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.
Long before Charlie Sheen had his own show that he lost, there was Roseanne who had her show on and off of the screen. Well from one Macadamia Nut to a Tiger
Blood drinking one, here is the advice she has for him in a post she title, “charlie sheen makes me look sane;”.
this thread is for charlie sheen talk and mental illness talk. Charlie is not on drugs, though he can get them from the porn star goddesses that come and go, but his urine shows clean–i think charlie is in a manic high, and is unable to get any drugs to bring him down anymore—his tiger blood statement is from that “eye of the tiger” focus that manics have. Manics can really work hard and play hard at the same time, until they hit a wall, and then they are in bed and depressed for a long time, so they start taking drugs again to get energy to work. Charlie, take a break dude. Go to Greece, Paris, China, look at great art and lay low. you got fired, dude. anybody can do your job, really. other guys are funny and not repulsive to intelligent women, though those shit chuck lorre lines could choke a fucking horse, and render any actor who recites them stone cold soul dead. No grown man could really look himself in the mirror knowing that he delivers shit jokes and adolescent sniggering over breasts and women’s body parts lines to the Tea partier types who are big fans of Chuck’s hilarious hijinx. I fired Chuck Lorre for being a big drunk on my show, and he went on to become one of tv’s most successful writers (about dick jokes). Maybe Charlie can start producing porn movies now!!
If I were him, I would follow what she says because if she says he makes her look sane, then he is pretty bad off.
Poor Chuck has had his handful of stars like Roseanne, Cybill Shepard, Brett Butler and Charlie Sheen. As much as I love Chuck, maybe it is him and not his stars???
Roseanne Barr is coming back to television, not in a scripted comedy but in a show about her nutty life. The comedienne is living in Hawaii now managing a 40-acre Macadamia nut farm and she is going to document it all for Lifetime. We will get 16 30-minute episodes of Roseanne as is, and we know that should make great TV. Especially when she say this about it, “They’ve said ‘Roseanne’s nuts’ for years, and now I’m going to make that a reality – I’m all about nuts now, macadamia nuts!â€
The show doesn’t have a name or an air date, but I can’t wait to watch Roseanne is Nuts on Lifetime later this year. Am I nuts?

John Goodman debuted his new much slimmer figure last night at AFI’s 38th Annual Lifetime Achievement Award Honoring Mike Nichols that will air June 26th on TV Land and he looks freaking amazing. In fact I think he is even thinner now than he was for most of Roseanne. I can’t wait to find out what he did to lose the weight and I hope he can keep it off.
BTW how dramatic was his weight loss, below is a picture of him from October. Amazing transformation.
