ABC announce the cancellation of Roseanne due to low ratings.
Via The Wrap:
Roseanne Barr says that when “Roseanne” returns to ABC, half her TV family, the Connors, will support President Trump — because it’s realistic that they would.
She said her character, Roseanne, and her husband, Dan (John Goodman) will support Trump because she’s always wanted the sitcom to be “a true reflection on the society we live in.”
“So I feel like half the people voted for Trump and half didn’t, so it’s just realistic,” she said at a Television Critics Association panel on Monday.
“I’ve always attempted to portray a realistic portrait of the American people and the working class people. And, in fact, it was working class people who elected Trump,” Barr continued. “So I felt like, yeah, that was very real, and something that needed to be discussed.”
Barr added that she wanted to focus on “polarization in the family” in particular, and “people actually hating other people for the way they voted,” which she said she feels “is not American.”
“So I wanted to bring it right down the middle, and we did,” she said.[…]
“I’m not a Trump apologist. There are a lot of things he’s said and done that I don’t agree with,” she said.
“It’s always a lesser of two evils,” Barr continued, added that one reason she “could not vote for Hillary Clinton is because of Haiti.”
She was cut off before she could explain what she meant.
