Why the hell are they bringing back Roseanne

[Shell B]

I don't give a fuck what her political views are. She was funny. The show was funny. I'd watch it again.

Man I love Roseanne. I could watch that show all day. It's one of the only sitcoms (until shows like the Office came around) that felt real. It's one of the only shows with a laugh track that I can stomach.

As a Brit I've never seen it lol.

As long as it's better than Seinfeld and Friends lol. Pretty low bar for me! Especially Friends. They don't even feel like comedians they just feel like actors reading lines with a laugh track at things that aren't even funny!

Big Bang theory is watchable sometimes, entirely because of Sheldon who is awesome and isn't just hilarious but he actually says things that make sense.

That show was fucking stupid, not to mention she is a orange asshat supporter. I hope the reboot flops. I fucking HATE that shitty show.

Things could be worse.


They could be bringing back ABBA.

[Edwardo Piet]

God. I'd rather listen to fucking mice scurry up my drainpipes than fucking ABBA..... CRINGEEEEEEEE! At least mice aren't cheesy. Okay they are in a sense, sorry, bad example.

I never found any of those three shows funny (especially Big Bang Theory jesus fucking christ that show is awful). But the creator of Seinfeld, Larry David, made another show called Curb Your Enthusiasm, which I think is ten times funnier.

This all goes back to our great "steak debate". I do get it. I am just bitching here.

Tom Selleck was Magnum P.I. and he is a voting republican too. I loved that show. I even like Walker Texas Ranger, but no, I do not like Rosanne, or Tom or Chuck's political views. 

I like the Facts Of Life sitcom, but the actress who plays Blair is a evangelical. 

I simply don't like that show, in the same way I like ABBA and others here don't like ABBA.

[Aegon]

Maybe they want to appeal to the 35% of WLB-loving shitheads who are out there?

I mean, even if Roseanne Barr herself was a bleeding heart liberal who despised Trump... it would still make sense to have the character support him.

Driver for all TV shows is commercial ad revenue.

If they're making money it will stay on TV.

Bingo lolly.  Any question that starts out, 'Why are they...', the answer is nearly always, 'Money.'
