[QUOTE="Gabriel Maxwell, post: 121634, member: 121"] This must have been really painful for ABC since[I] Roseanne[/I] was a gift sent from heavens. [I]The Middle[/I] just ended after 9 seasons and they only have 2 moderate hits left on Tuesdays, [I]Fresh Off the Boat[/I] and [I]Black-ish[/I]. They're screwed without her show, which was not only their #1 new show - it was [I][B]the[/B][/I] #1 ABC show. So, Roseanne managed to not only torpedo her own show that could've run for multiple seasons and generated millions of dollars-- not to mention the 200+jobs associated with it -- but also obliterate ABC's entire Tuesday night line-up and all those shows and all those jobs, which desperately needed a hit like [I]Roseanne [/I]to prop them all up. What a fascinating collapse, coming off just a couple of months after that stunning ratings-shattering premiere in March -- all pissed away in practically an instant, following a single nasty tweet (though there had been a pattern). A fitting trainwreck ending for the woman who many years ago got away with that anthem stunt. [/QUOTE]
