We watched the first episode of Will and Grace. We like political humor, unless it gets nasty.

We don’t watch Will and Grace anymore, but will watch Roseanne.

First show (Roseanne) dealt with a lot of controversies, with dignity and tact.

My favorite line was, liar, liar, pantsuit on fire.

As suggested I am watching the second show now. Everyone aged pretty well. I did not find it laugh out loud funny before and in that respect it seems the same. There will be a lot more news time talk about this show and Roseanne Barr in particular.

We didn't like the show the first time.

The only show I enjoyed that had political over tones was Archie Bunker. We aren't allowed to laugh about stuff like that anymore.

Bulloney.


People can "laugh" at anything...they so choose.


So if someone finds racism, bigotry, misogyny or xenophobia funny...they can guffaw away.


And stating the obvious, Archie's character was developed to bring to light all of the views...that decent people abhor.

You have laughed at things that are plainly hurtful to others. They aren't funny McGee. It isn't funny to find humor at older peoples eventual lot in life; needing care to go to the bathroom, be turned in bed.

Archie Bunker made people laugh but also taught them to see things through some clever situational sarcasm. He was clearly the most extreme case of ignorance to be found, and we all knew someone like him. That is why it was funny. We knew better.

why was archie bunker funny - Bing video

The topic is "Roseanne" show...please stay on topic.

Discussions/comparisons between Archie and Rosanne are quite apropos, considering the themes involved.

Cancelled.

Sara Gilbert: Heartbroken and disappointed in Roseanne's racist comments.

Sad for all the people that had not had any work for awhile, to lose out because of someone else’s Twitter tweet.

ABC just canceled her show after she sent controversial tweet

Did I just read that they are cancelling her her show because of a remark she made? OMG

Check out the tweet and remember Disney runs the network.

I think the tweets in the last few days are the straw that broke the camel's back. She has always been very vocal in her disdain for blacks and Jews, she is also a big conspiracy theorist and also was a "birther" advocate. She would be better off working her Roseanne Barr's Macadamia Farm in Hawaii.

I used to watch Archie Bunker and thought it was very funny. To me, Rosanne has always been very coarse and over the top and just not my type of entertainment, although I love John Goodman.

:agree:
