too much lame jokes about being old,and it just had a feel of mailing it in,if you can dig what I mean..her tweet is really disconcerting,I thought she had a lot of older episodes addressing things like racism and in fact,I thought her bent was liberal..too bad when the wheels come off for certain stars,not the first time,probably not going to be the last..

Yes, as I said, her old shows were very political at times, taking stabs at social issues. Absolutely. But, again, not every episode. And not so crammed down our throats like every single minute like this one is. She has everything and the kitchen sink in this new season.

If you are implying that I was okay with her jokes when she was liberal and I'm not now because she is republican, that is wrong. I could have really enjoyed this season if every single episode wasn't working so hard to "teach" us something. The polar opposites and extremes of Jackie and Roseanne could have been hilarious -- but instead, they want to play Aesop with us. Like you said, lame jokes, forced issues, boring characters.

OMG DJ wasn't responding to your post at all,just my observations..I hope you didn't take it wrong because that is not what I meant,at all..I really liked quite a few of the old episodes,not all of them,but this new season seemed forced and not good,we agree on that for sure..it is kind of sad seeing it sink to this..please accept my apology if you took my post as being aimed at you,it sure wasn't..

Oh good.

I wasn't being confrontational with what I said, I just wanted it clear that I think this season had so much potential -- and they just squandered it like you say. No apologies necessary whatsoever, but thank you for being kind enough to offer one.

Oh wow. They run reruns of Roseanne every single night, like 8 episodes of them. They have completely taken them off and Night Court is now playing.

That seriously sucks for me. When there was nothing pressing I wanted to watch, I watched the re-runs. Well, it was on in the background while I multitasked doing something else.

And yes, my son just came in and I told him this and he said, "You own the seasons." Okay, it's not the same when I can just turn the TV on and there it is. Now I would have to get the DVDs and get them out of the package and put them in the player and press play -- work work work. :my_bad:

That is a darn shame,taking off all the old episodes because of something stupid she said today..I like the ones where the kids were little,and they were actually like a middle class family struggling to make it..begs the question,where does it end,should we just censor ourselves into a happy spot where everyone says the same thing and acts the same way,and everything that has gone before should be erased? How many of our own SKs books would be taken away then,as he has used questionable language,of course to amplify the stupidity of racism,but people don't even want to hear the word anymore..

yeh i read her tweet, pretty awufull, something tells me that ABC has like talked to her about this before, but she did something stupid, she hurt alot of people, and some of the cast members still relay on the royalties of the old shows and that has been taken of the air as well. I hope they do like a spin off show with out rosanne. they could say she is in rehab for her addiction to the pain pills. I am annoyed as i was really invested with the whole Darlene and David storyline, and know i have no idea where they are. Plus it puts the guy who played David in a bind, what is he going to do after the big bang theory, plus they where so accurate about darlen and davids kids, it really is a shame she hurt so many people, because she was taking sleeping drugs. how stupid. they could have done a lot of good with this reboot. I know sara who plays darlene is upset and sad, i will have to watch the veiw talk to see what she had to say.

They should at least have a chance to go down swingin'. The rest of the cast is appalled at what she said, and now they will suffer the loss of a job and stability because of her. They should all sue her. hahahaoheaoha!

Bitter? nawwwww.


At least 2 quit. Wanda Sykes and the actor who plays DJ. An actress contacted her agent to find out how to get out of it, and a few tweeted, separating themselves from Rosanne and her tweet.
