Rebooting Roseanne
I've never liked Roseanne, regardless of her politics. But I still think it was a stupid move to cancel her show because of her politics. Canceling the Roseann
Show cost ABC a bundle of money. Not only in lost revenue from
sponsors,
but in the fact that the hundreds of people employed to do the show
all have contracts forcing them to pay them for the entire 13 show
run, whether or not it goes. So now they rebooted
the
show--without Roseann, of course. they want to reboot it with one of
the other characters in the title role, They polled the people
involved,
and they're mostly all interested. My question is this: Will it last
beyond
two or three episodes before they find out of won't work? (It
didn’t).
ABC made a big mistake in canceling the show because of Roseann's
silly Tweets, because she was acting like a Trump supporter. I guess
canceling it was a "knee-jerk response" that they did
before they thought about it, and
now
they're trying frantically to recoup. I doubt seriously if it's going
to work. Why? Because everybody knows who Roseann is. Who knows who
that other gal is? I certainly don't, especially since I don't watch
that show, anyway.
I still think it was a stupid move to cancel it because of her
perceived politics. Just as it was a stupid move to cancel "Last
Man standing" because of the perceived politics of it's star.
That
show was taken up by another channel and is a ratings leader.
