…and how you never want to see her again. Roseanne Barr Tweeted the above picture and said, “Fat old Jew” I think the woman who is going to be Roasted by Comedy Central left out a few adjectives, don’t you agree. Which words would you add to describe that photo of her?
Comedy Central has roasted Charlie Sheen, William Shatner, Pamela Anderson, Flavor Flav, David Hasselhoff, Bob Saget, Joan Rivers and now they are going to roast their first ever Presidential candidate…Roseanne Barr. That’s right on Sunday, August 12th the sitcom star will be the latest target and I can’t wait to see how they make fun of her. While I think that they have a lot to choose from, here is what she said about it “All I can say is good luck finding anything about me to make fun of… I mean, I’ve never made a mistake or offended anyone in my life!†What makes her roast so awesome, is that she is truly funny comedian who is going to roast the dais harder than they will do her.
Now when it comes to the dais, please let them get John Goodman to be the Roast Master. I also would love to see several of the cast members from Roseanne like Becky 1 and Becky 2 and some of the writers like Chuck Lorre and Joss Whedon on the panel. But my ultimate choice to be a surprise guest would be her ex-husband Tom Arnold. Could you imagine what we would say about her? Who do you want to see rip her new one?
Roseanne has a reality show called Roseanne’s Nuts on Lifetime that airs Wednesday at 9 and 9:30p, when her show ends Dance Moms begins. Well I guess the sitcom actress doesn’t like the show that follows hers because here is what she said about it on Twitter, “that fat ass bitch on dance moms thinks she is a roseanne connor type. bitch you can bully little kids and their fat ass moms, but hey, you wouldn’t last a second in a show down with old granny. I’d take you down in a heartbeat-u r fat, but u aint bad.” I really hope they battle it out because if they do and Roseanne won (which you know she will) then that would mean Dance Moms would be cancelled and I would no longer be excited to watch it every hump day. Seriously I feel so guilty because I can’t wait for the next episode to dance its way into my life every week.
If you have never seen Dance Moms, it is a horrible addictive television show that you don’t want to tell anyone you watch.
Before Roseanne Barr was making millions people laugh once a week on Roseanne, she was doing it via much more intimate ways at comedy clubs around the country. How funny is the 31 year old comedian during that 1984 stand up routine? It is obvious then, why she got her own television show just 4 years later!!!
Roseanne is back on TV every week on Lifetime Mondays at 9p in Roseanne’s Nuts. Instead of it being a scripted and groundbreaking sitcom, it is a nutty reality show about her. The comedian has left LA and moved to Hawaii where she lives on a farm that grows macadamia nuts. Which is appropriate because it is a lot like what a lot of people think about her.
And the show starts off proving what we think about her as she does a Sarah Palin. She has a pigs that have her invaded her 40-acre farm and she is chasing them off with a gun. That is just the beginning of her nuttiness and each week we will see her get nuttier and nuttier in back to back and I can’t wait to watch it happen.
Then at 10p we get to see moms in action that seem to make Roseanne look sane in Dance Moms. Several moms want their daughters to be dancers and have signed them up for the Abby Lee Dance Company and she feeds in to their hunger as much as she satisfies her own.
These young girls who aren’t even double-digits old are learning how to dance and listening to their moms talk about why they are going through the grueling classes makes you think they are living vicariously through their daughters. As a viewer I was shocked to hear how much they wanted their little girls to do this at the cost of their social lives and youth. As an example one little girl is so sick that she is crying in pain and her mom tells her you have never missed class so why start now, and she goes back to the lessons. In fact the teacher called her out and said to her I know you don’t feel well, so suck it up. She is just a little girl, how can they put dance before her health and well being. But that is just my perception what motherhood and coaching should be about.
Now when it comes to Abby Lee Miller, I wonder if she forgets that she is working with kids. She seems to put them through rigorous training, you would think they were Broadway dancers. She yells at them and I think pushes them further than any elementary school kid should be pushed. Plus you never once see her dance and that could be because I think she looks like she weighs as much as all the little girls put together. To me if she is so great, why have I never heard of her or seen any of her past students on Dancing with the Stars, So You Think You Can Dance or America’s Got Talent? Just saying.
The first episode deals with these poor little girls having only a week to learn a routine that they will be performing in a competition. So you really get to see what they have endure and it is startling.
As disgusting as I think the show is, I couldn’t stop watching it. There is something strangely addictive about it and interesting to watch even though it seems shocking. So tune in to this show at 10p for an hour of entertainment that will leave you dancing on a thin line between love and hate.
