Who didn’t love Roseanne. The best humor ever.

Ohhh, so sweet! I loved her too. Still do. My parents were there but not there so I know what you mean. Still love them tho.

@@dreamitable 💜

That’s really beautiful

I'm Black American and I agree! Why hasn't Family Guy and South Park been Cancled! They Fu@ked her good. I miss her

Why a raw deal?

@@nastashavalentinodefranco2990 She's not dead.

@@picard4327 because she is a true comedian.she lived the American dream.

@@johndean4727 She got a raw deal because she's a comedian? If you watched the clip, she said she loves stand-up and prefers that over TV. What's the problem?

ABSOLUTELY

God bless you & thank you from one of her fans. I feel the same! I had someone comment to me on one of her recent videos & because I thought highly of Roseanne & respect her & so 4th somebody asked me if I was drunk or on the medicine she was on that they thought she should be fired for. I told them to not disrespect me or her. My opinion wasn't going to change & I'm not going to listen to her haters & if they didn't like that I had her back & to skip my comment.

@@Berry-Bliss-l6c Its always ignorant sheep who go by what the tabloids say and dont know what theyre talking about.

Me too!

I Love Lucy is overrated, but I agree with you on Roseanne.

Well...

Many important topics such as racism, which people quickly seemed to forget before she was canceled.

@@felicecinque absolutely. I still believe today that Roseanne is not and never was a racist. She made a poor choice of words in that tweet, but it was wildly misunderstood and meant to convey something else than it appeared to. It’s sad how most of Hollywood, including her own cast mates, whose careers she was responsible for taking flight and also rejuvenating, turned their backs on her.

That was true, but that was original showrunner Matt Williams. Roseanne's standup was a lazy woman who watched soaps and ate junkfood all day. Matt Williams and Carsey-Werner, who had DONE the cosby show, wanted a blue collar and more realistic working class family. Those original scripts and house were all done before Roseanne. The show actually started to worsen as she got more and more control. If you recall, the first season had her in a factory with lots of other workers and even a potential union angle. There is a hard and fast rule in Hollywood that you NEVER talk about unions in network television. And thats of course why the eighties families all had really weird jobs that were never blue collar or organized. They didn't actually have a union but it was pretty close. Then they dumped that idea and instead made her a waitress and ultimately a small business owner. The 'working class' was weeded out of it, only the working class money problems remained. Money problems are OK, so long as you don't talk about public policies to deal with them, like minimum wage. Not to mention Michigan is a state that has Citizen Initiatives which means at any time they could have joined other working class families and actually gotten political in forcing state wide referenda. But thats the other rule in network television, don't get political. You can show political problems, but thats it. So all those those things actually predated Roseanne, you can watch the emmy interviews with carsey werner and Matt Williams to see that. She most definitely came at the right place at the right time, as she pretty much admits here. Thats doesn't take away from her talent at all, she was certainly one of the funniest of those eighties comics, and she was certainly a better actor than people like Jerry Seinfeld.

@@mikearchibald744 The show was based on her life as a working woman. Williams stole her life like The Conners stole her show in 2018. He was fired in the first season. Not all fans hate her later seasons, I like them more. She wrote about her struggle to control her creation. This interview is edited.

@Mike Archibald The show not only started to worsen in the ratings since 1993-94 season (oddly enough after her plastic surgery indulgence was a bit obvious), but it flat out sucked. Their scenarios would have been fine if they weren’t internally directed (by guess who?) to include over-the-top acting that started to resemble the Bundys on Married With Children nonsense. Also I don’t think that it was a good idea to advocate and achieve Tom Arnold as a writer for the show. I tried watching it up to the 1994-95 season but I gave up on it. The show went from entertainment to boring @ss silly.

@@maxmulsanne7054 Well, some think the slide started after the first season when Matt Williams the showrunner left. As I said, he and the producers were the ones looking for the grounded feel. It did benefit from the fact that like Seinfeld and the Simpsons it was at least unique. It also had jokes which at least were better than most. But thats what they say in Hollywood, in fact I even seen a screenwriter tag on KZfaq about it. The first season was about the plot-a blue collar family. But as this screenwriter says, people won't remember your plot but they will remember your characters. To my mind that kills a LOT of shows.

@@Ran-33 No, it wasn't. First of all she wasn't a 'working woman', she was a comedian ever since 79. She never worked at a factory, she never owned a small business. The show was already pitched and being worked on before they even MET her. She was also pitched Married ...With CHildren, which at the time was going to be her and Sam Kinison. But she had terrible representation who said she was going to make movies. She had never even MET Williams or evne spoken to him to even KNOW her life. Her act was completely different and was based on being a spoiled housewife, NOTHING like what the show became. Thats not to say that later on she didn't try to champion at least some of those values, but its completely wrong to state that the show was based on her life OR her act. Even she doesn't say that.

You are so right about it

Sucks? It's remained on air for years after she left.

@@picard4327 LOL. Dude, just because something is still on air doesn't mean it's good.

@@ericervin4778 You have your opinion. The ratings of viewers have kept it on for several years after Roseanne left.

You never saw Good Times? Or was that "territory" not right for you?

@@chrisray6496 of course I saw good times but im talking the 80s when sitcoms changed . I related to what's happening! and one day at a time because kids were being raised by single moms but again that was the 70s and only watched that on reruns.

The original series was genius. The reboot is bland. I just re-watched some old episodes of the original last week and yes: it was flawlessly written, diving into comedy and drama seamlessly. Can't say the same for the reboot, which is self-conscious and unfunny.

@@transp0rter1 Agree the reboot stinks

She’s sorta gone off the deep end in her old age on her nut farm in Hawaii. She sometimes does rants on her KZfaq

Roseanne Barr is a genius ? That's laughable !

@@yvonnehaggart4788 I'll second the genius status.

Yes Love Work Here In Oakland.Ca 😀

Until she met Instagram Madonna was a canny mind

Yeah. People thinks she a big racist, just because she supports someone. Who the media BELIEVES, to be racist. But truly isn’t.

@@AMFWrestling he was he is and he always will be. That's uncomfortable for you because it forces you to assess your own views through the prism of this man you obviously like. Sorry, but it's true and its one of the main reasons he lost in 2020.

@@Irishgui83 They love that vile man because his inner ugliness perfectly represents their inner ugliness. Scared, angry people who are afraid of a changing world.

@@frankducky6130 with Biden, democrats proved that they’re the racist ones. Biden has more evidence in his history of being racist, black people understand that.

@@Ran-33 87 percent to 13 percent in the 2020 election. But yeah, black people understand that.

I have to hold my phone to my ear to hear. The commercials are the right volume but I am not here for them. I'm here to hear Roseanne. I think she will be back in some form. She's a very creative person. Regular TV is not an option. If she wants it bad enough, she'll be back. She was a genius on that show. She's an actress and she'll create another character.

Agreed.

overtly.

She's not racist. She's imperfect like all of us. She made a mistake, but she's not racist.

@@sandy-ke1kr, I am friendly with some of her children and I know she's not anywhere near perfect. but there is no denying she made a mistake that is racist. SHE COMPARED A BLACK WOMAN TO AN APE. i'm sorry but that is wrong on any level you try to justify or spin.

@@memostillthebomb I didn't say that what she did was right. It was wrong. She did face it and apologized for it and I think that they should have given her another chance. Everyone deserves a second chance. It's the only way people grow and become better. Shaming them or cancelling them does nothing to stop any type of racism. It just goes underground. I just think that she deserved a second chance. She's not just her one mistake. We all make really bad mistakes and we all deserve to grow from them and not do them again. I don't agree with cancelling people or punishing them forever. That's just not right. Since, I'm a person of faith, I'm so thankful for all the chances God gave me and all the times I was forgiven. I believe in forgiveness and giving another person an opportunity to make it right. Just how I see it. It's not a spin.

@@sandy-ke1kr sounds like a spin when you bring faith and god into it. but you do you.

That show came back with every woke position represented. It’s was so dumb and improbable. The Connors is so not funny and they can’t cancel it yet because they don’t want to prove that Roseanne carried that show.

If you believe in forgiveness, then why are you punishing the HUNDREDS of other actors and crew members by not watching their show?

@@kattengat2 You do realize Roseanne was on the show when she had a biracial granddaughter and a gender fluid grandson, right?

@@picard4327 First of all I no longer get the channel. Second I don’t like the way she was written out of her show. And third I’ll watch whatever I please.

@@amykrumbholz6446 I guess cancel culture is more important than forgiveness to you. Your choice to cancel.

So any celebrity who talks about left leaning politics is ok - but if it’s not your politics, they should be silenced? That’s the pattern with you libs, you hate freedom of speech unless it’s you talking.

No, not 'any' celebrity. I mean her specifically.

Maude had a big clean house and nice hair and clothes.

It’s a shame what democrats become over the years and how they’re fine with tyranny. Obama thanked ABC for cancelling Roseanne. That’s his legacy.

It’s a shame what was done to her… another exceptional woman destroyed

@@Ran-33 Do you think it is Obama's fault for why China is taking over all the technology? Honestly, I used to think Israel was in the wrong but I'm starting to think that is MK Ultra because when I researched Microsofts international patent for using brainwaves to "mine" cryptocurrency I noticed the top assignees were IBM, Amazon, Facebook followed by a bunch of Chinese companies. Maybe the Israelis were trying to stop this from happening? Am I wrong about that?

🤡 imagine thinking they're still theories

She wasn't into Qanon... she has the freedom to choose support any candidate she wishes..I say that as a Democrat myself.. this is American Democracy with 1st amendment among others, not a Communist, Totalitarian State... cancel culture undermines over 200yrs of Democracy unless you're a "Lefty" spouting it.
