Did anybody watch the Roseanne re-boot that aired last night?
I'm a huge Roseanne fan. Grew up on it, re-watched every episode with my wife when we first got together, wrote part of David and Darlene's vows into our own wedding vows... so you can understand our concern when it was announced that Roseanne's character has re-emerged as a Trump supporter.
In the first episode, I don't understand why Roseanne is made to look so stupid. It's funny because a lot of the stupidity that she says on the show echoes right-wing commentary, but it definitely makes the character of Roseanne look uninformed, and I'm not sure if that was her intention. Maybe she's too nuts these days to understand how negative her portrayal is? I'm not sure.
My wife is pretty annoyed that Roseanne has a black grandchild. This seems like a good way to avoid discussing racial issues for the rest of the show, which is sad. Right wingers have such massive problems with minorities, so it's a shame this show will seemingly gloss over this issue.
Apparently Trump phoned Roseanne to congratulate her last night... It's hilarious to me that Trump and Roseanne BOTH seemingly fail to understand how critical this new show is of Trump country.
