Isn't Sara Gilbert pretty far left?

She's an EXECUTIVE PRODUCER of the show. Money does indeed talk.duff wrote: ↑Tue May 29, 2018 2:28 pmIsn't Sara Gilbert pretty far left?

Archie was endearing to America because everybody had an Archie Bunker in their extended family. Also, he was but a character played by Carroll O'Connor, who managed to infuse humanity into the archetypal character.Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Tue May 29, 2018 2:33 pm Wanda Sykes was the head writer up until this morning.
ETA - There is absolutely something to say about the lack of shows "speaking to" the Venn diagram of folks that are middle class/blue collar/MAGA Trumpers. And there's a way to go about it where you have kind of an Archie Bunker type character... Out of touch with the changes going on in America, stubborn, slightly offensive (to some), but endearing overall.
I stopped watching original Roseanne after 3 or 4 seasons because I can't stand her voice and the plot lines were getting loopy. And I never even considered watching this pile of shit. So I don't know if that's how they were using her.
But there's a show out there that someone could cash in on, if they can hold their nose long enough to pull it off.

I think that story can definitely be told again, btw.
Sad to say, but I think a lot of those folks are proud to have a Roseanne in their extended family.Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Tue May 29, 2018 3:41 pm I think it says a lot that almost 20M people were tuning into this show. Like it or not, a lot of people are finding out with Trump that they have a Roseanne in their extended family.

Freelancers will take almost any job. It's how porno films get made.
Fox already opted to revive "Last Man Standing" with Tim Allen a couple weeks ago after a year off television, acknowledging the success of "Roseanne" as part of the reason.Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Tue May 29, 2018 2:14 pm Keep in mind, that show isn't owned by ABC.

And, with the "consulting producer" title, she gets closer to membership (or maintaining her membership) in the Producers' Guild of America and is not required to write any scripts for the show, but work solely in a "punch up" role. Getting some sort of "producer" credit like this (or co-executive producer, etc.) is essentially a promotion when someone is a writer but there is no traditional place to move up to.

Silly to give the professional victims on the right any chance to flex their ability to try and compare things that have nothing to do with each other -- like a personal insult (Bee) vs. blatant racism (Barr) -- to further their shitty agendas.
Third rail, or just towards women? Because I’ve referred to her father and her brothers as cunts many a times, including here.Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Thu May 31, 2018 2:52 pm Pretty ridiculous to call anyone a cunt (at least in America.)
That's a third rail word for most of the country. And not just MAGA people.
Not from what women have told me. It's never said as anything less than a vicious insult.L-Jam3 wrote: ↑Thu May 31, 2018 4:03 pmThird rail, or just towards women?

And can’t women, especially comedians, call other women cunts? Sort of how black comedians can call other blacks the n-bomb?

Again, mileage absolutely varies on this, but I'd agree with Pruitt... It's considered by many women to be roughly equivalent to the n word or the f word for homosexuals.
