Dear Roseanne...


Well, my all-time favorite show has come and gone.

AGAIN!

Except this time, it didn't get a triumphant send-off.

Instead, it was kicked out of the ABC house like a junkie who steals from her parents and siblings every chance she gets!

Roseanne Barr, why are you so selfish? Why do you open your mouth and/or make the most vile comments on social media your wrinkled fingers can type?

Why?

We fans of your show missed you and the Conner clan! And we showed you just how much by turning out in record numbers for your reboot's premiere!!!

I'm sure the cast and the crew of the show were happy to now have steady employment in the industry they love. Especially "Becky" and "DJ." We hadn't seen them in ages!

But your ill-chosen words, Roseanne, have ruined EVERYTHING!

Absolutely EVERYTHING!

Every time you typed one of your nonsensical conspiracy theories, or anything else for that matter, you never ONCE had your cast and crew in mind.

Not ONCE!

'Cause, if you did, you would have kept your innermost thoughts OFF social media and ONLY uttered them in the confines of your own home---where only YOU and those who truly love you would hear them.

Yes, I wish you never felt a reason to think or say many of the things you say on your Twitter page, but, hey, you're human, and I get saying things that might not be deemed in "good taste" if others heard them. That's why we say those things ONLY at HOME!

I was on the CBS Radford Studio Center lot a week or so ago, and saw the plaque on Stage 2, commemorating that the stage was the original home of your show from 1988-1997.

I saw that these latest episodes were still being taped on the same lot, different stage.

But no more.

No more because of your damn SELFISHNESS!

No more because of your damn MOUTH!

Oh, how I wish ABC would simply keep the show going without you.

The original creator of the show, Matt Williams, wanted the show to be called Life And Stuff. He wanted it to be an ensemble piece, so as not to make one performer the main focus. You fought him on that, and he was consequently replaced as a result.

So, you pride yourself on being an honest person who speaks her mind.

Well, honestly, how has "keeping it real" worked out for you?

At this point, Roseanne has been canceled.

Your talent agency has dropped you.

The cast and crew are out of a job.

The woman you insulted is being interviewed all over the place, garnering more attention than she's had in ages. Or ever!

And you are feeling WHAT?

I hope and pray what you're feeling is remorse.

And that you've made a vow to DO BETTER.

And BE BETTER.

ROSEANNE is still my all-time favorite tv show.

But, you, Roseanne, are no longer my all-time favorite tv star.

Not anymore.


Your replacement never let me down. Scratch that! She did quit Charlie's Angels after only the first season, so...well...I really liked Cosby...

Oh, FORGET it! :)
