We knew how Roseanne was going to die off. I watched the first episode to see how the show would survive without her. It was what I expected. It was bland and the chemistry was gone. Roseanne may be many things, but she is a gifted comic among them. I turned the first show off after five minutes and haven’t watched since.
A renegade network like what Fox used to be that would have let her do and say whatever she wanted should have picked the show back up.
And as far as what Roseanne said, people get away with doing and saying a lot worse things.
