That didn't last long. ABC Cancels Roseanne after tweet about Obama aid.

But not very funny...More anger than giggles....

Correct. Scripted, full of straw men, like a Kirk Freeman INGO argument.

But is it at least shrill and tasteless?

What percentage of Americans use the lingo 'lede'?



I am - she is offensive and I'll prefer she'd be fired. But that's TBS's call, and I don't have cable...

This. If her show was cancelled or if it stays on, Nielsen wouldn't be able to tell the difference in my household

John who?

Let us wait 20 minutes then; when the enemy is making false moves, we must be careful not to interrupt him.

(From memory)

Attributed to Napoleon at Austerlitz (Battle of the Three Emperors)

That was actually the Jets and the Sharks from West Side story....

Very shrill...Not funny enough to be tasteless....

Ok.

I'm seeing some "Love is Love" and "Hate is Hate" type stuff. So, in that context, I will add, "Humor is Humor."

Apparently Minnie Driver (who I'm not particularly a fan of, but I think she's a decent actress) tweeted something, taking exception to the use of the "c" word. She said something about how it is inappropriate because Ivanka doesn't have the "warmth or depth."

That's funny right there.

So clearly, she has someone to handle her social media for her...'cause, yeah, I chuckled at that one.

Not even the actors have to do something to offend...

Daisy Duke never offended me....

Yeah, I was always partial to Cooter.

Yeah, I was always partial to Cooter.

I love cooter

Given that 'arena' I would expect Minnie Driver to play it fast and loose

Cosby is African-American?

Cosby is African-American?

Apparently, so is Roman Polanski and Woody Allen.

Nasty, vulgar humor has it's place, but it's not on my TV. I think TBS does themselves a huge disservice by airing this piece of ****. I can't even stand to watch her commercials, so when I flip the channel, I sometimes find something more interesting, and don't flip back. Can the networks monitor when people turn off something in mass, or is it still the old Nielsen ratings system?

“You know, Ivanka, that’s a beautiful photo of you and your child, but let me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad’s immigration practices, you feckless c---!”

Samantha Bee's vicious attack on Ivanka shows double standard compared to Roseanne treatment, say critics | Fox News

Can you imagine if someone called one of Barack's daughter a c***?

Is that how the Canadians spell it or did she just spell it wrong on purpose

I'd love to think so... but I doubt it.

Same with when Tony Katz can't go 5 seconds without mentioning himself... I'd like to think WIBC can feel when I change the channel... but I know they don't. It's satisfying enough for me, I guess.

....Hate to say it, boys, but if these were all by a new member, you wouldn't get a pass into the classifieds at this point.

Hope my post above is deemed quality. I'm racing to 100 so I get to look at all the really good shiny bits in the classifieds. 98

It's true. Every 50 quality posts unlocks a new hidden area of the classifieds.

At my level, I can see people's first born children up for sale.

Ooohh, I like that idea.

Obama Bad. Trump Good. 99

Just one more ... think, think, ... ah, ****, that's all I got. 99

Best go visit the Wild Turkey for inspiration.

It's would be great if you could just cut down tv to a few things. I don't watch it and if it ran HGTV 24/7 the wife would be happy.
