I used to like the real show. I can't bring myself to watch now because Roseanne is a vocal Trump supporter and her twitter is full of a lot of anti-Muslim crap and supporting conspiracies like pizza gate. She is an awful person and it makes me sad because I am curious to know what happened to Darlene and all that. And hey, Trump called her to congratulate her on the show's ratings. linkSo yeah, no way will I ever watch.

I wanted to love it but I just didn't. Just like girl meets world, fuller house it was trying too hard to be the original instead of just letting the show flow naturally.

She is the antithesis of who the original Roseanne was and she's twisting it all up now. She is at crazy BSC levels on twitter. I can't in good conscience support her show now. Which is too bad because original Roseanne was great.

Which is too bad because original Roseanne was great. Yep. And just in the first two episodes that aired in addition to Trump vs. Dems they also touched on "my body my choice," gender-bending with a boy wearing girl's clothes, interracial families, taking a knee during the national anthem, gun issues, healthcare...I think those were the big cultural and political issues. Yet we're supposed to believe she's tolerant and accepting despite being a Trump supporter because of these things even though supporting Trump is in opposition of supporting many of these causes/populations/issues. It felt very much like "See! I have a black family member so I can't be racist even though I voted for Trump!"

Original Roseanne would have been accepting of all of those issues, so maybe she thought she was trying to tie in who the character used to be with who she is as a real person now. Who knows. It's all so weird to me. At first I wondered how the cast all agreed to do this with her, knowing who she is now (especially Sara Gilbert) but then remembered...money talks.

Which is too bad because original Roseanne was great. She has called the Parkland kids crisis actors. She is awful. Yeah I don't know what happened to her, but it wasn't good. I would've rather she stayed on her commune in Hawaii and kept quiet.

And Roseanne herself is a straight-up terrible person. So it's a fuck no for me.

What I don't understand about the anti-semitic stuff is she is also super Jewish and pro-Isreal.

She also has a condition that will make her eventually go blind. She is a fascinating and terrifying person.

Ok, so maybe I won't give it a second shit. I can't support someone like this, which sucks because I really like the rest of the cast.

I watched the first episode, as it was broken up on Hulu, so just the first half hour. Are they basically ignoring the last season. Did they never win the lottery in this version of the show?

I will say this thread is giving me a lot of food for thought about whether or not to watch this show. I don't follow Roseanne on any sort of social media and wasn't aware of all of these issues. I'm glad I've been made aware and don't think I'll be watching anymore.

There is an editorial in today’s New York Times about this but Roxane Gay. It’s really good. www.nytimes.com/2018/03/29/opinion/roseanne-reboot-trump.html“But I could not set aside what I know of Roseanne Barr and how toxic and dangerous her current public persona is. I could not overlook how the Conner family came together to support Mark as he was bullied at school for his gender presentation, after voting for a president who actively works against the transgender community. They voted for a president who doesn’t think the black life of their granddaughter matters. They act as if love can protect the most vulnerable members of their family from the repercussions of their political choices. It cannot. This fictional family, and the show’s very real creator, are further normalizing Trump and his warped, harmful political ideologies. There are times when we can consume problematic pop culture, but this is not one of those times. I saw the first two episodes of the “Roseanne” reboot, but that’s all I am going to watch. It’s a small line to draw, but it’s a start.” I was just coming here to post this. It's an excellent piece.
