I can't imagine the show's ratings not tanking. I'm glad the cast and crew were employed again and I wish ABC, etc. the best of luck but it seems hard to believe that the audience is going to stick around for the long term for "Roseanne Without Roseanne".

Yeah so it's the same show and because of that, Roseanne should get a piece. I feel so dirty arguing for her. :)

I can't believe I'm defending Roseanne but searching for a legal way to screw her out of money that she would otherwise get is messed up. If she hadn't gotten fired and they did a spinoff, she'd be getting a piece of the financial pie. It'd be good that alot of the people who lost their job...

Damn right. If I hear one more person say something bad about Jar Jar Binks, I'm gonna lose it!

I was wondering that too. I haven't seen it stated either way but it read like they didn't bleep it. I assume that like a number of cable channels now, TBS doesn't censor certain shows.

Yeah, I'm not a doctor (surprise) but she's been saying some awful and really weird stuff for years now. If a person with a high profile doesn't realize that what she Tweeted would result in serious consequences, it's not simply racism- it seems like mental illness. If it is, I hope this is a...

I think I'm more pessimistic than you because I think regular people would act like that too. :) The entitlement that I see from some regular jerk in line at Target is staggering to me so if they act like that as 'regular' people, I can only imagine that they'd be the stereotypical celebrity if...

I don't think celebrities' sense of self-importance is particularly greater than many other people today. Celebrities just have more chances to espouse their viewpoints and if given the same opportunity to be heard, many 'regular' people would do the same thing as the celebrities they deride. I...

The timing was poor since she should have seen that people would try to equate the two and weaponize it against her but personally, I don't see any problem with what Samantha Bee said. People can certainly be offended by the language but I was not. And that's not a double standard because if...

Yeah, one may be seen as offensive and one is used to dehumanize a person. No one can seriously say that they're even remotely on the same level.

And you'd know better than me but I imagine that alot of shows already have writers and crews for the upcoming season so some of them might have a hard time finding a gig and could be in real financial trouble.

Call me cynical but I think they cancelled it because they knew that was just too much to defend. And people will try to say that the world is "too PC" or "It was bad but she's a comedian. They step over the line sometimes." or say that the first amendment is being violated (which is just...

Even more sad is that TV is on a 15 year creative hot streak and audiences are still wanting to see the same old stuff again. That being said, I love that The X-Files is back and Twin Peaks was the best thing on TV or in a movie theater last year so it's not all bad.
