[@cindyasters]

Sara you disappoint me so much, Roseanne supported you over the years and you were one of the first to condemn her. Shame on you.

[@livingfree7153]

cindyasters SHAME ON NO TALENT SARA!!!!

[@gallery7596]

cindyasters, did you support Roseanne after her infamous rendition of "The National Anthem" back the in the '90's? Just curious.

[@texasmama3684]

But that who Sara is.

[@cindyasters]

@@gallery7596 That was a joke she was attempting to mimic a ball player. . .

[@gallery7596]

@cindyasters Why didn't republicans at the time (including the president of the United States) find it funny?

[@piano61485]

This is so uncomfortable. You can tell John Goodman is not happy. This was Roseanne’s legacy... There is no Roseanne with out ROSEANNE. I have zero interest in watching this, and it makes me regret them ever reviving the show only to destroy it.

[@SummerLove316]

Channel Ian I saw that as well, he seems miserable without the woman that made the show truly funny....RIP Conners He seems to hate his job just praying it gets canceled

[@naseeranieves9524]

I didn't see it, don't get me wrong I love him, Because he was like a model a strong husband should be, but what he said to the question about what would he say to the people who don't want to watch the show, he said, that it doesn't cost nothing, he didn't seem heartbroken to me, I've always said and I will always say, I stand by 🌹 ANNE and I love her so much and I will never watch the Conners, because it's like stabbing her in her in the back more than her cast members did, shame on THEM!!!!

[@SummerLove316]

Nas'eera Nieves He could insult the show or he would have gotten fired making Roseanne’s sacrifice meaningless as he’s the only one that hasn’t stabbed her in the back. I can tell that he thought of something that wasn’t going to get him fired but saying that “watching is free, won’t cost you nothing” was a way of showing how much he misses his partner in crime. He’s said he knows for a fact that she isn’t racist unlike the other cast members that wouldn’t have a career without her. I’m out near her home in Hawaii right now & would give anything to tell her that by taking her out they lost the heart & brains of that show! If you notice The dark haired backstabbed didn’t want to let him sing her praises, she’s the producer now & I can hardly wait for this to be canceled! Roseanne created an amazing body of work with her old show that my family will only watch reruns!

[@naseeranieves9524]

Summer Love . I guess you're right, I never thought of it that way, I guess I just miss both of them being together, I watch reruns everyday, when my Mom was alive I use to joke around everytime I was watching 🌹 ANNE and say that they were my second Family, I really miss 🌹 ANNE so much.... I really miss my Mom as well, May she rest in peace....

[@SummerLove316]

Nas'eera Nieves I definitely miss watching their unmatched chemistry as John Goodman & Roseanne Conner, they truly are best friends! My condolences on your mother, I lost my mom a while back & I don’t think a day goes by where I don’t miss her. It’s so nice to have those memories, I treasure & hold on to my memories of my mom & Grams with every fiber of my being so it’s good that you have those to remember all the good times!

[@joann2348]

Good and I hope he keeps it up . I hope when his contract is up he walks. And by the time that happens I hope Roseanne has a new show to pull him back acting with her. I even have a great idea. Wish I could send it to Roseanne. Where is she ?

[@Yobbie72]

she's there to promote a new show; John seems to be hung up on the old show.

[@SummerLove316]

Roseanne made that girl & went out of her way to make sure she could attend college while still filming, so ungrateful. John seems so miserable to have lost the woman that was his teammate & made the show truly funny, I’m glad he’s being loyal as he’s said publicly that she isn’t racist! I hope Roseanne can create a new show so he can be happy in his job & since the Conners is going to be RIP rather soon!

[@Yobbie72]

Roseanne tweeted that she was OK with them doing a show without her, in the immediate days of her firing. She said she didn't want the to lose work. Now she's changed her tune, but that's OK.

[@joann2348]

She is as ugly on the outside as she now has proven to be on the inside. As for Michael Fishman I see through this little jerk . Anyone who was givin what all of them have been givin by Roseanne will be sent their wake up calls. They failed their co worker and family friend by not supporting her actions. When you love someone you catch them when they are falling . You speak in favor you don't get mad and post it publically . They could not find a element of compassion in their hearts . They see now the ratings are not going in favor of them. You don't throw someone under the buss especially if they apologized. The post was NOT racist . Remember Joan Rivers, Richard Prior, Eddie Murphy , Andrew Dice Domino and the VIEW who all made comments that are considered racial . I can't see how you people can go on without her. I hope she kicks your asses and I hope more and more people STOP watching tv on Tuesday nights skipping your uncreative show . And I hope Roseanne focuses on a new show a new better storyline . ABC made this choice based on politics. Asses . Complete asses . Never were we viewers considered never.

[@mrhorrorlover9117]

They should never have gotten rid of Roseanne.

[@bigred8432]

Roseanne chose to value her sharing her own opinion, via a professional platform than the careers of hundreds of people. She was the face of the brand, she had a responsibility to everyone working on that show. She decided that she, one person was more important. TV shows and movies are not made from a group of people, sitting in a room and throwing pixie dust in the air. The networks/companies spend millions of dollars on research and outreach: they watch their numbers and act accordingly. They know week my week, if a character or storyline isn’t working and they act on it - that is the job. I don’t believe that Roseanne is fundamentally racist, I think she said something racist and was enormously foolish to do so, using her profession platform. We now lose her talent BUT she chose to do this. The network have looked at the enormous bad feeling that has been levelled at them and they acted accordingly. It might not work, if coutse but all this silliness about how terrible and shameful the network is, that’s nonsense. This is business. If Roseanne was the president of a drinks company and she become toxic for business, overnight because of a foolish public mistake then she would be fired. It’s no different,

@Blankety Blank did he not see the episode where the son doesnt want to kiss the black girl as part of the play and later Roseanne gets scared when the girls dad comes to the restaurant? The characters are made to understand their prejudices even if they arent outwardly racist. But because Roseanne got fired for being a mean drugged up shrew people want to see her as some hero of racists everywhere and ignore what her show was about.

[@bigred8432]

Which ones?

[@roberthelmick9574]

@@bigred8432 problably the one where every black comedian has jokes about white people, but when a right winged white woman makes a joke (which was by far not racist in comparison to white jokes) it's taken to the point that a show is destroyed along with a woman's career. Everytime I read that tweet, I just laugh and think about how solid the backbone of this country used to be. The crybaby routine has gotten old and it's about to backfire on the people who support this type of white shaming. People just don't realize the patience that has been put into this modern day outspoken hate towards white people. The constant reminders of a world that was left behind many years before the ones who are being attacked today were even born. This is the double standard. This isn't about equal rights, because equal rights have been there since the Jim Crow era died. This is an attempt to overthrow the white race, by means of the power in politics. And force upon them the same hardships the black people of this country once felt with. But the problem in that is the fact that it is an attack on people who had nothing to do with the past. You see, bringing equality to all the people of this country has been a long battle. And it has stained our countries image to the point that it's easy to convince any person of color, religion, or nationality that a white person is evil. But understand that it has always been us fighting for those freedoms. Yes, there has always and will always be the ones who are bigoted racist. This is a trait that a percentage of all races carry. But freedom wasn't won simply by the black man. It's started in the Congress of white people. White people who seen what was going on, who seen people of color to be equal to themselves. It was our votes that led to the illegalization of slavery, which led to the separation of this country, which led to the civil war to reunite this country, and thus eventually the freeing of slaves. The was done by passionate white people who knew that what this country was doing was wrong. Nothing happens over night. That is why I will say that this country has always been great, we just weren't perfect. But we fought, stood beside the people who were enslaved and demanded their freedom. And the years that followed tell the exact same story. We backed people like Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, and ensured that they have a place to speak and let their voices be herd. It was a long fight to get here, but the black community has made it. And now we face another challenge. And that is the repercussions of the actions of our ancestors.

[@roberthelmick9574]

@@bigred8432 sad to see you didn't get the one I mentioned at the vet beginning of my rant. But let me say it again. I'll even space it so it won't get mixed up. The fact that almost every single black comedian has a routine where they make jokes based on white people. But if a white comedian makes a joke relateable to a black person, then it's deemed racist. So there you go. Double standards. Hopefully that clears it up for you.

[@jaimeav6050]

I've seen compassion from Laurie Metcalf, Lecy Goranson, and especially John Goodman. I haven't seen Sara Gilbert show any compassion from the start regarding Roseanne getting fired, and that's a little scary to me. Is it because Roseanne is a Trump supporter? I have to say, I don't agree with Roseanne's politics, but I've still been supportive of her the whole way through. Even at the start of the reboot when people were against this show because of Roseanne's support for Trump. It's a shame when people's politics divide each other that much. If we can't find a middle ground, then we're going backwards, not forwards.

[@eaaivazian]

@@liamfeely It amazes me how you conservatives have an entire philosophy based on the idea that nobody should be a victim...yet, whenever some conservative icon acts like an a&*hole, you all victimize that person. The only person who didn't have anybody's back is Roseanne herself. She put her entire show (and the jobs of everybody associated with that show) on the line because she felt compelled to make a moronic late-night racist tweet. You MAGA morons cry and whine about how it was not racist...you cry about free speech...but the truth of the matter is: using the word "ape" to describe black people IS racist. It is a description that MOST people consider offensive. She SHOULD be allowed to say what she wants. But a network should NOT be forced to be associated with her if she wants to say such things. SO...they fired her. John Goodman and the rest of the cast decided to keep the show going (and a ton of people employed) by distancing themselves from the woman who decided to describe a black woman as an ape. If you want to make her a victim or some sort of MAGA icon, knock yourself out. The show is STILL going. People are still employed. (There's a reason MAGAs have not one a single election since 2016...including midterms.)

[@donna7873]

I hope ABC will decide that it was just a bad (decision) dream and bring Roseanne back .

[@tls9507]

I love John Goodman. I know he was not happy how the whole situation with Roseanne was handled. As far as Sara Gilbert, I feel she had no problem turning her back on Roseanne Barr. John himself said that Roseanne is not a racist. I will not be watching. Roseanne was a Trump supporter in real life and no apologies would make up for that in the liberal directed show. If Roseanne were liberal she would have gotten some 'twitter' backlash and then forgiven, such as Better Midler, Kelly Osbourne, Bill Maher and other liberals who have said worse. If the show doesn't succeed it's because all plays out in the Universe. You don't crucify a human being, who was your castmate, your mentor, your friend, who also apologized like that. If it does succeed then the person that I am truly happy for is John Goodman and that's about it.

Sara is as Phoney as they come. She insults our intelligence as she has from the start. She has always had her own hidden agenda. I've yet to see any narritive from her that is TRUE. What she took such a huge part in to boot off Roseanne truly is ABHORANT! Still not watching and to kill Rosie off with an opioid overdose was just Sara putting the last nail in the coffin. Piss off to you all... Dont forget that you still have that job off Roseannes back...as you did from the start. That's not Friendship. I mean....could you all have found a bigger bus to throw her under? Look how many of you there were to support and back and stand behind her, knowing she's not a racist. But you didn't even think to do that all of you. That says a lot about who you people are. Our family wants nothing to do with The Cruel Conners. Free or not.

[@bigred8432]

Roseanne chose to value her sharing her own opinion, via a professional platform than the careers of hundreds of people. She was the face of the brand, she had a responsibility to everyone working on that show. She decided that she, one person was more important. She decided to stab the hundreds of people who work on this show in the back, by endangering their livelihoods. TV shows and movies are not made from a group of people, sitting in a room and throwing pixie dust in the air. The networks/companies spend millions of dollars on research and outreach: they watch their numbers and act accordingly. They know week my week, if a character or storyline isn’t working and they act on it - that is the job. I don’t believe that Roseanne is fundamentally racist, I think she said something racist and was enormously foolish to do so, using her profession platform. We now lose her talent BUT she chose to do this. The network have looked at the enormous bad feeling that has been levelled at them and they acted accordingly. It might not work, if coutse but all this silliness about how terrible and shameful the network is, that’s nonsense. This is business. If Roseanne was the president of a drinks company and she become toxic for business, overnight because of a foolish public mistake then she would be fired. It’s no different,
