OT ABC Cancels Roseanne

[donkiez]

No, I made no counter point.
I simply observed that you admitted that you were pleased a her platform, the most popular show on TV had been remove

Yes. In our great country you have the right to be an asshole, I have the right to think your an asshole, but neither of us has the right to a be on a TV show.

By the way, I was actually a viewer of the show and was excited for it. It was a terrible let down though and we were already questing some of its content and attempt at some humor. It was just a matter of time before it slipped significantly in ratings, because I doubt we were going to watch much longer. For instance (I mentioned this already) but there was an episode where Roseanne was scared of the new Muslim neighbors but needed to use their wifi for an emergency at 2am, so she went over to their house with a baseball bat to ask them for the password. WTF is up with that?

Nicely done.

Maybe we will get to judge in the near future.

I doubt it. There is no chance in hell any other major network will pick it up and I suspect they will not be willing to take the huge pay-cut to run it on public access where-ever racist jokes are popular.

insult via twitter is the new way to govern....Pocahantas….Crooked fill in the blank....Entertainment tonight fired their poster boy for chuckling at Trump's pussy grabbing jokes....and we wonder why this behavior is feeling empowered? House of Cards was the most popular show on the planet and they canned it over Spacey....no more Cosby show reruns syndicated...all cash cows in entertainment

 

[riverman]

I imagine you play it well. My musical talent is nil, but I do love to hear it played well.

I'm a way better guitarist but the banjo makes me happy ...clears the mind...nobody frowns while playing the banjo

This is completely constitutional on this country. All legal. Why should ABC get to fire her over free speech?

ABC has the right to broadcast and pay for any content that they want to do. No one is stopping her for continuing her show, problem is, those who would normally pay for the production don't want to anymore. That's not censorship or denying someone of free speech. Roseanne has the money she can do what Oprah did and start her own network.

[The Professional Fan]

AH! Thank you for the admission.

Now no one can watch it and that is good!!!

I know you think you're being clever and baiting here, but yeah, I'm thrilled Trumpers cannot watch it anymore. Fuck them. And most certainly fuck that cow pig racist Roseanne. Any level of defense over someone that compared a black woman to an Ape is truly deplorable (fitting!).

Good luck finding enough customers and sponsors to fund such a network. Who wants to attach their name and reputation to a racist?

I suppose Cosby could start a network from prison but who would sponsor that? The Prison Guards of America union?

And who would sponsor Roseanne? Skin Heads of America? Neo Nazis of America? White Supremacists of America?

Well ...she could hit up Trump and they could have a 24/7 network of their greatest hits. Trump News alone could go 23 hours and then Roseanne can come on ...oh and at 5am they could replay when she did the national anthem...oh may it could be just like when ESPN started...the revolution will begin LMFAO

Not your fault. You don't need context to know I'm usually being a dick. As in....if they wouldn't have locked the damn thread I would have kept it over there and I wouldn't have appeared to defend Roseanne. Fucking mods

 

[KingSpeed]

Of course there aren't Eric....but I define poor differently than was proposed here..I've lived and worked in Silverlake, Glendale and Echo Park...my roommate was in the biz as were his friends...sure they wanted a hit series but they worked regularly..from what I've been told New York theater is much tougher to survive in than Hollywood. I knew set carpenters, painters, etc....there aren't unlimited jobs in any field really.

Good for your roommate and friends working regularly but about 85% of the union doesn't.

 

[KingSpeed]

Here's what I found online: The bulk of SAG's members, about two-thirds, according to some estimates, make less than $1,000 a year from acting, either because they can find no work or because they have moved on to other careers but kept up their dues. SAG said the average annual income for its membership was $52,000.

Keep in mind that that average income includes movie stars who make millions. Two thirds make less than $1000. So most actors are dirt poor.

They're chasing a dream. Good for them

Yeah, they suck.

Yes, It is already pretty well established that silencing anyone that speaks other than what you want to hear is a Victory. Most lefties find this a Victory, they just want to have the appearance of moral superiority.

 

[MarAzul]

I know you think you're being clever and baiting here

Actually, I never think it is clever to differ with the lefties in this forum, which is most of them. It is easy for me, nothing clever required. I just let you know my natural reaction, most often, I expect what I see, but there are times when I am appalled.
However, this time, it is somewhat amusing to see normal pity party participants totally worked over a silly remark, as if the future of the world were being changed.

 

[MarAzul]

Skin Heads of America? Neo Nazis of America? White Supremacists of America?

How many groups of people do you hate Lanny? Do they all have names?

You complaints about people losing their jobs and your love of socialized (VA) medicine makes you our token socialest.

Guaranteed employment and medicine for all!

You support the racist woman who did this:

what I saw was most of those out of movie or tv work worked in restaurants or tended bar...everybody had a side job

 

[dviss1]

That FAULTY BITCH grabbed her crotch and SPIT after purposely MURDERING the Anthem.

She's a Trump Darling...

 

[riverman]

I think you have an exaggerated vision going on here....I'm hardly totally worked over ...I'm going fishing..that'll change the world

She had to have been drunk.

I did not support anyone. I strongly criticize everyone that enjoys seeing people silence for not speaking what you want to hear. Trademark lefty shit.
