"It looks like someone took a big eraser..."

images


The Roseanne show was the modern day Hamsterdam. ABC had enough with the social experiment and just erased it off the map.

Side note, this thread is technically in OT2 (actually maybe not, I can't remember the post count) pages now. Have we ever had that for a news story in one day?

Holy shit.

And I go on Facebook and what do I see? Shared Posts from 'Conservative Women' with a big picture saying WE STAND WITH ROSEANNE.
Two "friends" have already shared it.

After this news came out one of my relatives said that Roseanne has been a liberal all this time and her being a Trump supporter was just a cover and that with the return of this show and Rosanne's tweet it was all a plot to smear conservatives and paint them as racists.

Guys I just can't even sometimes...

Sorry for the OT post here. But i have to say im surprised Boogies channel is still going and more people haven't called him on his shit. I thought after the Gaf fiasco it would've started a downward spiral.

Youtube people either agree with him or don't care enough. Seriously, you're not going to see more than a one-off take from any content creator worth their salt about Boogie.

Which cast members have commented?

Sara Gilbert commented pre-cancellation. Michael Fishman did afterwards.

Darlene's daughter said she was in the process of quitting when she heard the news (though I had my doubts she would have been back long before this).

I dunno, but that plotline sure gave off the feeling that the show thinks Muslims aren't good for anything but as a resource for people like Roseanne to take advantage of. I mean, they could have written it so that the neighbor actually interacted with Roseanne and Roseanne saw how warm and friendly they were and how her irrational fear of Muslims was wrong, but nah let's just do the wifi thing.

Half of the episode was them interacting. They couldn't pay their internet bill and didn't find out it was cut off until like 2AM when Mary was supposed to Skype her deployed mother. Roseanne and Jackie went over and asked the family for help. The family pitied them and did help. The next day the wife didn't have enough on her EBT card, so Roseanne covered her grocery bill and berated the grocery clerk for racist remarks. The husband paid Roseanne back in cash at 2AM that night.

Yeah, I shared a link on here to show Era what my feed is full of. I just deleted the app and staying away for a week or more. I'm done with humans for the day and going to sleep.

Fool. I took a shot at the content. What you got to do with it? Did you work on it? Fall back.

Nowhere to fall back to. I made a comment about possibly having to make a dvd purchase to watch the original run and you came by with a shot for no reason. You didn't have to do that. Why did you?

No? Pieces of shit are capable of saying decent things for the sake of good PR.

That's the way I rationalize vile people occasionally having moments of clarity. It's also a way to maintain legitimacy for their own shitty views. These people just want to have the look of being fair and rational so they can justify the moments when they themselves are not. Fuck all of them.

I'm gonna have to buy the dvds/blu rays if I want to watch the original run, aren't I?


You bitched about buying shit that has been around for decades. No one is going to save that kind of obnoxious.

Oh really wow. I just commented and confronted those friends about it and they're spewing "first amendment rights!1" "she can say what she wants" .And of course those friends of mine who shared it don't support Kolin Kaepernicks kneeling during the national anthem.
How fucking hypocritical can conservatives be?

I was wondering why this thread is 25/26 pages, and so I jump to the last page and see Boogie opened up his fucking mouth and Ethan....I'll make my way back to the second page and work my way up.


Good on ABC for shutting that shit down. Restart the show with Goodman!
What? Are you sure it's not just the same tired old meet in the middle meme? He actually said something more stupid? I'm not going to bother myself with finding out what that moron said now.

Ask them how they feel about roseanne "singing" one of the worst anthems ever, then grabin her crotch at the end and spitting a loogie. Very respectfully I might add.

You know, not a snowballs chance in hell they would do this, but they COULD just shorten it to Rosie, and just cast Rosie O'Donnell as the main character instead...

The one and only thing I don't like about this is that Roseanne put her cast members as well as the staff out of the job for her dumbassery

It sucks that the cast & crew are now out of work. Yes, it may only be temporary, but there's no guarantee they'll work on something as high profile right away.
It also sucks that we lost a popular show that was relatively progressive. In that sense, it's the general public that loses out as well.

While it was ultimately ABC that cancelled 'Roseanne', I wonder how much Sara Gilbert and CBS played a role. Sara was the show's executive producer and played the show's, IMO, second most important character. However, she's also a co-host on CBS's The Talk.

CBS isn't going to allow Roseanne's nonsense to affect their show. Sara knows this & would probably leave the sitcom before abandoning her talk show. Without Sara, however, ABC would almost have no choice but to cancel 'Roseanne'. It just wouldn't be worth it to try fix things if she left.

Not that I'm going to run off and watch it but I'm not sure about Hulu pulling Roseanne off their service. Can't they just leave it up to the viewers if we want to watch it or not. I get why the pulled it so quick, but I'm not sure I agree with it. Eh, it's not that big of a deal but it was just a thought.

Yea. I mentioned it because the show is being pulled from syndication. I could easily catch re-runs. I don't know how long thats going to go on for now. I don't see what the big deal is here.

This seems very plausible.

Has anybody ever seen Obama and Roseanne in the same room together? Just asking questions over here

Cost benefit?

Companies don't ever cancel shows netting 22.1 million viewers. It was the highest-rated and most-watched series across all networks. Disney stands to lose millions. This never happens. Should I list all the ways companies have historically looked the other way?


What is the calculus in all of this? You rarely ever see this type of blowback in light of a controversial figure. Is it something we're not privy to behind the scenes?

It will cost you a pretty penny but you can buy them on Amazon digital for $20 a season. Maybe they'll do a fire sale down the road especially if they pull the free prime episodes.

Can people stop acting like Tuna Lipton saying "Rosanne's multiple tweet's calling black women apes were just mistakes and I don't know why the right would defend overt racism tee tee" is right or making any kind of genuine point?

Um not condoning her thoughts or views. But I thought being Muslim was a religion. Kinda like saying Christians are not a race. Either way I liked the show for nostalgic purposes. I feel bad for the other cast mates like others are saying. I just think this world is way to sensitive. Who cares what other people think.

it is. but it also has a pretty specific meaning in today's lexicon as pertaining to any person from the middle east with a dark complexion
