Roseanne

Fired Roseanne

HAS ROSEANNE LEARNED A LESSON?

When it comes to putting her foot in her mouth – probably not. But she’s learned the hard way how much her selfindulgent tweets can hurt just about everyone she knows. All those people out of work overnight because of HER! We would have been happier if ABC had paused to think about it, and simply fired Roseanne and put the show on hold while they brainstorm a way to keep it going. This INSTANT COMDEMNATION is getting out of hand. Meanwhile, Roseanne is hiding out at her parents house in Salt Lake City and a paparazzi caught her on the phone crying.

Canceled Roseanne Roseanne Barr

ROSEANNE WAS A TICKING TIME BOMB

WE can’t help but wonder how Roseanne, who has always been proud of being “outspoken,” is reacting to ABC canceling her hit series. She must be IN SHOCK. It clearly never occurred to her that something like this might happen to the #1 sitcom. Will this jolt her into reevaluating herself? We feel awful for all her costars and the crew on the Roseanne show. Sara Gilbert worked SO hard to revive the show and she talked everyone into coming back. Roseanne’s self-indulgent moment of insanity on Twitter cost a lot of people a lot of money – and security. It’s tragic.

John Goodman Roseanne Weight

JOHN GOODMAN IS TWO THIRDS OF THE MAN HE USED TO BE

Nice to see that John Goodman is keeping off the 100 plus pounds he’s lost since the original Roseanne series went off the air. His character Dan Conner is a much healthier looking person now – because John not only walks more, but he works out, gave up alcohol and sticks to a Mediterranean diet. (We remember years ago when John would check into a hotel somewhere and binge – just drink all day and night and order pizzas.) His new look hasn’t impaired the show at all, and Roseanne is looking more glamorous this time around also…

HERE COMES ROSEANNE: TWENTY YEARS LATER

Next fall is going to feel like the 90’s revisited because not only is Will & Grace making a comeback, but now Roseanne – (and they had a larger cast!) – has managed to reassemble. Roseanne’s blue collar family and their economic struggle was a huge hit for nearly a decade, but it seems like nowadays reality shows like Here Comes Honey Boo Boo have taken their place. Frankly, we’re surprised that John Goodman is returning to TV and the family’s kids are now grown and will probably have kids of their own. Actually it’s kind of fun to imagine Goodman’s character Dan with a smart phone…

"Downwardly Mobile" John Goodman President Roseanne Roseanne Barr

ROSEANNE AND JOHN GOODMAN REUNITE IN A TRAILER PARK

The timing might be right for Roseanne to make a splash in the sitcom world again. Reality TV has proved that there’s a huge market for working class blue collar American humor and nobody does it better. Roseanne’s enlisted writers from her original Roseanne show (which was a hit from 1988 to 1997) for her new NBC pilot “Downwardly Mobile.” She plays the proprietor of a trailer park full of colorful characters and a new character was just added – Roseanne’s TV husband John Goodman. He’ll play an outspoken worker at the mobile home park. Hopefully this won’t interfere with her run for President….

Desperate Housewives Laurie Metcalf Matt Roth Roseanne Split The Patty Wagon

LAURIE METCALF’S HUSBAND MATT ROTH IS NOW FLIPPING BURGERS

Here’s an odd and convoluted piece of information. Laurie Metcalf (she’s most famous for playing Roseanne’s sister Jackie) has split with her husband Matt Roth (he appeared on both Roseanne and Desperate Housewives with Laurie as her husband.) Matt went off and started up his own food truck business called “The Patty Wagon.” He cooks up and serves gourmet grass-fed beef burgers (delicious!) while his new girlfriend takes the orders. The burgers have rave reviews.
