Well. I might be super disappointed, then.

Maybe SHE doesn’t, but she’s not writing everything. She is an executive producer, which means she’s putting money into the project. That doesn’t mean she’s in charge of it, because the other executive producers include Tom Werner, Bruce Helford, Whitney Cummings and Tony Hernandez. What I’m saying is, Roseanne is…

Okay, but consider this. Roseanne Barr wrote a lot of this material. She wrote this character. So if she, who wrote this character as a reflection of herself, could bring herself to not just vote for Trump but also support him, why do you think the character wouldn’t? Because the character isn’t infallible. The…

This was a moment for me, as a kid, when I realized that white people have an advantage when it comes to pot. I was always told that if you do drugs the police will beat you up, whereas here is a white family smoking pot without any fear because they used to do it as kids. Roseanne taught me a lot!

I wouldn’t be surprised either.

“and therefor should be absolved of some (or all) responsibility.”

When did I ever say that? I said I don’t disagree with you. Let’s not turn this into something it’s not.

I don’t disagree with you, but I also understand that for a lot of people in these areas, the media they see isn’t the same as what we might be seeing. Like, I wouldn’t be surprised if all of those terrible things were spun in a different way. I’ve heard plenty of people say that the discrimination suits and…

My god the hat!! Come on, Michelle!!

Disappointing. I’d love to see what Michelle would have worn!

It’s a tragedy that she died so young.

I really hope that’s not the case. I know Roseanne has proven to be somewhat unhinged, and she disappoints me. But I’d like to think Sara Gilbert is smarter then that.

Yes, I agree.

Yup. I know a guy who says the same thing. I honestly think these people are a shamed but don’t want to admit it.

Here’s an article I read about her and her TV son, I think she’s gonna handle it gracefully:

Yes, that also happened. Also, Dan had some major anger issues that he had to work through. Also in the last season (I guess it’s not canon, anymore) Dan very nearly had an affair.

Because Sara Gilbert is the one who spearheaded this project and I think she’s going to have a lot more creative input.

I know a lot of supposedly “liberal” minded people who smoked pot, were pro union, (supposedly) against racism, and still voted for Trump. It’s not as insane as it sounds.

I honestly thing you’re going to see a lot more influence from Sara Gilbert, who supposedly is the one who spearheaded getting the show revived. Roseanne tried to do it herself, but it was Gilbert who got this new project off the ground.

“Dan & their group of friends getting laid off, losing health insurance, and watching the town waste away..” Didn’t all of that happen in the original series?

Yes, exactly!! Like, remember the episode where Dan has to confront the fact that he has some internal racist bias? This show was not just escapism and the Conners weren’t always a reflection of what we want to see.
