Might be unpopular, but she wasn't bad for the show in any direct way. It's an ensemble show, and she was very funny in it alongside the rest of the cast

Obviously what she said outside the show was unacceptable and she had to be fired. And she's said a lot more stupid things since.

But credit where credit is due, she handled being fired in the best way, pushing to ensure the show and remaining cast could keep going. I at least respect her actions, even if I can't respect her for what she says publicly about political issues

Ha, no. She had zero impact on the new show.

I am aware that Lemmy hates nuance, but that doesn't change the facts.

Roseanne Barr worked with Tom Werner to create an agreement that would allow them to create the spinoff and save 200 jobs of beloved cast and crew, without Barr's financial participation.

Feel free to live in a fantasy world, but things aren't as black and white as you want to believe

Not fantasy. I'm very connected to it. She didn't do shit.

Keep tryin' chump.
