ABC Executives Regret Firing Roseanne, Fear ‘Connors’ Spin-Off Series will Flop

Breitbart ^

Executives at ABC now believe that their decision to fire Roseanne Barr from their revival of Roseanne was a mistake and the network’s spin-off series The Conners may flop, according to a report from Mail Online. Two senior executives at the network told the outlet that ABC President Channing Dungey’s decision to immediately fire the actress and cancel her show after she made racially charged comments about former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett was a “knee-jerk” decision that they would later regret. “We didn’t think it through properly. What Roseanne did was wrong but we shouldn’t have rushed to fire her....

I thought the plan was to move her character to a minor role on the show, to begin with. They should have stuck to that plan.

The R word resonates against any white person in the public sphere under any excuse actual racists can muster. Those that uphold and defend the racist slur, white privilege, as an example thereto.

The sciences claim humans are related to the ape. One percent differences supposedly in our DNA.
So what Roseanne said pertained to all people. While those who claim racism are actually the one's that are the racists in this case because they in that charge are stating they believe blacks are ape-like first. And that's why allusion to ape pertains to one race alone.

As to the shows, the Roseanne show always sucked. The revamp wasn't going to be any better. And the Connors is just an off-shoot of small screen producers agenda to dumb down American's with such drivel that is right down there with Two and a Half Men, and Big Bang Theory, and its off shoot, Young Sheldon.

Well then nothing's stopping them from hiring her back. They should do it!

She's dead . . . she O.D.'d on pain meds.

She's dead . . . she O.D.'d on pain meds.

Where did you hear that? I see nothing about it in the news.

Not Roseanne . . . her character on the sitcom. They wrote her out.

 

[zeroturbulence]

Well they always manage to bring back dead characters on tv shows anyway.

 

[Tommy379]

Not Roseanne . . . her character on the sitcom. They wrote her out.

They also killed off her husband in the last episode of the original series.

 

[BaptistBibleBeliever]

I don’t think they could afford her - she has them in a real bind

 

[Lillywolf]

I think it better for her that she never return. The show sucks and she sure doesn't need the money. Let the producers suffer the loss on both shows. At least the actors get paid to the end of their contract. Regardless if the Connors tanks.

John Goodman is still cast on the Connors so they didn't kill off Roseanne's husband at all. The show could survive solely because of support from the LGBTQ community. Sara Gilbert, the daughter character, is openly gay. And she had and maybe still has a place on a women's morning show too. If nothing else the LGBTQ could keep the show alive just as support for one of their own.

I’d like the Middle to come back - and Longmire.

No, seriously. If you watch the last episode of the Roseanne show, from the 90s. John Goodman's character is revealed to have died when he had the heart attack a season earlier. I know this, my mother made me watch every episode of that show.

Well since they brought Dan back they can bring Roseanne back.
I had to search out those old episodes. Sure enough, Dan died 21 years ago after his heart attack after a wedding.

I’d like the Middle to come back - and Longmire.

I really enjoyed Longmire. They didn't end that series any particular way. They just left it hanging as if the next season was going to be coming along. No major characters died, there was no closure to the show itself. Bummer.
I loved the location they chose. Beautiful. I thought it was suppose to be Wyoming where the Longmire series took place, but it was filmed in New Mexico.

 

[Tommy379]

I wish I could have had a proper ending to Jericho.

 

[Lillywolf]

That wasn't a long lived series either. Just two years. I wish writers would think of the fans when the powers that produce the show decide to call it quits. At least let there be closure to the show. Even if they have to re-do the season finale to make it a series finale prior to airing. Most shows are in the can before the first episode of the new season or the pilot itself airs.

It's just plain rude to call it quits without closing the story line properly.

The Conners ratings are a lot lower than Roseanne premiere

Entertainment Weekly ^

ABC’s Roseanne-without-Roseanne spin-off The Conners couldn’t come anywhere close to the blockbuster premiere rating of its predecessor, yet still had a strong number that led Tuesday night in the ratings. The debut airing delivered 10.5 million viewers and a 2.3 rating among adults 18-49. That’s down 55 percent from the premiere of Roseanne last spring, but was very much on par with Roseanne‘s finale and even managed to edge out NBC’s This Is Us for the night. When Roseanne returned on ABC earlier this year, the first episode delivered a staggering 18.2 million viewers and a 5.1 rating among adults...
