Only three days after ABC fired Roseanne for a racist tweet and then canceled her show, they are now considering keeping the show on the air, but there’s something extremely wrong with what they want to do. They want to air the show without Roseanne. Instead, they want to focus on her daughter, Darlene. Darlene is not the draw here; Roseanne and hubby are. Some are saying the network wanted to get rid of Roseanne for financial reasons as well. You mean, you have the number one rated show out there that is a cash cow and you don’t want to pay the star that made the show? ABC deserves to go broke and is doing a fine job of it.
Variety magazine is saying that insiders at ABC are reporting that the head honchos want to re-brand “Roseanne” by eliminating Barr’s character and refocusing the plot on the character’s daughter, Darlene. They also cautioned that reviving “Roseanne” could stir up additional drama for the network. However, Roseanne Barr has a contract with the network and if they go on without her, they have to buy her out. “One big problem to overcome is the fact that Barr has a significant financial interest in the series, and there is concern that a new iteration that would benefit her financially would be a non-starter for everyone involved,” Variety noted.
Fox should buy out the contract and entice Roseanne and company over to their network. If Bill Maher can get away with comparing President Trump to an orangutan and not get fired, then Roseanne should be forgiven and get to run with her hit show. The truly ironic part of all this is the reason that ABC wants so desperately to bring “Roseanne” back to life is that they owe a ton of money to the show’s actors, writers and producers. It’s all contractually obligated. “Key actors are said to have a minimum 10-episode guarantee for Season 2, which had an initial order of 13 episodes,” Variety reported. “The highest echelon of writers and producers also have some minimum episodic guarantees.” Oh, this is getting good.
What ABC doesn’t get is if they try this, the ratings could plummet because less people will likely watch it. The show will have lost its appeal to the common viewer out there and could be just another liberal social justice lecture. Many fans are already vowing to boycott ABC over their double standards and blatant hypocrisy.
Black political commentator Larry Elder is arguing that Barr’s “racist” remark about former President Obama’s senior adviser, Valerie Jarrett, wasn’t actually racist, let alone worthy of her show being canceled. Sure, it was a bad joke, but Roseanne says she didn’t even know Jarrett was black. Once again, Bill Maher comes to mind. In a tweet posted Wednesday, Elder noted that HBO’s liberal comedian Bill Maher, who is the host of the HBO talk show “Real Time with Bill Maher,” once suggested President Trump is “the spawn of his mother having s*x with an orangutan.” And he’s called Trump an ape many times.
In fact, during Maher’s opening monologue yesterday, he said that he had to do another segment of “Explaining Jokes to Idiots” and pointed out that there were four “key facts” that made his ape jokes different than Barr’s tweet. “One, Trump is an orangutan,” Maher snarked. “Two, white people have not been subjected to a racist trope comparing them to apes for hundreds of years.” Maher’s third explanation was that his joke was in response to Trump’s 2013 accusations that President Obama was not born in America and called for the release of the president’s birth certificate. Maher offered Trump $5 million to provide his own birth certificate, which he did. Maher wouldn’t pay up and Trump sued him for it. “And four, I’ve already been fired by ABC,” Maher said, referring to his “Politically Incorrect” program, which aired from 1993 to 2002.
HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” remains on the air despite political jokes that are vilely aimed at President Trump and his daughter Ivanka. “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee,” a late-night TBS show whose host who described the President’s daughter as a “feckless c**t” this week is also still on the air. MSNBC’s Joy Reid who pushed 9/11 as a government conspiracy, homophobic slurs and a wide range of other horrid behavior, apologized and is also still on the air. But Roseanne Barr makes an ill-considered joke that Maher has already made and she is fired and shunned for it after she apologizes. The only difference here is that Roseanne went after someone on the left. “@therealroseanne makes the same joke about Obama aide Valerie Jarrett–an
