Roseanne Barr: Blonde and Bitchin'

Right, well this was actually the first time that I have watched Roseanne Barr doing comedy, as I sat down here in 2022 to watch the 2006 comedy show "Roseanne Barr: Blonde and Bitchin'".

I have to admit that I didn't really know what to expect here, as I wasn't familiar with Roseanne Barr doing comedy, aside from what I used to watch on the TV during my teenage years, as I watched "Roseanne" on TV.

And as the comedy show ended, I must admit that I wasn't particularly impressed with what I just sat through. I wasn't brought to laughter once throughout the 57 minutes that Roseanne performed. The contents of the jokes just fell short of entertaining me. And it felt very staged and somewhat wooden, as Roseanne Barr didn't really have a natural flow to her delivery of the material on the stage.

This is not something that I will ever return to watch a second time, nor has it caused me to rush out to get to watch more of Roseanne Barr's comedy, if there is any more out there.

My rating of "Roseanne Barr: Blonde and Bitchin'" lands on a two out of ten stars.

There was a time Roseanne was fresh, new and funny. She had a unique point of view -- that of a middle class, bored, angry housewife. And that point of view is what enabled a network to build a show around her comedy. I happened open this latest Roseanne venture and was shocked. What happened to her talent? Seriously, how can you slip that much? I don't know what has happened to her. If this is any indication of her act...wow. Boy has her comedy gone downhill. There is not a smart joke. Nothing is humor. It is all bitter spewing of anger. There was a time her bitterness was funny. Sorry no longer funny. Watching this is like listening to a foul mouthed friend complain too long. While she has not lost her edge -- she has lost her sense of humor. I find that sad. Even if you WERE a Roseanne fan at one time, this mess will not bring you back into her fan base. Just really too bad. There was a time that Roseanne was a brilliant comic. That time has passed.

The reason I love this is that Roseanne is so brave. Is she bitter? Heck yeah! But she hasn't given in to that or to fear. (As displayed by her song and dance routine.) Very inspiring! I think I laughed loudest however when she said "we grew up poor...but we didn't know we were poor...because we were also very stupid." Just good comedy there. Before she ever started her joke about the personal ad she was thinking about putting in the paper, I said to my husband "The reason I like her is because she seems she could just snap at any second." I think we can all relate to that. The only thing weird about the whole thing is that I don't feel the audience thought it was as funny as I did, but maybe that was just bad editing.

OK, Well, their ant a hole hell of a lot of people who would talk like this to there friends little own to the public on a stage. She is too real; as she speaks about politics and human condition here on Earth, with the emotion we want out of are politician. She talks to the hippie generation on the B.S they have created. What can you do to change the world? She shows us how to get up and get out there, and she doses it on stage. How hard it can be for us, she doses it proud and loud she hits it with her over the fence. She show there's nothing to fear but fear it self. Don't fear it's too hard. It's not that tuff to get out there and make a Difference. U go girl!
