    ROSEANNE reboot — what are your thoughts?

    Did they also mention the show is the highest rated sitcom ABC has by far, won the 18-49 demo at 8 PM and was second in the night only to This Is Us, and is virtually stable from last week to this week? https://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/daily-ratings/tuesday-final-ratings-oct-30-2018/ I'm...

    And if they didn't want to go that simple, she ODed on pain pills shortly after surgery, so they can address the opioid issue.

    Season 1(1) of The Conners officially a go for the fall https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/roseanne-spinoff-conners-officially-a-go-at-abc-1117397 Right now, IMO, they have the Trainwreck factor going for them. People will tune into that first episode to see what happened. It...

    Discovery doesn't fit into canon. FIGHT ME!

    ROSEANNE reboot — what are your thoughts?

    Is bugger still bad in the UK, or, just a more family friendly version of fu*k (I really only censored that because I don't know if the board will or not)? Now, twat gets a lot of play in the UK, but is a more obscure and not quite as understood word in the US. Though it's not on a list of...

    ROSEANNE reboot — what are your thoughts?

    Is she the creator of the characters, or just the Roseanne character? Because Matt Williams is listed as creator of the show, which was part of the reason she got him fired by episode 13. However, the end credits say "based on a character created by Roseanne". A Character. So does that leave...

    ROSEANNE reboot — what are your thoughts?

    If nothing else, the first episode will probably blow this season's Roseanne ratings out of the water for curiosity and trainwreck factor. Look at how high Two and a Half Men's ratings shot the beginning of the season after Charlie Sheen flamed out. Plus, if Season (1)1 settles at half of what...

    ROSEANNE reboot — what are your thoughts?

    Apparently, ABC put language in the contract warning of this (if you tend to believe the speculation and rumors), she still ran her cyber mouth, so she most likely knowingly put those hundreds of people out of work for a 280 character internet fix.

    The Ambien Walrus only cares about the location of his bukket, not what color you are.

    However, threat of a lawsuit would be another solid financial reason for not trying to continue.

    ROSEANNE reboot — what are your thoughts?

    It's a longstanding pattern, though, so you know the apology is pretty much bullshit. But that aside, we don't know how badly the money people reacted to this. I doubt ABC's first reaction was "CANCEL EVERYTHING!". But I'm willing to bet that something happened to make the show unairable if...

    You forget John Lithgow and Jane Curtin. In fact, the 3rd Rock cast is all doing pretty well. French Stewart isn't calling anyone names on Twitter, Joseph Gordon-Levitt hasn't went on a drug fueled meltdown, no nude photos of Kristen Johnston...

    Laff has pulled 'em too. http://deadline.com/2018/05/roseanne-dropped-laff-schedule-roseanne-barr-comments-1202399508/ If they want to air another two hours of The Drew Carey Show per day, I'm cool with that. I have five more later season episodes I need to record without the credit crunch.

    ROSEANNE reboot — what are your thoughts?

    Agreed. I'd almost bet advertisers called this morning losing their shit over this, which prompted a swift reaction.

    ROSEANNE reboot — what are your thoughts?

    Poor Zach Braff. If they'd put his show on Tuesdays instead of that other one, he would've been the one to get a second season.

    Ariel Winter sort of tried, but if the worst anyone from the MF cast has done is show a little skin after turning 18, they've gotten lucky.

    Also, Modern Family is dropping like a rock. It wouldnt surprise me if The Goldbergs beats it consistently next season.

    ROSEANNE reboot — what are your thoughts?

    Man, if ABC hadn't canceled, the next season would've been a clusterf*ck trainwreck that would've made season 4 of Welcome Back Kotter look good.

    They could always bring in Sandy Duncan and Ashton Kutcher to star with the rest of the cast in the revamped show The Connor Family.

    Frog and the scorpion. ABC knew her nature. Were they surprised when she stung them?

    ROSEANNE reboot — what are your thoughts?

    Yeah, for all the hype over the premiere numbers, I figure by the debut of season 11 at the latest, it'll be another ABC standard 1.5 demo, 6 million viewer show. And that's not a bad thing, that's ABC standard for their most successful sitcoms now. The only bad thing I see coming out of it is...

    The only positive I see in this is maybe WB clears up some music licensing issues and releases the original series on DVD. ...Or licenses it out to Shout or Time-Life for a complete series release.

    ROSEANNE reboot — what are your thoughts?

    He's confirmed for at least one episode, IIRC. As for Will and Grace? Started out big, it's now settled in around the same numbers as Superstore, which aren't that huge to begin with (1.1, 4ish million viewers). Same thing happened to The X-Files. Big debut, huge drops, now sitting at roughly...
