Roseanne Barr: Cancel This!

I am a bit puzzled by this entry in the database. After several decades of use, I have never seen an entry that has been rated by several hundred people (more than 500 at the time of my viewing), yet less than a handful are available for review. Is it possible that so few people were willing to go on record or is some type of cultural proxy war taking place? I think you have to have an account to vote your rating, right? Did people have an account, vote, but were disinterested in commenting? That seems so non-IMDb.

In any event, I thought her special uneven but certainly better than her current average rating of about 2.6. I have never been much of a fan of hers, both in her early stand-up days and later in her sit-com megaglory days. I decided to view it just out of curiosity. She is obviously on a mission and thinks that taking on as many taboos will strike the audience's fancy. Perhaps so, but I think she'd be better served by refining her jokes and stories. Perhaps after 16 years being away from the stand-up stage (or so I've read), she's just rusty.

Hospitalize this woman. She is in dire need of help. The media executives, fans and viewers all need to revisit their agendas for producing and viewing this show. It's sad and pathetic. And clearly opportunistic exploitation of a very sick person. It's horrifying to see a demented individual get propped up and allowed to exhibit the loss of cognitive ability. Hopefully she is so far gone that she doesn't realize it herself. Making money off of the frailty and loss of brain function should be illegal. Too bad these seriously ill celebrities get abused like this and are put on display for improper purposes. Is it simple greed, retaliation or outright incompetence? Likely all of the above.

Roseanne is not well. From what I saw on this special was Fox putting a mentally ill woman on stage just to prove they think she still has it. Unfortunately she tanked. She doesn't move around at all, stuck standing behind the microphone stand, not even taking the mic out. She's too busy using tissues and handkerchiefs to blot her runny nose. I had second hand embarrassment for her.

Her timing is all off and I noticed that even when she was on the Roseanne reboot that her timing is all over the place.

I miss the Roseanne from the 80's and 90's. This special just proved she needs to retire and seek some mental help. Embarrassing!

Roseanne Barr has had some troubles, and by troubles I mean consequences of her own actions. But, of course, this wasn't her fault, it was "woke cancel culture." This special is absolutely terrible, and not because it's offensive, it's because it's so unfunny and there are so few actual jokes that it is painful to watch. It's rather sad seeing her fall from her 'Roseanne' show, which had an amazing first few seasons. That was comedy GOLD. Actual jokes and characters that were relatable. This is just Roseanne standing on a stage and making statements that she knows will get responses from the republican crowd. Most of the raucous audience reactions were clearly edited onto the end of "jokes" that most likely got small pity laughs. Not worth the time at all.

So disappointed. I love Roseanne and she spent over half the time repeating how ungrateful her children are. None of the jokes were very funny. The entire show was just complaining not real jokes no belly laughs. I purchased the fox app to see the show because of how much I had missed Roseanne since she had been Mia for quite a while. It was very difficult to watch as she wasn't dressed for the part and the pigtails looked silly. Not real at all it looked like a mess. I am worried for her mental Health because she does seem to bash her self on several occasions and she just appears so angry. I know callus is her disposition. I just wished it was funny and not plain painful.
