I have been hooked on watching old Johnny Carson videos lately...when Dangerfield was on his show, it was just comedy gold.

Watching the professional way Carson went about his business, contrasted with Fallon slurping on every single guest he has on his show...late night has fell a long way.

I enjoyed Jessica Jones S02, despite its serious pacing issues.

Nope, she posted the joke. It wasn't a RT.

It's a shame Roseanne the person is such a disgusting racist person. I love her show and the characters she helped create but this reboot was tough to watch knowing what a moron she is in real life. The reboot tackled the political issues so awkwardly when the original run handled them with such forward-thinking grace. I don't know how much of that was the writing and how much was my knowledge of her personal beliefs.

Now it's time to pretend like the reboot, like season 9, never happened.

Feel bad for the rest of the cast, but man did she go over the line.

The cast and crew knew what they were getting into. It wasn't like she suddenly started acting like this.

I guess the writers (Wanda Sykes, Norm MacDonald, Whitney Cummings to name a few) thought they could reign her in. Sykes and Cummings ended up quitting. I don't know about Norm.

This had the potential to be wildly successful...I mean FFS how hard is it to just keep your damn mouth shut? Even if you truly believe this stuff. Good lord.

It was wildly successful. The premiere had huge ratings and after that the ratings settled around 10.5 million people per episode.

I reckon the cast and crew knew what they signed up for considering nearly cross the lines many a time on twitter.

Wanda Sykes said she wouldn’t return to the show following the tweet before ABC cancelled it.

Rosanne said her children actually shut down her Twitter account a few months ago, when the reboot was gearing up. But she recently fired it back up, and here we are.

The show will likely end the season as the third highest-rated show on TV, behind Sunday Night Football and This Is Us. She was the central feature of the recent ABC up fronts, and promised to be a cornerstone of ABCs programming for the next several years. Canceling this show is not a small deal.

That's the thing here. She has a long, long history of saying stuff equal to and worse than the tweet.

Ok to work with her despite her racist past, yet now its a problem?

It's a problem now because she's saying that stuff not as a free agent but as the 'new' face of the network in general, and in particular probably 200 cast and crew who are more or less immediately unemployed.

That's just how the entertainment industry works. It's fine to work with someone until it isn't, so long as that person can bring the bacon. Exhibit A: Mr Harvey Weinstein. I've said many times in the various discussions that I - as a lowly desk rabbit - had people telling me first-hand accounts of his awfulness twenty years ago. But he was a kingmaker, so people let it slide. It's gross, but that's the deal.

Does anything good come out of Twitter? Serious question. I don't get it.

Before the "you are equating Trump hate with racism you Trump lover" responses, but it is interesting to see this come at the same time Keith Olbermann is being brought back as a face of ESPN.

Hmmm... odd.

As for the "They already knew who she was..." comment. How many times did we hear that Trump would calm down? He'll calm down once he locks up the nomination, he'll calm down once he's in office, he'll calm down with *insert cabinet member here that is no longer in the cabinet* by his side, etc. He has since refused to stop his BS and be proud of it.

I'm sure the people at ABC figured, "Ya know.... if we throw millions of dollars her way (and of course pocket even more for ourselves from this), she'll calm down and toe the line". They were apparently wrong and are correcting it.
