I think the show is exactly what I expected it would be without its creator and most important cast member...AWFUL.
I watched the first few episodes just to see if I was right in my assumption that it would be a failure without Roseanne and I, clearly, was definitely right. I feel bad for John Goodman. I was hoping it would do ok for his sake. However, Sara Gilbert is getting exactly what she deserves. She got so full of herself that she thought that she could take over for Roseanne. Not hardly!
She wouldn't even have a career at all, if it wasn't for Roseanne Barr and she should have been more grateful and more loyal to her. The whole firing of Roseanne was uncalled for and completely ridiculous. Still, Sara Gilbert couldn't wait to jump on that bash Roseanne band wagon. She doesn't deserve to prosper from her lack of loyalty and greed!
