She is crass obnoxious and insulting so pulling her was a good thing. I do not like anyone like her and what she did to the National Anthem was a disgrace, I am not a member of any professional rioters or anything else, just a throughly disgusted american.
That is what many think made her funny Bill. I liked to watch the show but have said that I would never want a friend like her. Grabbing her crotch was just mirroring what the baseball players do all the time.

There's always a point when crass humour becomes disrespectful and scandalous at the point it ceases to be funny, it becomes shocking and horrible.

True Ruth and I think when baseball players do it it is just as crass. I know many liked it but I just thought she was very crude and its a shame as I think she has talent that didnt need that.

There's cause to be glad that the show is gone now, after Roseanne Barr's twitter remarks.

I am not a fan. She's a Socialist, after all. But why should she be singled out?? There are many stars on TV right now who have said much worse things and do it on every show, not just a one-time Twitter post. I guess that 'selective outrage' just doesn't sit well with me.

I'm not sure what you are talking about here. On her show or during stand up I never heard anything horrible.

Yes, I definitely see your point.

I really believed that the FOX network would pick her up. I mean it takes time to write and produce these shows and they’d have to be careful about infringing on trade mark rights but she looks like money in the bank within a certain segment of society.

There probably were rights that ABC retained, and since it wanted to rework the show and give it a new try, Fox probably was shut out. That's just a guess, tho.

What we know (although it was played down by the media during the controversy) is that Roseanne is very strongly opposed to anti-Semitism. And why not?

Consider who the object of her ire (and the unfortunate joke) was and you'll get the fuller picture of this incipient.

I just realized I didn't say what I thought. I may watch it if I have time, but not likely. I don't watch much television anymore
