it's just not funny

And very poorly suited for today's TV climate.

I mean, I was never actually a fan of the original Roseanne sitcom, but the current season just seems desperate.

I completely agree...it's not at all funny. It's a show about people I'd have to kill, were they to move in next door.

It was funny as hell; I'd watch the show if it was more like that.

I guess you aren't exactly spoiled in your cinematic preferences.

[–] liscarkat (18388) 6 years ago

I'm not spoiled in any way. How about you?

I am very discerning.

I'd like to see a contemporary sitcom that wasn't totally submerged in SJW nonsense. The reason the Roseanne reboot didn't work is the writing. It was phony, pretending to be 'balanced,' but really just a leftist show in disguise. And since Wanda Sykes was the head writer, we should put the blame on her.

You mean SOCIAL JUSTICE WAR. Stop with the lazy abbreviation writing. It looks like you're talking about Sarah Jessica Parker.

[–] exatera (3953) 6 years ago

That's warrior, not war, and no one actually spells it out, whereas SJW is a very common acronym.

No, it doesn't look like that commenter is talking about SJP.

Didn't work? It was #1.
