I have no sympathy for her but I feel bad for the actors who depended on those residuals.

It's still on Laff tonight.

Yikes.... I feel bad for the supporting cast on her show and anybody else that would get a financial residual from the show. Syndication money gone.

XFINITY is still showing Roseanne on the guide along with a random thumbnail from the show.

I still think it'll gradually be added back within a few months.

MA · 05-29-2018, 09:20 PM

And for the rest of the week, it still says Roseanne.

It shows Roseanne on the guide for Laff, but Night Court is now on every weeknight from 9-11pm. Finally, Night Court back on at night!!!! Yay!!!!

Todd Bridges did an interview where he talked about residuals decreasing over the years. He said he made quite a bit when Diff'rent Strokes hit syndication. But, of course he blew it all.

I'm curious about what the Roseanne cast was getting in residuals in recent years. The only people who will really be hurt with lost residuals are Michael Fishman, Estelle Parsons, and Lecy Goranson. Apparently, Estelle once said in an interview that her guest spots on the original show didn't pay well.

Once this firestorm has passed, it'll be back on the air.

Roseanne has said and done plenty of racist things in the past, yet Viacom did not bat an eye. So now that another network is acting as a result of her racist marks, other networks are following suit

I think censorship is stupid and unfair, so I hope this passes. This is why I'm so glad I have the DVDs because of this BS.

I take that back now. Starting on Friday, Roseanne is gone from the guide and tomorrow will be the last day that it shows up.

I think the same thing. Roseanne reruns are worth too much money to completely ignore.

SAME will happen with "The Cosby Show"...it just might take longer.

Yeah, I don't think this one will be permanent. Eventually someone will quietly put it back on, and when the world doesn't come to an end, other networks will follow.

I remember when certain networks and channels started quietly putting The Cosby Show back on the air again.

PhoenixAcres · 05-30-2018, 03:43 PM

Both Cosby and Roseanne (the shows) deserve to stay on the air. The shows didn't do anything wrong. It's the idea of separating the art from the artist.

Maybe the networks are worried the audience will associate the negativity of the star directly with the show and stop watching. But the audience should have that choice. If the ratings go down, only then should the shows be removed.

But yeah, I agree with the others. None of this is permanent. Both shows will be back in due time.
