1. Viacom is pulling 'Roseanne' reruns

2. Yep. Ain't nobody getting paid.

Haha!

6. Tough shit on them...

I always hated that show

While shows i loved die an early death and never made it to syndication

[Solly Mack]

7. Inside joke in my house is if we love it will be canceled.

But we have to tell someone else we love a show. It's safe if we only talk about it between the two of us.

10. The only part I ever liked about that show was John Goodman

I'm sorry he wasted so many of his acting years on it.

[Honeycombe8]

11. He's a wonderful actor who owes Roseanne a lot. But he's an enabler, out of loyalty. nt

13. John Goodman is great!

I like him as Dan Conner,
I liked him in Flight.
I liked him in King Ralph.
And he was great as Det. Andre DeSoto in The Big Easy. A small part but he had delivery.

19. He played quite the badass too, in Oh Brother Wherefore Art Thou nt.

20. I haven't seen it

I wasn't very impressed with 10 Cloverfield Lane it was different.

21. Info on Oh Brother...

JG only had a supporting part in the film.

OH Brother... Is a unique film, like a 40's setting, with a story somewhat modeled after Homer's Odyssey. As a musical.

Here's a short clip from it:

5. She is officially unemployed

3. I feel badly for the folks

who lost their jobs in the wake of Roseanne’s racist rants. They didn’t have this coming...but she certainly did.

[Solly Mack]

4. They had to know it was a risk. She was ranting long before the reboot and she

continued to rant once it started.

She deleted a lot of her sicko tweets just prior to the reboot. (and during)

ABC was saying things like politics won't be part of the 2nd season and they were separating the character from the actress and hopes people would as well.

Disney/ABC knew their "star" could ruin things.

A lot of the main characters had other work - shows/movies/the stage.

You can't pet a rabid dog. You just can't.

[Honeycombe8]

12. But they knew what the show's premise was: A Trumper show, with crazy libruls. nt

[MontanaMama]

14. Yes. You're correct.

Probably thinking she wouldn’t go as far as she did. Live and learn I guess.

[Honeycombe8]

15. Yeah...they had decided not to say Trump's NAME...

because of the backlash and unpopularity of it (and to disguise the propaganda nature of the show). So they were attempting to dial back the station a bit on that...but Roseanne is Roseanne.

I think what may have happened is that she has been posting in conservative forums, where that sort of talk is commonplace. She forgot that the real world doesn't accept disgusting talk like that. And it is disgusting. Calling a black person anything related to you know what comes straight out of the old KKK book and is among the worst of things you can say. Or maybe it's just me who is particularly offended by the particular statement she made. There was one like it made about Michelle Obama not too long ago, as well as a photo that made the rounds. I just find that very offensive...and it's a particular thing that makes the conservative circuit.

8. Celebrating a little bit here in the Show-Me state!

[Solly Mack]

9. I can imagine!

[Cha]

16. Brilliant, Solly! Three LOSERS. So Much

LOSING!

[Solly Mack]

17. We need more days like today.

Thanks, Cha.

[Cha]

18. Yes, We Do.. and Hopefully

they will be coming. Can't wait until that 3rd Loser is knocked off his pedestal.
