ABC had the top-rated show on television — for eight weeks, anyway — until its Roseanne revival imploded after its star, Roseanne Barr, sent a racist tweet.

The show’s planned second season was cancelled, throwing a wrench into the network’s fall plans, and effectively ending Barr’s prime-time career.

Anyone else think that Roseanne got and/or will get something for The Conners? I find it hard to believe she would walk away with nothing allowing her IP to continue making cash for others. Either way, I hope the new show does well. I liked the characters, even Rosie, and it was nice to see them again after 20 years.

Watching some of the original Roseanne's makes me sad the character is likely going to be killed off. As much as the character and actor are intertwined they are separate and Rosie (the character) deserves a better fate.

So I would like to offer the writers an alternate solution to her absence from the series ... she decided she had to MAGA and went to DC to speak her mind ... she got on Faux News and so impressed Trump he hired her and now she works in the West Wing ... and fits right in as Sarah Huckabee Sanders replacement. And if the show needs to explain her continued absence after 2020 they could have her getting a promotion to a higher level of the US government ... somewhere in the Kremlin.
