agree with power of TV point, but think it’s a bit broad to try and position as a reflection of culture wars. Rosanne was a HUGE show, plenty of viewers outside of Trump supporters tuned in. Nostalgia the driving factor.
problem is that we have no counterfactual. and is there any evidence there was some drive to get people to watch because there are characters who support trump?
It makes me really curious as to what was in the Blackish episode that didn’t air.
CNN ratings way down and deathly low. Roseanne will continue making large numbers while the media can only get high numbers in FAKE NEWS specials.
You’re aware the show is split into both parties! And the cast stated it was to help unite this country. So your rhetoric isn’t needed.
You’re reading way too much into politics being the motivation. People tuned in to Roseanne because they liked the show previously. If she talks politics all the time, they’ll tune right back out.
Not if they do it as they did last nights got which was to poke fun at both ‘sides’ and not be nasty like Will & Grace. I like that show but it gets tiresome
I didn’t watch it but your tweet gives me the impression that the attitudes of last night’s episode are like South Park. Both sides and their loyalists are game.
I’d say that fairly accurate. The reason I love SP is it’s and equal opportunity offender.
Ditto. Nobody’s safe there.
Please do not put me in the same category as Trump supporters because I watched a reboot of a show last night that I enjoyed when I was young...ick

Yes, Trump supporters, Republicans and Independents, don't want to be lumped into the same category as snowflake Democrats.
Ps I wonder if Mrs.resist believed Juanita Broderick, Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky!?
Yes, I believed them too. Thanks for the nickname, though.
Roseanne is a Trump supporter IRL. The show, in relation to politics, had a nice balance. It's a damn TV show, people need to settle down & enjoy it.
