It's funny how Libs always freak out about FOX being a conservative news channel, and how big of a slanted joke they are, all while ignoring the fact that literally every other channel is Liberally biased.

They were just waiting for something to happen to end that show.

It was too successful for them considering the politics it was siding
with.


They can say ABC and technically they are correct, but they got the
immediate word from Disney to dump it.

Damn...The prices at the Magic Kingdom have been climbing faster
than they can lay off ESPN employees, I wonder what will happen
now that they've lost another money maker.

I ain't going above the current 125.00 per day.
Did you actually watch the show?

Roseanne was fired for comparing a black actress to a monkey. Obviously unacceptable and she deserves to be punished.

But never forget...

If you're going to call someone a monkey, make sure they're a white Republican male.

Know the rules of the game.

I always liked that they made fun of his ears and played into the Curious George narrative with Bush.

Plus, as your post implies, he makes a lot of facial expressions.

Here's the thing. Trump voters are pro gay, pro black, pro women, pro Mexican, pro American. You can be all these things and be a Republican. Roseanne is not a Republican, however. She considers herself a liberal. She just hates how far left her party has gone.

I never had a problem with it. Thought it was funny. Don't remember anyone being outraged.

Ok, guys, time to reign in the politics talk. Go to the PF for that. I let it go because this is clearly a political topic, but it needs to stop eventually...

I guess the same could have been done with Obama. He has the ears for it too.

But there is more of a stigma with comparing a black person to a primate of any kind.

when we saw Black Panther, my gf's response to one of the tribes represented by silverbacks was surprise that it wasn't considered too sensitive.

If the spinoff focuses on Gilbert and her kids, this won't last long. Maybe the balance between Goodman and Gilbert can keep the show's vibe, but firing the star of the show usually doesn't bode well for the show's future.

I do tend to agree, but...
