I agree but I'm also bummed. The reboot has ranged from good to fantastic, and the modern Conner family was an awesome venue for the writers and performers to explore the ideas that seem to be tearing our country apart.
But the network-approved normalization of racism outweighs all that stuff, so I gotta side with ABC on this one.

Yep. I'm especially bummed for Sara Gilbert, who I guess produces The View? But she was fantastic in the reboot and I hope she starts acting more again.

And I share a last name with her. There aren't really any other famous Barrs other than Anthony and then the kicker brothers of the 80's (different spelling).
So people often hear my name and try to jokingly associate me with her. It is really a lot of fun.

Knowing where Roseanne herself is "coming from" (somewhere in outer space), the afore-mentioned "modern" values came off as simply disingenuous to me. I don't buy Roseanne as a "sensible" conservative to Jackie's "wackiest of the wacky" liberal. Or including a black grandchild just to prove that she's not racist. The whole thing made me uncomfortable.
