Wondering if Kelly and Ryan will get cut.

The Chew I thought was cancelled a year ago so...

Regatrding American Chopper's return. The Teutl's are one dysfunctional family. Paul Sr is a dictatorial asshat. Paul Jr wants a relationship with his father but Sr doesn't know how to have one. They both nearly killed one another. Mikey was a major .... up. Vinnie quit. Cody can't stand Paul Sr  So, what does a family like that really need? Why, another television series to finish the job. This promises to be a major dumpster fire but it should be entertaining.

Highly recommend watching "Wild Wild Country" a very interesting 6 part documentary on Netflix about the controversial Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and his followers who created an isolated commune in Wasco County, Oregon during the 1980's much to the chagrin of their fellow Oregonians.  Highlights the hypocrisy of Americans promoting the concepts of freedom and democracy in other parts of the world but having very little tolerance for it happening on their own soil. 

Next up "Waco".

welp Roseanne's big mouth has gotten her in trouble again

http://tvline.com/2018/05/29/roseanne-barr-valerie-jarrett-racist-tweet-apology/

 

yeah I'll believe it when I see it, and that stunt has costed her a producer

http://tvline.com/2018/05/29/wanda-sykes-roseanne-leaving-season-11-writer/

I was just about to post this.  A lot of Celebrity + Very Little Intelligence = Roseanne.  Wow.  This *could* snowball and cost her.  Her apology was trash as she admitted the "ape joke" was based on how Jarrett looked.  Like...wow. 

Whitney Cummings also left the show after this season.  So she's down a producer.  How much will Sara Gilbert put up with before she pulls the plug too?  The money must be insane but Disney will have to say something...

well I don't know if Roseanne is going to submit her show (or herself) for emmy consideration, but I don't think she should

It was a good season but not emmy deserving and certainly Roseanne is actually the weakest aspect of the show (the other actors are so superior to her its glaring).  The worst episode was the Roseanne-centric one where she was a racist and drug addict...yeah, hilarious.  John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf and Sarah Gilbert are the standouts.

I'd watch a series where Roseanne was killed off.  Most people probably wouldnt though, unfortunately.

the novelty could wear off fast if they killed off Roseanne, I mean they tried doing two and a half men without Charlie Sheen and novelty wore off fast. Replacements don't always work

 

someone on tvline thought they should rename the show "Roseanne's family" and just have Sandy Duncan replace her...if she was still alive (last time I checked yes she is but I don't think she's acted in years)

That show, Valerie, later Valerie's Family and then Hogan Family actually worked when Valerie Harper left (replaced by Sandy Duncan) but probably because they focused more on Jason Bateman, plus Sandy Duncan was arguably a better character.

What will ABC do if, say, Goodman or Metcalf or Gilbert quit over Roseanne's stupidity?  Roseanne doesnt care because she's worth upwards of $100 million and is 65 but does she really have no care for all the people that work for her show that will lose if she gets the show cancelled?

In the special that aired detailing how the revival came to be, she said Sara Gilbert came to her and Roseanne initially declined saying she was too old to have to fight with anyone and Gilbert told her she (Gilbert) would do all the fighting and Roseanne just had to work.  Well, she's showing you can take the person out of the trash heap but cant take the trash out of the person.

You know what, I hope the other cast and crew get something new with ABC.  They should get the leads (Gilbert, Goodman and Metcalf) together to develop a new series and keep everyone working.

Im amazed at the speed of this. 

At least Roseanne now has a new role as alt right victim of leftist liberal conspiracy.

EDIT: I wonder if a series spun off from Roseanne about Darlene would work.  Have her get a place with Aunt Jackie and her sister.  Dad can visit from time to time.
