One show - great ratings - and renewed for a second season? A lot of viewers were watching just out of curiosity. The show was promoted by ABC for months. Barr and Goodman did many appearances on talk shows to promote it. But two things are - in my mind problematic. One - Barr is shooting off her mouth and tweeting Nazi tweets. And Two - Trump is taking credit for her ratings.

I think I would at least wait til episode three this season to see if the numbers hold up. I'm thinking there will be a sharp dropoff of viewers by then.

A lot of it was due to curiousity. BigmanPigman Mar 2018 #1

I watched the reboot. I was curious how a comedian would defend Trump . . . Journeyman Mar 2018 #7

Yup. But even if it sheds 25% of its audience in the second week, that's still huge Blue_Adept Mar 2018 #10

Curiosity is not the same as loyalty. ABC will get burned and will regret this... NurseJackie Mar 2018 #2

because you can bet Roseanne will do something awful to wreck it all, bank on it. sunonmars Mar 2018 #4
