"If Hollywood doesn’t buy it, then I’m just gonna make it myself.... Does anybody in [Hollywood] like America or the people who watch TV? Because the people who watch TV would really like to see a show where working-class people win against the enemies of America.... I don’t give a fuck either way.... I’d like to get paid handsomely to bring another shit fucking network back from doom as I’ve done twice for ABC. But I just don’t see how they would keep their nose out of my business. We’ll see. If not, I’ll just go somewhere else and put it on my own website...."
Says Roseanne Barr, quoted in "Roseanne Barr Plots Comeback With New Comedy Series, About a Family Who 'Saves America With Guns, the Bible, Petty Crime and Alcoholism'" (Variety).

Save America with petty crime? what?
We got enough petty crime, Rosanne.
Well, petty crime today is misgendering some asshole. Based on Variety article seems the petty crime referred to is part of the package "saving the United States from drug gangs and China.” The protagonist dabbles in growing and selling drugs like cannabis and magic mushrooms."
Potty mouth like that, gonna give Netflix some gen-u-ine competition fer sure.
'S why I don' watch no Netflix.
did not know Roseanne was farmer in Hawaii
so she is vulcanibilly invulnerable
Roseanne who?
broken link?
Wikipedia: "In 2007, Barr purchased the 2,212-square-foot ranch-style house and 46-acre property sight unseen known as Hidden Hamakua Farm in Honokaa/Hamakua on the Big Island, Hawaii for $1.78 million. She moved there from Los Angeles full-time in 2010."
I think petty crime includes not reporting any/all income from side gigs and tips.
I don't see how it could possibly be worse than what Hollywood puts out these days.
I'm thinking it'll be an update to the absurdist satirical documentaries "Reno 911" and "Portlandia." If you've ever visited Reno, Nevada or Portland, Oregon...
Those who complain about Trump might remember that Roseanne ran for president in 2012. She would have been even more of a disrupter. According to Wikipedia, though, Roseanne actually voted for Obama that year though. No conviction. Not enough follow-through to even write in her own name. But a TV show with her as president might actually not have been terrible.
Tony Soprano retires to Hawaii ... and comes out of retirement ... sort of.
Green Acres is the place for me....
I've heard her on a few podcasts recently, and she's very funny. If it works, I wouldn't be surprised.
That fuck-off fat suburban thing is still money?
"broken link?"
Thanks. Fixed.
Potty mouthed Pineapple Princess. But good for her. I'll let somebody else watch her show. As I recall she grabbed her crotch at a San Diego Padres game when she forgot the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner.
I like rosanne barr as a person. Never really thought she was funny. So, Good luck to her, and I hope her show is a hit. I'm not watching, but then I never am.
"They save America with guns, the Bible, petty crime and alcoholism. It's kind of like the Coen brothers thing. The show is "a cross between The Roseanne Show and The Sopranos."
So we now have and addition to the Coen's "Knucklehead Trilogy" - The Big Labowski, The Odessey and Burn After Reading. "Saving America" turns the trilogy into a tetralogy.
Will her show be like the rap video she recently starred in?

I don't think she forgot the lyrics, the rendition was so bad and off-key that the crowd booed her off the field, so she gave them a crotch-grab FU.
Guns, petty crime, and alcoholism are on TV all the time.
The disruptive thing she's introducing is the Bible.
Her singing was meant to be car-crash humor akin to a bad performer on a reality TV show such as American Idol. Her joke flopped.
"Shameless" has already been a series, ten years on Showtime.
