She was facing knee surgery on the show-- I'm actually a big fan of the show but not Roseanne's politics.

I want the show to go on so can we cut a deal where she gets her knee operation and realizes she's thankful for Obamacare? I think that's a reality a lot of people in America have figured out when they faced an issue.

Fair trade I think.

...deciding which ones they could put off filling, and how to stretch the supply. The groundwork for dying of something fairly preventable like a stroke has already been laid.

there's a little game being played and it's designed to make you and us look bad.

From the start, I have suggested something like a heart attack or stroke due to inadequate medical insurance, but never self-destruction. The one is in character, the other is not. Roseanne Conner is a battler, and will go down fighting for her family, but not able to afford to take the best care of herself.

ABC just has to get rid of her, and "death" of the character is the usual way of making sure someone can't return. I think if everyone is willing they can create a new show without her. I hope they try.

How about ABC NOT do a Roseanne spinoff. Right now, the cast and crew of the Roseanne show can leave with their heads held high: our show got cancelled because the star let her racist flag fly. They can find new work.

The only reason the Deplorables were watching that show was to see Roseanne support Trump. If they do a spinoff no one's going to watch it, and they'll have to try to get new jobs after their last show was cancelled for bad ratings.

As Doctor McCoy put it so many times, "it's dead, Jim."

in real life, that is what she said every patriotic American should do at age 60, so as not to be a burden on the government and society. She is 65 now, which means that in the spinoff she'd be gone a while and her name wouldn't come up all the time.

Her car hits a pack of “black ice” (dirty ice) at speed, swerved off the highway, and goes into a gully/hits a tree/ hits an abutment. A pity she wasn’t wearing her seatbelt.
