Reply #96: I loved the Roseanne show [View All]

and although I don't agree with her candidate choice, she's an excellent writer and has achieved a great given her history. I loved the fact that her house was messy, the actors weren't pretty, Hollywood types and looked like normal everyday people. I like the fact that they took on gay issues, teenage pregnancy, physical abuse and many other (at the time) taboo subjects. The network tried to run rough shod over her until her show became #1 at which point she threw the network writers and producers off and replaced them with people who didn't offer up the same old formulaic bullshit.

And, btw, just because someone claims to be "progressive" or "liberal" doesn't make it so. Some of the most die-hard, DLC-loving DUers actually have those names in their screen names, or some variance and couldn't be more right wing if they registered Republican.
