ABC has cancelled 'Roseanne'

I don't feel sorry for her. She has been getting away with this stuff for years. I had wondered on which island she lived with all the volcano problems. Noticed too that the episode did not air. Was glad to read Sara's statement.
 
I just read what she is saying now about this situation,'It was late,I was on Ambien and it was Memorial Day" What a bunch of BS
Ambien is a narcotic which helps people with sleep problems.
Her long time agents have dropped her as a client,she's toast
 
I never liked the show, or her, so I'm pretty detached from the whole thing. But this "Ambien" excuse she (or her lawyers) came up with is a doozy; when I read about it this morning, I just yelled out, "What?!"
 
Roseanne obviously forgot that we have entered the realm of "extreme political correctness", in the past decade. Shows like "All in the Family" would Never be allowed today. Comedians like George Carlin would be banned for life.

Here's Valerie Jarrett. Here's Roseanne.
:confused:
What am I missing? And why is Roseanne even talking about Valerie?

I was wondering that, too, especially since Barr's original tweet only referred to her as "VJ". I thought, how does anyone even know which VJ she's talking about? Turns out Roseanne was responding to someone else's derogatory (but not racist) comment about Ms. Jarrett.
 
What is it about the internet, twitter etc that celebrities, athletes and young kids don't understand. It's permanent and instant fodder for all of your enemies,foes, employers etc.

Again how hard is to understand words like 'permanent' and/or 'internet'.

Even among actual people there are sayings like 'there are things better not said or kept to one's self'-which many people do without a problem.

And Ambien, oh puhlease. I always heard drugs tend to lower inhibitions and impulse control. It might even bring thoughts front and center in a convoluted incoherent manner but those thoughts were already there. This is classic Rosanne who celebrity came from being controversial and blunt so the Ambien let her thoughts and opinions come to the forefront.

Not really...maybe in the very beginning but it was quickly understood. We all knew Archie was wrong, that he was a clown, an ignoramus. The things he said were so outrageous, you had to laugh that anyone could be that insensitive or that stupid. IMHO it was the best way to bring to light the wrongness of racism.

Today, everyone wants to fight. the PC police swoop down with lawsuits, or people start throwing punches, or worse. When the laughter stopped, something changed. I can't really explain how.

I may be wrong, but I don’t think Ambien is a narcotic, although it is a controlled substance. Makes no difference, really.

What’s going on with Morgan Freeman? I haven’t heard anything about him, but then again, I don’t follow anyone in Hollywood.

I think we will get along fine without Roseanne. If we got along without Opra, we should do OK without Rosie. At least, I know I will.
 
I'd sometimes watch the original show and we watch a couple of the "reboots" and, to us, they were funny as heck. But, then again, wife and I have a gigantic "sense of humor" that only her brother has. The rest of her family, and all of mine, don't know what a "sense of humor" even is or means.

Actually, I was wondering who was going to get "beat up" first, Trump for what he says or Rosanne for what she says.

In reality, people have to, it's darn near a must, have a "sense of humor" to watch some movies and tv shows. When Rosanne was a judge on Last Comic Standing, we watched that and fell out of our recliners laughing at white, black and Hispanic comedians. We use to watch The Carmichaels Show and thought it was hilarious. We have movies like Grownups, Central Intelligence, Taxi, Weekend At Bernie's, Blended and others.

To us, Roseanne was great, but, unfortunately, her mouth got the best of her.

People are certainly entitled to like/not like whatever celebrity or show they want.

We got along without Ed Sullivan, MASH, Mary Tyler Moore, Bill Cosby, Johnny Carson, Seinfeld, Paula Deen, Matt Lauer, and countless others.

But comparing Roseanne (the show or the person) with Oprah (the show or the person). Seriously? :laugh:
 
Way to go Ambien makers!

This women has made her living off of putting other people down because she thinks it’s funny, when in actuality, she has no class or moral compass whatsoever.

There’s NOTHING funny about racism at all. Never was, never is and never will be . If we . as a society , let this so called ‘star’ get away with this type of behaviour, what are we teaching others? That this is acceptable behaviour?

What she said was absolutely disgusting but I would have had more respect for her if she just apologized, period. Apologizing with this lame excuse is nothing more than shifting the blame.

It’s about time someone really put her in her place and called her out for what she is; a classless, rude , inconsiderate person ; and that was my PG version.

I can't stand Oprah or Roseanne, so it would be the same to me. :D
