Kellirippa | Wednesday, August 13, 2003 - 11:51 pm     I like Roseanne, I like her because she is her. She just does what she wants when she wants, she's a mess. I wouldn't want to know her, I really wouldn't want to live by her, I don't understand why someone who hates the tabloids so much would want to live in front of camera crews, but.....I like her. |
Pamy | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 09:50 pm     I just saw a little of this show. I couldn't get into it cuz I kept looking at that farmer's market and thinking that's the farmer's market that elderly man drove thru and killed all those people a few weeks ago. |
Scorpiomoon | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 10:10 pm     Curlyq: I appreciate your post--your explanation and pointing out things I hadn't considered. You're right. It's really not fair for me to judge this show after only seeing snippets. |
Oregonfire | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 10:26 pm     I'm waiting to see if/when she fires the exec producer. I totally didn't get that decision. They were intimidated by his supposed intellect, I think, but warning signs were there at the very first hiring meeting. She should've hired the woman who pitched the idea about going to 7-11 to put together a healthy meal. She had the right feel/approach. Anyway, I watch it between other shows--am mildly interested. The other Hollywood agent/producer types are fun to watch too. So fakey and ridiculous. |
Fluff | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 06:38 am     It kinda bored me, but then again, I only watched about 5 minutes worth.  |
Dahli | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 01:47 pm     I loved her on the View... it's like she's amazed that she oould be nice and the world doesn't rip her apart. so sad she learned that so late. |
Curlyq | Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 09:57 pm     Scorpiomoon, I had been watching the show the same way you did that night (catching snippets during commercial breaks). That's why I knew how lame it looked to someone watching it that way. After "The Family" ended I went back and watched my tape of the show in its entirety and that's when it started to make more sense to me. It's still not the greatest show out there, but I'm kinda hooked in a way just because I want to see how it'll all end. |
Sanfranjoshfan | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 09:56 am     http://apnews1.iwon.com/article/20030815/D7SUCRB00.html Roseanne Barr to Have Hysterectomy Aug 15, 8:10 AM (ET) LOS ANGELES (AP) - Roseanne Barr will have a hysterectomy next week, possibly delaying the taping of her new ABC Family series, "Domestic Goddess," her assistant said. "It's not life-threatening or anything," Becky Pentland said Thursday. "She's a real healthy person, so we hope she won't be down very long." After tests earlier this week, doctors told the actress-comedian she should undergo the operation, which is scheduled for Wednesday, Pentland said. "Domestic Goddess," the cooking and lifestyle show that stars Barr, is scheduled to premiere on Sept. 20. Pentland said Barr, 50, will be recovering for at least a few days after the surgery, and production may be delayed up to two weeks. ABC Family representatives didn't immediately return calls seeking comment. The development of "Goddess" also has been the subject of a documentary-style series now running on ABC, "The Real Roseanne Show," which has already completed production. |
Tabbyking | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 10:46 am     so is becky pentland the new wife of roseanne's first ex? sounds like everyone is pretty buddy buddy! lol i haven't watched this, but i loved roseanne when she first did stand up comedy as the trailer mom...i think when you watch anything of roseanne's you get roseanne. it's like when everyone freaked when she did the national anthem at the san diego game years ago. what did people expect?! i thought it was funny because everyone was so shocked. did they really think roseanne had somehow mastered the national anthem and was going to sing an a capella version that would knock our socks off?! nope, she pretended to spit, adjust her cup.....you ask for roseanne, you got her. JMO, of course! but then, i like tom arnold, too, and best damn sports show is one of my favorites because of him... |
Jan | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 01:59 pm     a very belated happy birthday Tabbyking I agree about Roseanne completely..but I have always found that Tom's hyperactivity makes me nervous so I don't watch him and yep, that's the first husband's wife. She is Roseanne's assistant and he is Roseanne's handiman. |
Tabbyking | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 02:32 pm     thanks for the bd wishes, jan! i think tom alone might be too much, but i like his being part of the best damn sport show group. he makes some very funny quips. the first husband and his current wife being a part of her life now is kind of strange...but then, this is roseanne! if it works for her, who am i to question?! lol |
Scorpiomoon | Monday, August 18, 2003 - 11:10 am     Just read this article: Roseanne Barr cooking show axed NEW YORK (AP) -- Roseanne Barr's hysterectomy has forced the cancellation of her upcoming cooking show, "Domestic Goddess," and may claim the ABC reality show leading up to it. The 50-year-old comedian-actress is due to undergo the operation this week. "Domestic Goddess" was to begin airing Sept. 20 on the ABC Family cable channel. Production had only recently begun and no completed episodes were available to broadcast, a network spokeswoman said. However, ABC is in the midst of airing a reality series in which cameras followed Barr as she pitched "Domestic Goddess" to various networks. Two half-hour episodes of "The Real Roseanne Show" are scheduled to air each Wednesday through Sept. 17, setting up "Domestic Goddess." Production on the ABC network shows is already complete. ABC is taking a "hard look" at whether it should cancel the reality series, as well, spokesman Kevin Brockman said Monday. One point of the ABC show was to build anticipation for "Domestic Goddess," and if that series has been shelved, ABC has to decide whether it's worthwhile to continue, he said. Ratings may make the decision easier. The Aug. 6 premiere of "The Real Roseanne Show" drew fewer than 5.5 million viewers, ranking it No. 59 for the week. *** As much as I dislike her and this reality show, I do feel bad for. Let's hope she recovers and bounces back from this. |
Sanfranjoshfan | Monday, August 18, 2003 - 05:43 pm     Let this be a lesson to us all: ABC=Already Been Cancelled I liked this show and if The Family had not returned, I may never have noticed it or started watching it....I make a point to avoid watching any new ABC shows. They have screwed me over too many times. (Lost, Family, Mole, etc...) I just hate the fact that two of my favorite shows, Alias and The Practice, are in the hands of those , untrustworthy, cancel-happy ABC execs! In fact, if I had my way, they would both be on NBC. Oh well....another great decision by ABC. <note heavy sarcasm> |
Pamy | Monday, August 18, 2003 - 06:07 pm     I totally agree with you Sanfran!! ABC SUCKS! |
Grooch | Monday, August 18, 2003 - 06:36 pm     Oh, this royally pisses me off. I hate ABC. First the Mole and now this.  |
Jan | Monday, August 18, 2003 - 06:43 pm     damn..I really liked this show! Why does ABC keep doing this. Maybe they won't cancel the reality show..maybe just the cooking show will be axed??? |
Sanfranjoshfan | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 09:50 am     Oops....I was blaming ABC for "Lost" not staying around....but apparently it was NBC! http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/archives/lost/ |
Hoosiergirl | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 03:38 pm     Confirmed. Reality show also cancelled. http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,12339,00.html?ibd |
Hippyt | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 06:02 pm     Man,I didn't even watch this show,but I just want to join you all in saying ABC SUCKS!! |
Pamy | Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 06:17 pm     I swear I will never start watching a new ABC show!!! ABC SUCKS!!! |
Scorpiomoon | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 12:13 am     It is now official; this show has been cancelled. The article I'm sorry guys. I know it freakin' sucks when ABC does this. With any luck, they'll bring it back. |
Sanfranjoshfan | Wednesday, August 20, 2003 - 05:16 pm     Scorpiomoon - the problem is...it isn't luck that's needed, it's fewer shortsighted ABC bonehead executives. Not only do they refuse to give a show a chance....but they alienate possible future viewers. I know *I* don't trust them anymore at all...nada, nope, no way, no how, zip, hasta la vista baby. |
