roseanne

all that hype and stuff, glad i didnt start watching it...people need to be able to take a joke a little better tho

The problem is her tweet was not a joke.  It was an ugly racist comment.

so they cancelled Roseanne because of racist tweets. liked the show now all those people are out of work. she is a comedian so I think she stepped over the line without thinking. liked the original show better.

I honestly don't care. She has a right to her opinion. They all make racist comments. Just depends on who and what you insult.  If you insult Trump not a word will be said.  If you insult Republicans not a word will be said. If you insult Christians not a word will be said.  Insult the opposite of all that and all h*ll breaks loose.

As for cancelling the show and everyone being out of work - they could have just killed her off.  I thought of that this morning.  But the people on that show all have plenty of money and they all will be doing something new in a week or two so no big deal.

I'm so bummed, this was the first show in a long time that I've actually been enjoying. The original was great and this was going pretty good, especially Jackie and Darlene. What she tweeted was bad but wow they really took immediate action. Guarantee if Roseanne was liberal and that tweet was directed at anyone connected to Trump, there would be no thought at all about axing her show.

I never watched the show either, sorry for the other people who lost their jobs.

I am not a big fan of her so therefore i really don't care that her show was canceled. These comedians are really getting out of line.

It is sad that the show canceled.

I agree Sendmicheck, good grief, Trump says racist crap all the time and is constantly tweeting. But they sure haven't canceled him I heard he was advocating for her haha. But the thing is, I  didn't think it was all THAT bad, and she did apologize and removed the tweet and closed her account. Sheesh, they could at least give her a warning first. They didn't hurt the cast near as much as the fans. I love the show, always have, always will, and I also heard that FOX might pick it up. I'm all for that!!

[tuffys_daughtr]

And I like Wanda Sykes and all, but I kind of thought the writing wasn't near as good as it was before. Shoot, I'm sure they can find new writers easily enough.

I thought tweeting would've been an improvement to her annoying loud brash racist voice but now.......?!!!!!  It was right to boot her off her own show but because of her stupidity many coworkers are out of the job! How are they going to support their families because of this stupid racist loud mouth *bleep*?!!!!!!! Other countries will associate big fat ugly loud mouth white racist  women as the American way! The White House's on Fire & America's doomed to become another Germany 3rd Reich hell!!!!!!!!

I have never liked her and pretty much always thought she was offensive.  I finally looked last night and saw the tweet that is in question and I don't really see a problem with it.  There have been a lot worse tweets, cartoon, and jokes made about Republicans, Donald Trump, and Christians and  everybody says it's freedom of speech.

Somebody made the comment that this is just a distraction to take people's mind off real problems and that makes sense. Half the flippin country is bent out of shape over this and so worried about it.  WHO CARES!  Look at HER official twitter account. She is an offensive loud mouthed blowhard.  She attacks everyone who doesn't agree with her.  She insults everybody coming and going.

They could have kept the show and just killed her off.  The tweet was not half as bad as a lot of the other stuff I see so canceling the show, her talent agent firing her, and everything else that is happening because of ONE tweet that she did apologize for seems extensive.

Hello!

I don't care for Roseanne much but I do think it is a bit much to cancel her show. I mean isn't there another way to make her fix the problem? Overall just too many people are getting in trouble now.

She apologized. Not a lot more she can do.  I am sure the person the tweet was about has done things just as bad.  People are too vengeful these days.  They are out for blood.  Even in the little people in the world.  A man wanted a cashier fired from her job because she refused to accept an out of date coupon.  IF she accepts the coupon and it is out of date then SHE gets in trouble.  But he goes on a rant and wants her to be fired from her job?  People are too full of hate these days.

Racist is a word like bully it is way over used and mostly used incorrectly.  I wonder why you don't think the racist tweets made by the butt of this joke are racist.  No that is freedom of speech.  Well Roseanne has the same freedom of speech everyone else does.

Do you laugh at the jokes and memes making fun of Donald Trump? Or do you laugh at them?  This country is so divided it is unreal and it is never going to change.  People are too full of hate.  This stupid tweet has people every where who had nothing to do with it fighting, calling each other names, insulting each other, and out for blood and it doesn't even concern them.

I have read where other networks have already offered to pick up the show.  Like will go on.  And all this attention even the ones meaning it for negative will do nothing but further her career.

Well, she (or anyone) doesn't HAVE to like any particular person or group. A person doesn't HAVE to like black people or white people or Christians or Atheists or Muslims or LGBTQ or women or men or liberals or conservatives. But it's better for everyone if you keep that to yourself. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.

I stopped watching/reading the news and I quit all my social media accounts, because I'm so tired of everyone tearing everyone else down. The internet has really exposed how savage people can be.

I wasn't a big fan of the show when it first came out and had no absolutely no interest in the re-release, especially when I heard that hit had a political bend to it which wasn't the initial aim/focus of the show when it was originated. The media is up in arms citing other comedians that have said inappropriate things. I may be wrong but these other comedians made these statements while entertaining people that paid for, and expected, this behavior while Roseanne made her inappropriate statement from the confines of her home and could be taken literally for her intention. I did find the response from Ambien (the drug company that RoseAnne blamed her behavior on) humorous-"racism is not a known side effect". I am thinking that more went into the show cancellation than one poorly thought out comment.

shes a loose cannon that cant be trusted to say the right thing
