Great show still. I hate what they did to Roseanne. Politics should not affect your career. That is why we have freedom of speech & the Rule of Law. We shouldn't need a law to say we can't fire you for speech. It's already in the Constitution. However, I feel that many people have rated this show down because they agree with me. 2 wrongs do not make a right. Telling someone that a show is bad is your free speech, & voting something down is also legal, but you are doing this show a disservice & in my opinion something that doesn't follow the heart of the Constitution by essentially trying to end this show, it's jobs, & all the money these talented actors & crew can make by doing what they do well just because some idiots in Hollywood overstepped their bounds. You aren't penalizing them. You are hurting the innocent ones.
Fix the country. Protesting on The Conners reviews is not the correct way. That's how our country got broken to begin with. They want us to fight here, so we wont fight where it's important. Both parties are working together to do this because they stay in power "United We Stand, Divided We Fall." They are doing this to us using those words against us. Until we move to massive reforms & 3rd parties people can lose their jobs like Roseanne for no reason, we will argue about it here, nothing will change, Presidents & Congresses will change, but the Country will remain the same. Broken.
You have to be willing to put Trump AND Clinton in jail & cannot criticize one without the other because they did the same crimes mostly. The fact this show exists is just a microcosm of a bigger proof that the majority of Americans have been brainwashed. Freedom is being able to speak out without fear of losing a job. It's being able to have a gun AND an abortion. It's being able to get married to whomever you want or drive without a seatbelt because these things don't affect other people. It's realizing that when our country was founded all people did all day was talk about how they should act, how seriously to take it, what role each official & citizen could play because it was all so new.
They protected their homes without police, their towns as a team, their country without drafts, their finances without banks & credit, & their children & women without support. When we find that spirit again & channel it through our government programs & private outlets only then can we make America great. We have never fully realized the Dream yet. Once we fix one problem we create another. We free slaves & give universal suffrage, but circumvent the laws with a court of public opinion.
Don't let Roseanne (or House of Cards) be the status quo. They can do it here, they can do it anywhere, even at YOUR job. It is almost as funny as the original & Metcalf steps up & deserves an Emmy for her role. This entire cast was always so funny that no one person ever needed to shoulder the role. The loss of one person can't kill the already baked in formula that just... works. Ignore the reviews. Think for yourself. In ALL things. Watch the show & I would also suggest in general... we should learn to compartmentalize our feelings. Just because 1 thing is bad, doesn't make the rest bad too. Judge a human as a human, judge their work as their work, judge the way they treat their lover & children as their family character. I may hate someone, but that doesn't mean they don't do a good job building homes. If they are the best... I'm buying a home from them. Life isn't all black & white.
