1. kimmel should tell Barr to go on russian Tv....screw her....

no quarter should be given to trump apologists EVER

[Docreed2003]

2. She's freaking nuts...

Hope her reboot is an epic fail!

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

3. This interview was a total whitewash

Roseanne has done more than merely support Trump. She's pushed the nuttiest of conspiracy theories, from Pizzagate to a debunked smear that Fareed Zakaria said he wanted to rape white women (because he's one of them muzzzlims, you know).

Her Twitter feed over the past two years has been a clearinghouse for bigotry, full of retweets of lies and idiocy from Alex Jones, Roger Stone and James Woods. This is in addition to rampant racism and transphobia on Barr's part.

It got so bad, ABC had her scrub the account before the show's launch.

Now she's trying to claim she's a sensible middle-of-the-roader and everyone else went left. And Goodman acted like she was nothing more than your typical right-leaning family member.

It's utter bullshit and ABC is covering for her. Fuck Kimmel for going along with it. And fuck Goodman, Gilbert and Metcalf for helping this bigot to make a comeback.

[deurbano]

10. What HAPPENED to her? Does she have dementia? (I mean, seriously.)

Maybe Metcalf, Goodman and Gilbert are still grateful for the start they got with the show? But we certainly don't need any more 'normalizing' of that grotesque travesty occupying the White House or the pathetic deplorables who support him.

I haven't followed her at all and had no idea (until recently) that she'd gone so dark.

[JI7]

15. And she tried to cover by saying "do you want pence" ?

Yet she supported trump when he picked pence.

She tried to make it like she was just opposed to removing him because pence would be worse.

[mucifer]

25. I wish he called her on that.

[dem4decades]

4. Just because she plays a dope on TV she doesn't have to be one in life.

But she is.

[tonyt53]

7. Oh, playing on just on TV, she isn't.

[meadowlark5]

5. She should keep her pie hole shut or her show will go the way of

Last Man Standing. All of the deplorables loved that show and claimed it was taken off the air because it was pro trump and conservative. No. It's because deplorables are not a big enough, target demographic and the ratings were bad.

Roseanne could make the same mistake and off goes her show. It will only be successful if it's handled like All in the Family. Opposing views but the bigot and idiot is shown glaringly how bigoted and idiotic they are. Not sure the Roseanne show will do that.

[LisaM]

24. I watched "Last Man Standing" when it first started, then it was like someone flipped a switch.

I always vaguely knew Tim Allen was conservative, but I didn't ever see it in his work (not "Home Improvement" and definitely not in the Santa Clause movies, which I like). But then suddenly he started peppering the show with caustic (and unfunny) remarks about Obama, and featuring the daughter who dressed in camo and liked to shoot guns. It was weird. I liked the show at first and then I had to stop watching it.

[Thekaspervote]

27. Never did like him

He’s reformed ya know.. into a creepy slime just like the rest of the conservative bat shit crazy’s

[WhiteTara]

28. she has a show?

well, who cares? Her voice sounds like broken bottles rubbing together.

[TheDebbieDee]

6. PERFORMANCE ART? Trying to get free

Publicity for her new POS show?

[tonyt53]

8. With NASCAR TV viewership dropping, this show is where those viewers are going.

[Farmer-Rick]

9. I never realized what an idiot she is

I use to find her show funny and enjoyed the great actors she surrounded herself with. But my better half hated her. She never gave me a logical reason why she disliked Roseanne, so I watched her show anyway.

Now, you couldn't pay me to watch her, despite having some good actors on her show. I should have listen to my wife in the first place.

[LenaBaby61]

11. Glad that I never bothered ...

Watching her show back in the 1990's and since she's bat shit crazy now, and a tRump-humper, I surely won't be watching her show now.

[LovingA2andMI]

12. Wanna To Make Rosanne STFU....

#BoycottWatchingRosanne2.0

That is the only way to do it is make the ratings for this Second Installment of her "Series" FAIL.

[niyad]

13. I had not realized that she has lost her mind. will not be watching the new show.

[area51]

14. Roseanne, if anyone needs to f-ing "zip their lip",

it was you in 1990, when you massacred the national anthem ....

[SunSeeker]

16. Now THAT is disrespecting the national anthem.

Kneeling during it is not.

[a kennedy]

17. Got that right.......ugh, she is so annoying.

[3catwoman3]

18. She is as crude, crass, common, coarse and

...contemptible as Trump.

She should keep her own fucking lip zipped.

[Saviolo]

19. Watch John Goodman do his best to stay out of it.

Though he did manage to get one little poke in at Roseanne, there!

I love Goodman, and based on the company he keeps (Aaron Sorkin, most notably, in two of his shows), I feel like he must have at least left-of-centre leanings. But I don't 100% know.

[Downtown Hound]

20. This woman's moment passed a long time ago

She's a has been trying to stay relevant.

I've been watching the new X Files episodes, and while a few of them are very good, overall the show just doesn't pack the same punch that it did in the 90's. It feels old and worn out, and I find I no longer care about what's really happening in it. I really don't care about what 'the truth" is. They've switched it up and played so many games with it that it's kind of like, "whatever" at this point.

If I was a betting man, I would bet that the same thing will happen to Roseanne. It was a formula that worked great for its time, but I bet that modern audiences will have a hard time relating to it. I know that I personally will not watch any show that portrays Trumpism as being normal, and I highly doubt I'm alone. That's the reality of America today.

[suffragette]

21. Pence would not be there if not for Trump. Supporting Trump supported Pence. Simple response.

Wish Kimmel would have said it.

[LiberalLovinLug]

22. The sick part of her new show is that it promotes a false equivalency

that BOTH sides are right, and both are wrong. That we should all just get along. One problem with that....one side stole the majority of power with the help of an enemy foreign government, and controls every pillar of government plus a stolen SCOTUS seat. THEN you turn to the victim and say "you mad bro?"

Its like a sibling cheats by sneaking into their sisters room and steals all their Halloween candy, and then says, 'why are you so mad? Lets just both be civil. Lets have a show where we both have points to make equally, but I get to keep all the candy, oh, and I get paid more as well, and oh, also have final say in every scene.

[BobTheSubgenius]

23. I wonder if her rhetoric is signicantly overblown as compensation.

Maybe she's trying to get forgiveness from those who found her (admittedly grotesque) version of the anthem before a ball game to be a form of desecration.

For the record, I found that rendition a decision that was more than just very questionable, but I viewed it as a failed joke.

26. You first you fkg stupid bitch
