So, a few years back, our “dear leader” was referred to as DBO. That would make our current president DDT—which seems like it works.

Oh that’s old news. He did that before he found the cure for cancer. Or was it after he raised the dead? Anyway our dead leader is infallible and can do no wrong don’t cha know! I’m trying to figure how it fits in with the fact that a woman has been trying to press charges for years that Trump and a rich buddy of his raped her when she was 15 y.o. Is that the one from Epstein's house? I thought she was 13? Could be another girl though. Wouldn't surprise me.

Why do so many threads end up all about Gia's feelings. I often forget the original topic. In any event, I kind of liked it. I laughed out loud a few times and that's always good. So much reminded me of my childhood. The bi-level carpeting, knick knacks, breakfast table in the kitchen, etc. Plus I love the raunchiness. The political banter will give them a lot of material. I could do without it but it's pretty relevant right now. Things like this drive me crazy. I mean, I have knick knacks, but they are in order! I also cringe while watching The Middle. How have those people not updated those horrendous pillar like things?

Is he doing that from Mar a Lago? Why haven’t the mainstream news outlets picked this up? That would be fucking amazing, and worthy of praise.

Why aren't they parading them around at his rallies and having them thank him for being freed!? Because we all know he needs public ego stroking for everything he does! If the right wanted to question Parkland over obituaries, then I am gonna need to see some hard proof of these heroics 😏 I mean the least the conspiracy theorists could do is hire some actors for their story like the left does. Not like Roseanne couldn't find a few actors to help a guy out.

It’s a political show...how can it not be a political thread? I don't consider it a political show - I consider it a sitcom. The sitcom just happened to have a scene or two that mentioned politics. I don't mind of course, that people discussed the political aspect of the show but this thread turned into sometime entirely different and strayed from discussing the show. I was just disappointed that it didn't stay on topic, that's all.

I think it’s silly to not consider it a political show...the arts don’t exist in a vacuum. Of course they contain socio-political commentary.

And I disagree and think it’s completely on topic. I understand and that is okay if you view it that way, but for me, personally, I don't and just wish this thread would have stayed talking about the show itself or even the political content of the particular episode but it didn't, it became about something else. That was all I was saying.

What an outrageous exploitation of abused and traumatized children! If I was a parent of such a child, NO WAY would I allow such a thing - especially in such a way that my child was identifiable in any way.

I was being sarcastic... because I believe this whole conspiracy theory is a bunch of garbage as are the claims that the Parkland kids are actors. My point is that his supporters will believe this with zero proof or zero alternative facts, hence the reference to them hiring actors to at least try and legitimize the claims.

YOU may not want to parade them around, because you care about your child. But do you seriously doubt that if this thing happened that Trump wouldn't be tweeting and telling everyone who would listen about how great he was to have done this?

I mean, you can't buy a new couch, or update the carpeting, or change anything about the house in 20 years?? I also think the viewing numbers will probably drop in future episodes; I think a lot of people probably watched it for nostalgia reasons, too. Like I did-- I used to love watching it, but it's kind of just a 'part of my childhood' type thing; somehow the humor put with up-to-date topics doesn't seem as funny to me now, and Roseanne's character grates on my nerves a LOT more than it used to. I think part of it is also there's only so much time I want to devote to television, and there are a LOT more choices out there now for what to watch-- there's tons of other things I'd personally rather watch than a sitcom.

I watched it when it was first on, but quit watching long before it ended.
I heard a brief clip on one of the Sunday morning shows today, and it reminded me how much I disliked how Roseanne delivers her lines.
And while Sara Gilbert may be the driving force behind this reboot, and they have opposing viewpoints represented, I just don't like the idea of supporting Roseanne in any way, given her conspiracy theory bent.

Well considering I couldn’t stand her old show, why would I want to watch a highly politicized reboot. Roseanne said today that they are really going to highlight the political divide in the country and show how families with such differing political views coexist. After my brother sent me a FB tirade about why he joined the NRA for five years, I am thinking it might be interesting to watch. I found both sides very irritating, they did do a good job of showing the divides.

That's probably the same reason they kept all the decor the same too. Maybe they'll update it more as time goes on. Oddly, even being a decor person, the thing that jumped out at me the most as being exactly the same as 20 years ago was Dan's puffy vest in one scene.

Can somebody please show sara Gilbert was a comb looks like? Why is there an lift chair on the stairs? This is so uncalled for. She has beautiful hair. I'm guessing you just don't have much experience with curly hair?

I'm guessing you just don't have much experience with curly hair? My son has curly hair and my cousin had beyond curly Irish hair. Neither one ever went out looking like they just got out of bed. Sarah always looks like she started to comb her hair , and then stopped to do something else.

As a lifelong member of the "Beyond Curly Irish Hair" tribe you speak of, nobody needs to show me what a comb or brush look like. I know what they are; I just don't own any. LOL.

My cousin just used her fingers and conditioner to style her her hair, but she had to comb it at least once a day to keep it from forming dreadlocks. I think she slept with it pinned up. My son had that perfect ringlet hair. It was perfect. He is now going bald and those curls are fading away.

I suspect this post got lost, as it was in the middle of the Münchhausen persecution diversion. The linked ^ article is very good. The author points out the myth that working class middle America made up the bulk of Trump voters ... the frustration that struggling, disillusioned working class families are always portrayed as white ... the narrative that we all need to only understand the "real" problems of "real" Americans in order to understand the election, which then very narrowly defines authenticity. (Can't my urban 10.25% sales tax and urban, obscenely high, middle class property taxes be real problems for me, a real American? Aren't working class urban Americans also struggling ... also losing jobs to automation and new technology?) Finally, related to the observation here that it seemed strange that the Conners, with gender fluid and black family members, would support Donald Trump - and then the rejoinder about single issue voting - there's this: "[The Conners] act as if love can protect the most vulnerable members of their family from the repercussions of their political choices. It cannot." Worth a read. I'm not doing it justice.

Different strokes, I suppose. Interesting,

Anyone still watching? I am not sure how I feel about giving her a pain pill addiction. Maybe it's more the way they protrayed it. There is so much jammed into a 30 mins episode it's almost overwhelming. Part of me misses the simple entertainment vs so many heavy issues. I still like it, i don't follow anyone's twitters, or politics or anything so I watch the show without all the constroversy people bring up here.

I haven't watched this week's episode yet (was it the finale?) but I did see the previews so know the premise. I could see someone like the Roseanne character getting addicted to prescription pain killers. If you have chronic pain, I am sure it would be so easy for that to happen. We know many celebrities that had that problem and some even died because of it (like Prince). Looking back on this thread, I think it is interesting that the first show caused so much of a political stir/discussion and none of the other episode really mentioned politics (of if they did it was so minor that I didn't notice).

I watched last night and couldn't believe their characters were celebrating their 45th wedding anniversary, that means their girls are in their 40s, woah! I googled and yes the actresses real ages are 43 and 42. The pain killers was just kind of weird.
