Roseanne And John Goodman Will Be Together Again
America's future President is trying to make up for Roseanne's shit puddle of a final season by reuniting with John Goodman to make blue collar magic again. Deadline says that John Goodman (for some reason it feels wrong writing his first name only) is about to sign on to Roseanne's NBC sitcom pilot called Downwardly Mobile. Roseanne will play the keeper of a mobile home park who is like a mother to everyone who lives there and John Goodman will play one of her best friends, so sadly it doesn't look like they'll be bumping fupas on the small screen again.
This news is like an extra star on my blue terry cloth moon robe. (Note: Am I high again or did Roseanne wear a blue terry cloth moon robe in almost every episode? I can't find pictures of that shit.) Roseanne better keep the lottery out of this and she better find a place for Crystal Conner, because she's in need of a major comeback. And don't you miss the old days when Roseanne looked like Marilyn Whirlwind from Northern Exposure.
• 
She may have looked like Marilyn, but at least Roseanne say her lines like she was a stage-shy first grader on parents night.
I agree with selenster- Alison on Melrose wore a robe like that all the time. I thought it was the coolest back then! Now they sell them at Walmart.
Roseanne actually looks better than ever lately. I guess living in Hawaii and eating nuts *wink* is good for the soul...
whoa i thought he was dead

i, for one am super excited to see them together on tv again. it's gotta be better than 99.99999% of the crap on network tv these days.
Hell yeah! I loved Roseanne and I still watch re-runs at night. Hopefully this won't be as disappointing as her reality show was.
roseann show was awesome. its like my family
☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺

roseanne and her show were awesome. yep, it showed "real life" (blue collar american, sub middle-class but above poverty) more than any other show did.
the kids were dead on and so were she and goodman. the characters were real and not plastic (in both personality and looks).
the house was perfect -the knitted yarn throw on the back of the couch -PUHLEASE! -that was so authentic (along with every other piece of furniture and cheesy decor).
plus, i love roseanne because SHE PISSES PRETENTIOUS PEOPLE OFF

Hey! Brady Bunch had some awesome moral lesson in their eps.... but were they representative? Did they relect what life was like for most? No.
I'm not arguing against what the Brady Bunch and their ilk had to offer, I'm saying the Roseanne Show was deserving of praise for presenting a realistic family on television, at a time when this representation was rejected. Warts and all. In a way that was not parody, was not sarcasm, it was as close to reality as any documentary would hope to get.

@MyTwoCents - Bewitched :) haha
(just kidding) I was wondering myself the same thing unless we're talking Happy Days or something, and quite frankly, none of the sitcoms I ever saw, rerun or at the current time ever conveyed what real family life was like (at least not for me) and it's just pure fantasy imho. The only way sitcom life was similar to mine is that if Laverne were a tranny, and I were Shirley, well there's my whole roommate life in the 1990s :) haha

In all due respect, Leave It To Beaver was hardly a "fake" TV depiction of a perfect family life. This show gets an unfair rap--it was actually way ahead of its time in addressing issues including homelessness, divorce, and alcoholism. If you truly know the show, you also know that the writing was witty and timeless. NO ONE disses LITB on my watch! ;)
...........
To be fair, I'm not entirely familiar with the issues that LITB addressed, I used that example as one that opitimised the "perfect family", it was not a commentary on the series itself.
I do uphold my belief that shows of that era tried to uphold a standard that was unattianable, or even desirable. The Roseanne show stripped back all of that artifice, and represented for the first time a real family, that revealed every ugly detail of reality.

Can't wait 'til he has his inevitable heart attack.

Shorthand: she portrayed families as real families are. They fight, they love/hate each other, they are not perfect 'Leave It To Beaver' fake television depictions of what we would like to be.

like Obama. very last year.
The only robe I remember her wearing in that show was a pink one, and I've seen those episodes hundreds of times. Big fan of the show.

It's just my personal reaction to her nasal, whining shtick. Too grating for moi. And she never was a very good actor, imho.

At the time, Roseanne's show was vilified, for telling the truth, the truth of what real families go through.

She annoys the fuck out of me. Nasal whining is just not a pleasant watch to Moi. Not to this whole mess.

Roseanne had a robe like that. She also had once in pink.
I will watch the first episode, at least. I really like these two.
I would definitely watch this!
(and by 'watch' I mean illegally d/load the episodes via some torrent site because I may not have another ten years to wait for the eps to be broadcast here and by 'broadcast' I mean edited to hell and back to make room for a fuckload of advertisements)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
individually and collectively, i love these two breathing piles of dirty laundry.

ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz. yay refried beans. Then make a movie and then a broadway show....John Goodman should walk away from this.
@sushi - yes that epi was funny and so was the marijuana epi.
I got to watch Roseanne on reruns years later - I never watched it when it was first on. Same thing for Golden Girls, saw them on reruns, years later.
@sushi - I agree and I was going to say just that - she's had a lot of plastic surgery, but she doesnt look more horrid at least?
*********
I agree. Somehow, she grew into her plastic surgery or had great corrective surgery.
I think though that the beauty of the show in its early years was that she was who she was and she wasn't going to change for anyone. Then she got plastic surgery and it just changed the show for me.
It was really an amazing show early on. So different from what was on at that point. I LOVED the episode where she was on the rag.

If it's anything like how Roseanne was before it jumped the shark, I'll be watching.

I don't remember seeing where Goodman said Barr was a pain - he said the show was great to work on and he loved Roseanne.
Links please? I'd like some scandal!

Goodman must have pissed his money away to sign up for this crap. I give it 1/2 a season before it gets the boot.
they have no sitcoms these days like they did back then. I was a kid and I used to love roseanne.. Modern family is okay, funny at moments.. sophia irratates me.. I can handle her a little bit but they've given her more camera time and I can only take so much.
All I can think is, John Goodman must either be desperate for work or needs money badly. He's been very open about how much hatred he had for Barr & her psychotic abuse towards everyone on their old show; she went out of her way to bully everyone, including her fellow actors. He should do something else...

I guess if the American public can see over the Roseanne days, maybe her show with Goodman will last, but I doubt it. The masses will be wanting Roseanne again, and maybe that's her intention, but with a different setting. We will have to see.
I actually did like her Roseanne's Nuts show but I never watched it on the OWN, got a torrent! :)
MK what the hell ARE you smoking? I've never seen that robe on Roseanne, lol!
What happened to Rosanne's Nuts on the Oprah Network? I really loved that show with her hippie boyfriend in Hawaii.
The robe you're thinking of was always on ALISON, the character from MELROSE PLACE.
I loved Roseanne; the show was great up until she started having plastic surgery and then the show changed. The two of them were so great together.
They remind me of my white trashy yet lovable sister and brother in law. I can't wait.
YASSSS!

I think I remember that robe showing up occassionally. But I'm NEVER high. Hmmmmm
I fucking LOVE John Goodman. Never watched Roseanne, but I've seen his movies. He was also good on Treme.

Hey boomsy, ya think? I think she looks a bit like her dad.
Thanks for the shout-out to Marilyn Whirlwind - damn that woman was great. She was the Jimi Hendrix of silence.
If Roseanne's getting John Goodman on board, she's not fuckin around. Heck, she should make him her running mate while she's at it.
In its day her old sitcom certainly captured the zeitgeist, and I'd love to see her do it again because nobody's better at it. Only trouble is, our times are so much more fucked up and unhappy now than the 90s. Anyway, go Rosie - make it good!

Both are cool in my book, so I approve.
I decided a long time ago that if I'm ever crazy enough to remarry, it has to be to a Dan Conner-esque dude (minus some of the chunk--I don't like having to dig around for the peen). As far as this new show goes, I don't know how I feel about it yet.
You mean he could be Mr. 1st Gentleman if she becomes president? That would be AWESOME!! hahaha
If she doesn't win on the Ganga ballot, then she still as something solid to fall back on! Yeah, team Roseanne!
"blue terry cloth moon robe" NO, YES MK, you are high! LOL!

I don't know about the robe, but I remember that creamed corn was featured in every episode.
One of the things that always confused me about the last season was the Becky-married-David thing. Does that mean that Becky was the one who named Keith "David"?
LOL @ "bumping fupas"!
I like both of them and I thought "Roseanne" was a good show for many many years. Roseanne is a crazy like a fox and while I think she's off the deep end in a few of her opinions, I generally find myself agreeing with her.
There's not much else I'd rather watch on mainstream TV anyway, so I'd give it a shot.
