[QUOTE="Gabriel Maxwell, post: 122178, member: 121"] Why doesn't ABC just let it go? First of all, who wants to watch DARLENE or THE CONNERS? Roseanne [I][B]was[/B][/I] the show. The remaining cast were there to play off her sarcastic lines. Think of Roseanne what you want, but it'd be a dull ROSEANNE without Roseanne. It would fizzle out quickly after some initial interest. Secondly, she's co-producer, so she's likely entitled to a share of the profits. And if they try to screw her over, she can sue them like Charlie Sheen successfully sued CBS who then had to settle for millions of dollars. Not much of a punishment if she ends up profiting from additional episodes without even lifting a finger. But I suppose they want to get some of the money back, since Gilbert, Goodman & Metcalf are reportedly still getting paid $300,000 per episode next season whether ABC produces a 2nd season or not, so they're probably thinking - well, we might as well give it a shot, since we're losing buckets of money on this anyway.
