If you didn't watch Roseanne tonight, you should have

A great show comes back and proves to be just as relevant as ever. I was skeptical as I heard Barr had voted for Trump. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I guess I should not have been that shocked. She illustrates the political issues as they apply to her family in the show and surprise, surprise- everybody wins. It was brilliant, healing comedy. I loved it. I'll be tuning in next week too, even though Roseanne voted for Trump. If you haven't seen it yet, you should.

We need more of this in the world.

Her public nuttery is going to get her in trouble with ABC, is my guess. Promoting the Pizzagate CT and referring to David Hogg as giving a "Nazi salute" may be a blast with Trump supporters, but ABC has to avoid disgusting more viewers than just them.

Did she vote for him in real life or just on the show?

I believe she voted for him in real life but remember, Rosanne is extremely socially liberal.

She ran for president as a member of the Green Party.
 
What network is this show on?

I would agree, but in a recent poll, 35% did not want any healing and preferred to spread and perpetuate the hate....on both sides.
Fortunately, 65% preferred to heal and mend differences.
I hope that was also the intent of those at ABC too.
We need it.

See I have not been paying enough attention to know, in part because I dont watch TV and the wreckage of Hollywood I know all about.........are they attempting to be All In The Family or is this yet more mocking and not giving a **** about people who dont sign up for their UTOPIA?


They could be a big help to America right now, but this is AMERICA @ 2018, that is so so so much to expect from Hollywood right now given its decrepit condition. .

I have not watched the new show but I did see the entire video I posted, Mr. Shapiro nails it (as usual).
 
The lovefest between Barr and Trump should surprise no one. After all, Trump and Barr have much in common when it comes to spewing bigotry and intolerance. What is surprising is the apparent blind eye turned by the people who have brought us this "rebooted" Roseanne -- a decision that ABC may regret.

"If they are not going to be mean to Trump and the people who like Trump, well then, ABC needs to get punished! (paraphrased)".

This is where we are.

AMERICA @ 2018

SAD

Maybe a boycott of ABC is in order? Don't count on it!

The point Sir is that America has gotten very rotten indeed.

A secondary point is that we have no where near enough people who care and who want to be better to get better as a society, things will get very grim indeed.

If I recall the previews I saw, it has a laugh track, right? I can't watch shows that have a stupid laugh track. Examples include Big Bang Theory, they put laughs at the dumbest times that are not funny

I can't watch Big Bang anymore. It's gotten redundant and stale.
 
Now that we know that Trump's name is not gonna be mentioned anymore in that show, who wants to bet that the ratings will go down?

:lol:
