    I feel bad for the poor people who had a good job that is now gone. Roseanne can check herself into a mental hospital but the rest of them are getting screwed by her illness.

    Will Fox be brave enough to pick it up?

    agreed, she is an idiot. All this series reboot did for me was destroy a childhood favorite memory. At least most of her costars are pretty famous in their own right by now.

    It was pretty disappointing actually. There was just enough nostalgia to make it last a few seasons though. They tried to tackle the issues of today but the jokes came out lame, white washed and one dimensional. They really missed the mark big time, Roseannes antics was the nail in n the coffin.

    Netflix should pick it up and have Roseanne tweet some crazy shit on the show and make a show about the aftermath. Would be interesting.

    So we should start seeing a bunch of shows staring liberals cancelled for what they say about Trump, murdering babies, etc?

    naw, you can only attack the right. Anything anti Trump is perfectly fine.

    I can't wait for Rosanne's new gig as a panelist on Fox News.

    ABC should have killed the character off in a mass shooting.

    You want to defend the specific tweet that got Roseanne canceled?

    I don't think anyone would. I would point out that she deleted it and apologized relatively quickly, but that doesn't make the tweet itself any less reprehensible. But I also don't think it's unreasonable to suspect that a comparable tweet that was anti-white and anti-male would receive similar response, either from the public or the networks. I understand the network's decision, and probably would even do the same in their position, but more because of the presumed financial impact rather than because "she doesn't represent our values".
