I agree that it's pretty much too late for an apology. However, there is a bigger problem. She said those things in the first place. Why does she feel justified in saying those things in the first place? And why defend Roseanne in the first place?

I don't know about that, $$$ can have a very loud, compelling voice.


Personally, I couldn't care less, never watched her the first time around either, find her annoying, not entertaining.

same "lady" that purposely butchered the national anthem, then grabbed her crotch and spit upon finishing...and yet President Imbecile and his Trumplings love her, not surprising in the least.

Be straight about this -- even folks who thought Roseanne's comments were out of line didn't think ABC would cancel the show.

There was not a huge outrage or call for the show to be cancelled. ABC took the initiative.

So don't pretend the consequences came out of some big movement.

It was all ABC.

This is what floors me. This woman was so disrespectful to the anthem, the tradition of singing the National Anthem at a ball game and somehow she has become some revered symbol of good and right in the country.

Unbelievable.

I didn't think they'd cancel the show, especially with all the money they'll be losing out on. But cmon Roseanne, you gotta be smarter than that! Especially when she has a bullseye target on her back for being right-wing openly and being super successful. Really dumb on her part.

This was Bill Mahr's statement about the Lawsuit .....

After Trump sued, Maher fired back on his HBO show, Real Time.

"This is known as parody, and it's a form of something we in the comedy business call a joke," Maher said. "Just like we're the gun country, we're the joke country. We love our free speech and we love celebrities getting taken down a peg. So Don, just suck it up like everybody else."



Bill Mahr should have used the Standard Leftist Defense.

It's only a JOKE, when a Leftist tells is ...... otherwise, it's defamation and you must be FIRED for it.

Anyone want to provide a list of the nightly/daily "jokes" about Donald Trump and every member of his family?
Roseanne was dumb to say such a thing - she should know the "rules". Leftists can say, or write anything the choose about a Conservative, even if that Conservative is the President of the USA or his family.
In other words - First Amendment Rights for ME and not for Thee ..... based on Leftist Politics.

A Conservative will lose their job if they dare to say anything about a Leftist - even if they are Comedians.
I always think it's a Joke when a business cuts off it's nose to spite it's face. The NFL is reaping the rewards of that.

Roseanne has been averaging a 5.5 rating among adults 18-49 and 19.3 million viewers with live-plus-three day lifts. With a full week of time-shifting, those numbers climb to a 6.4 rating in the key demo and 22.1 million viewers. Either way, Roseanne is the highest-rated and most-watched series of the broadcast season, eclipsing NBC's This Is Us and CBS' Big Bang Theory — which had been in a heated battle for top status. ~.

Roseanne goes to Mexico to save money on that knee operation and doesn't pull through. So sad.

Wanda is the FEMA administrator that Dan has to keep meeting with for approvals on the dry wall work he's done after the floods. Do to grief, family objection, they decide just to keep company until he needs bypass surgery and they marry to get on her government insurance.

Wanda lost her husband in a tragic accident. (Crushed by a beer vat?) They empathize on the problems of looking out after grown kids.

I absolutely love John Goodman. He's the heart of the show for me. Hope they find a series that he's willing to do. I don't are what it is, I'd watch anything with him in it.
