The drama behind the scenes on 'Roseanne'

[@teresaf991]

She s bit of a nut in real life. But I truly dont think she meant the remark she made as racist. I believe her statement that she did nt even know the woman was black. The woman whose father is 50% black. So she's 25%. She was joining Trump in the personal insults that he makes towards anyone on the "other" side.

[@charmberry9310]

OMFG...I knew I couldn't have been the only black one!! I'm watching reruns which is why I'm here because I wanted to see if Becky and Darlene had beef behind the scenes. I know Darlene and the first DJ in episode one had problems which is why he is no longer on the show!!

Roseanne is one of my favorite shows, I've watched it as a kid and I still watch it in dvd now. I know my mom didn't like it at all but I think the reason was because we lived some of these story lines and she didn't like reliving the negative memories. I on the other hand liked seeing that there were other family's out there that did struggle like my mom and dad, it have new comfort. I applaud Roseanne Barr for her brilliant mind and bringing a show to network television that showed/shows how over half of the people really live. Thank you Roseanne, you've given more strength in more ways than one. I'm very excited to see what she has come up with in the revival.

[@stephaniesantana5906]

As a African American young woman, we tuned in to watch her family when my own mother was out getting her master's degree. She helped my mom raise us because she was a single parent. Rosie isn't racist, she's impulsive which unfortunately made and broke her. She now has to realize that she had her time, she was the mom of the 80s/90s generation, enjoy ur money but the role of being alone is a part she hates to play because it's not for a segment and then cut to commercial, it's her daily reality. She cant stand it. 🤷🏽‍♀️

The show was successful because she did things her way. Yes she fired people but it was to ensure the show was done properly and ensured the show was authentic. As much as she was representing the ‘blue class’ she is still a business woman and being the boss sometimes means you have to make decisions that make you unpopular.

the episode when jackies bf beat her up. i think it made everyone who liked the show like dan even more than they already did. he didnt say a word and went and stepped up for his sister in law. and whooped thats dudes ass. i got the thought that they did the episode of it to show the world that they wont put up with men doing that to women and wanted to show that other dont have to either. and theres help for those who may be stuck in a shitty place like that.

I wish that the network had been able to negotiate a way to keep Roseanne on the rebooted show. I love all the original characters, but it's just not the same without Roseanne. I'm not taking sides, it just makes me sad that Roseanne had to sign away the rights to a character she created and to a show that is basically her life story. She was clearly sorry or she wouldn't have signed those rights away in order to make sure everyone else associated with the show would continue to be employed. Now I wonder what the reboot would have been like if it had been allowed to go on as planned.
