Interesting. 'Roseanne' Cancellation Aftermath: Who Gets Paid?

Can ‘Roseanne’ Continue Without Its Star? “Possible But Not Probable” (I pulled that quote because I've seen comments about how Roseanne owns the show. She doesn't.)

Crosspost: Roseanne Barr Reacts to Roseanne Cancellation: 'Don't Feel Sorry for Me' There isn't an eyeroll strong enough. Another: Roseanne Barr Returns to Twitter: ‘Don’t Feel Sorry For Me’

Roseanne Barr Reacts to Roseanne Cancellation: 'Don't Feel Sorry for Me' Nobody feels sorry for you, dipshit.

Reruns of the original being pulled from three channels as well.

I guess regular folk aren't able to start episode threads anymore? Sorry to skip right to episode 8 (tried to start a thread, but no...) but the GOB and Tony Wonder plot was the only one I cared about, and if they really killed off Tony like that and there's not some kind of twist, I'm going to be pissed. Or rather, even more apathetic about the whole thing, which just seemed so tired. Yes, everyone looked old, but besides that, the season so far just felt...tired.

CBS Television Studios issues statement “Pauley Perrette had a terrific run on NCIS and we are all going to miss her. Over a year ago, Pauley came to us with a workplace concern. We took the matter seriously and worked with her to find a resolution. We are committed to a safe work environment on all our shows.”

How do you know it was neither of them? It only takes one person to refuse to shoot the scene with the other (when The Good Wife pulled their shenanigans for the final Alicia-Kalinda scene, Archie Panjabi made it clear she was willing to do the scene and it wasn't her call to shoot it that way), and in this case, one person has a lot more power than the other.

I honestly don't understand why they wrote David as stupid enough to accept a drink from Cyrus. They could have had Cyrus come up behind him and inject him with something. Going to meet him would still have been stupid, but it wouldn't have been as stupid as going to meet him AND accepting a drink. Or they could have had Cyrus ambush him at home and inject him. If they wanted to kill David, fine. But having it unfold that way was really terrible writing. If that was cut for time, it's egregious. Huck arriving to torture Cyrus was sorely needed for some kind of justice in the end. It's bad enough Jake got off too easily. There had to be 10 seconds elsewhere they could have cut.

According to TV Line:

The credited writer, Chris Ambrose, worked on Bones as well, though in the 2nd and 3rd seasons. By the time they did the Amish episode in the 5th season, he'd moved on and was in his second season on Law & Order: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0024386/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 Would he have really been watching his old show after he left it, then brazenly have stolen the plot years later? Did someone else in the writer's room pitch it, and he just happened to be the one assigned to write it? Was it a story they'd discussed doing in the second and third seasons when he was around, but didn't get around to until after he left, and, intentionally or unintentionally, he pitched it to this show? Would be fascinating to see what happened, though unlikely we'll get a straight answer. The showrunner's statement is more than I would have expected.

Yeah, why do they keep doing plots with old characters when they can't get the original actors? It's really distracting when half return and half don't. They couldn't have come up with a Bobbi-related plot that didn't require Grace's father and whatever Geena Davis/Mary McCormack's character was? The ending of the Drew/Jack plot was predictable from the start, especially since we saw the same thing in Fagmalion all those years ago. Don't be the first guy dated by someone coming out of the closet--it's certainly real and makes sense, but we've been here. The show's just so tired.

Williams was hired by Carsey/Werner to write a sitcom about a working class Midwestern family where one of the parents worked in a plastics factory (as his father did in real life; hence Roseanne's job in season one), which was then merged with Roseanne's persona. I agree that a co-creator credit for each of them would have made sense, but unfortunately, the Writers Guild's rules said otherwise. So he got the creator credit for the show and she got "Based on a character created by." A few years later, Home Improvement was built around Tim Allen's standup persona. He isn't one of the three credited creators of the show.

Yes, Lanford is in Illinois, but that doesn't change the fact that it's still based on a town in Indiana. They just moved their fictional version one state over, so, yeah, it would make sense that they'd make references to Illinois instead of Indiana.

Lanford is based, or inspired by, Evansville, Indiana, the hometown of show creator Matt Williams (though of course, once Roseanne forced him out, and before, she claimed she really created the show and it was all about her). The establishing shots of the house, and some other "Lanford" buildings, are from real places in Evansville.

Jerry O'Connell has been cast as Sheldon's brother George (the adult version, obviously).

ACS Versace: Fact-checking the Season Finale Versace: Everything We Know About Andrew Cunanan’s Suicide

True, Potter looks like a wax figure now. If you're a lazy writer looking to trash the character (who could previously afford to hire Grace to decorate his apartment and who she didn't seem to have any issues with before), creepy, crazy-eyed Cheyenne is certainly more convincing as a shallow gym queen.

Hated the Michael retcon. Having him as a great One That Got Away was a nicely human, poignant touch the first time around. Turning him into a manipulative loser is such a cheap copout. Bleh. (Plus Original Michael was hotter. Not surprising he didn't come back considering Chris Potter's discomfort when he was on Queer as Folk though.) The cake plot was just uncomfortable, not funny.

Vanity Fair: How Andrew Cunanan’s Father Figured Into the Murderer’s “Breaking Point” The Assassination of Gianni Versace: Fact-checking Episode 8

Howard conceded the fight at the end of the last episode. "But we're calling him Michael!" "I'm not going to fight her. That kid's head was the size of a cantaloupe."

The Assassination of Gianni Versace: Fact-checking Episode 7, ‘Ascent’ How Donatella Versace Overcame Her Demons and Stepped Out From Her Brother’s Shadow

So basically "Chimera" from Season 7, moved from Vermont to Connecticut, right down to the sheriff's wife trying to get revenge on her cheating husband being the culprit. Familiar indeed.

Interview with Aline Brosh McKenna post-finale Discusses the choices of the past few episodes, but this jumped out at me the most: I knew they'd discussed pitching a certain number of seasons from the start, though I remembered it incorrectly as 5. Now it absolutely has to be renewed. We need that last season. Another that covers many of the same points.
