I am not surprised, and nor do I have any hard feelings over the ABC Television Network (owned by the Walt Disney Company, who had purchased it from Capital Cities Communications, who, in turn; had purchased it from founder Leonard Goldenson) having canceled the revised iteration of Roseanne Barr’s sitcom over the insidious comments that Roseanne Barr herself had posted on the Social website Twitter about Bill & Hillary Clinton’s daughter Chelsea, and about a former aide of Barack Obama during both of his terms as President of the United States.

Even during the original run of Roseanne Barr’s sitcom on the ABC Television Network from 1988-1997, I didn’t have any interest in her or her well-regarded and very successful sitcom; and I would have much rather watched whatever was on the CBS Television network-including Murphy Brown, the television program titled “Murder, She Wrote” starring Angela Lansbury; and Diagnosis: Murder starring Dick Van Dyke and his son Barry.

And also during the time of the original run of Roseanne Barr’s sitcom, I would have rather watched the original incarnation of the CBS This Morning News show with Harry Smith, Kathleen Sullivan (after CBS had hired her away from ABC), Paula Zahn, Connie Chung, Jane Robelot; and Mark McEwen with the Weather, instead of Good Morning America with Charlie Gibson, Joan Lunden, and Spencer Christian with the Weather; and most certainly instead of NBC’s Today Show. And I would have much rather watched the CBS Evening News with Dan Rather (who, in turn; had succeeded Walter Cronkite as the anchor of the CBS Evening News in 1981 after Cronkite’s 20 year-long tenure as the anchor of the CBS Evening News beginning in 1961) than ABC’s World News Tonight with Peter Jennings; and most certainly instead of NBC’s Nightly News with Tom Brokaw (who, in turn; had succeeded John Chancellor as the anchor of NBC’s Nightly News as a consolation prize to keep Brokaw from moving to ABC News by the way of Roone Arledge trying to make Brokaw an offer that he couldn’t refuse, to try and tempt Brokaw to move to ABC News).

Note: Roone Arledge had also tried to lure Dan Rather away from CBS News and over to ABC News, and NBC had tried to do the same; as Bill Small, the longtime head of the CBS News Washington D.C bureau and later the second in charge for the entire CBS News department in New York; was upset that he had been passed up for the job as the head of the entire CBS News Department in circa 1978-1979 in favor of a man whose name is Pete Salant. So an upset Bill Small had left CBS altogether to take the position as the head of NBC’s News department, had already taken Roger Mudd and Marvin Kalb away from CBS with him; and had also tried to take Dan Rather to NBC with him; all as Cronkite had been forced into retirement in 1981 due to the mandatory retirement age that CBS had in place at the time; but the attempts on Rather by ABC and NBC had failed as Rather had edged out Roger Mudd just prior to his departure for NBC, and also Bob Schieffer for the position as the anchor for the CBS Evening News.

I never cared about Roseanne Barr having originally came from a lowly Trailer Park lifestyle, an upbringing akin to Tonya Harding’s upbringing; and her lowlife personality being the reason as to why her sitcom was successful amongst those who live in rural areas within the entire United States, and people who live in Trailer Parks throughout the United States just like how she had done for most of her adult life prior to her successful sitcom making her rich and famous. The one and only aspect of Roseanne Barr that I ever cared about is her being of mixed Russian and Ukrainian descent on her father’s side; and her last name having originally been Borisofsky prior to her paternal grandfather immigrating to the United States from Eastern Europe by the way of Ellis Island, and changing the family’s surname to ‘Barr’ in the process.

In my Arthur book and movie for adults, I write about in the book, and would cast Roseanne Barr in the movie as a member of Dick Purtan’s morning radio show and her being one of “Purtan’s People” due to her being as incessantly and wildly zany as Dick Purtan himself.

Arthur Movie Geared Towards Adults And Not Children

CBS News

If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you’re already well aware of the fact that I’ve just about had it with all of these stupid reality television shows that have graced broadcast and cable television since the beginning of the 21st Century.

The Bachelor and Bachelorette reality television shows that have been networked on the ABC Television Network since the early 2000’s are no exception.

I have had it with all of these stupid reality television shows just as much as I have had it with these ridiculous Undercut haircuts, these so-called “man buns”; and tattoos.

Participant on the current season of the Bachelorette television show (as of the time of writing this post) Mike Renner, a former American Football player turned American Football analyst; should not only be barred from having long hair and occasionally wearing his hair in a ponytail or one of those ridiculous so-called “man buns”, but also needs to be transformed from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight, needs to comprehend that the automotive world as a whole, amateur/ham radio; and the engineering side of commercial radio and television are all more important than the world of sports and fitness; should also be forced to listen to Adult Contemporary, Jazz, and Easy Listening music; and last, should be barred from dressing to the nines.

Participant on the current season of the Bachelorette television show (as of the time of writing this post) Leandro Dottavio, a Baseball standout at UCLA who had also excelled in Swimming, and is currently employed as a motion picture stuntman; should also barred from having long hair and occasionally wearing his hair in a ponytail or one of those ridiculous so-called “man buns”, but also needs to be transformed from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight, needs to comprehend that the automotive world as a whole, amateur/ham radio; and the engineering side of commercial radio and television are all more important than the world of sports and fitness-including icky, yucky Baseball and icky, yucky competitive Swimming. Leandro Dottavio should also be forced to listen to Adult Contemporary, Jazz, and Easy Listening music; and last, should be barred from dressing to the nines.

Leandro Dottavio should be as hefty as the male figure pictured on the far right:

Participant on the current season of the Bachelorette television show (as of the time of writing this post) Chase Vergason, a Baseball standout at the University of South Carolina, should be barred from having a ridiculous Undercut haircut, also needs to be transformed from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight, needs to comprehend that the automotive world as a whole, amateur/ham radio; and the engineering side of commercial radio and television are all more important than the world of sports and fitness-including icky, yucky Baseball. Chase Vergason should also be forced to listen to Adult Contemporary, Jazz, and Easy Listening music; and last, should be barred from dressing to the nines.

Participant on the current season of the Bachelorette television show (as of the time of writing this post) Blake Horstmann, a Basketball and Baseball standout at his local High School, should also be barred from having a ridiculous Undercut haircut, also needs to be transformed from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight, needs to comprehend that the automotive world as a whole, amateur/ham radio; and the engineering side of commercial radio and television are all more important than the world of sports and fitness-including icky, yucky Basketball; icky, yucky Baseball; and icky, yucky American Football. Blake Horstmann should also be forced to listen to Adult Contemporary, Jazz, and Easy Listening music; and last, should be barred from dressing to the nines.

Even more examples of how I’ve just about had it with Undercut haircuts.

These ridiculous Undercut and Pompadour haircuts just need to go away entirely.

Also, this is yet another example of how I’ve also just about had it with tattoos.

Like Indy Car drivers James Hinchcliffe, Charlie Kimball, Robert Wickens, and Ed Carpenter; fellow Indy car driver Josef Newgarden needs to be transformed from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight; and Josef Newgarden should also be barred from having an Undercut haircut and dressing to the nines.

Also, Josef Newgarden needs to comprehend that the automotive world as a whole, the world of amateur/ham radio; and the engineering side of commercial radio and television are all more important than the world of sports and fitness (including the icky, yucky sports of Basketball and Baseball).

Like Indy Car drivers James Hinchcliffe, Charlie Kimball, and Robert Wickens; fellow Indy car driver Ed Carpenter needs to be transformed from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight; and Ed Carpenter should also be barred from having an Undercut haircut and dressing to the nines.

Also, Ed Carpenter needs to comprehend that the automotive world as a whole, the world of amateur/ham radio; and the engineering side of commercial radio and television are all more important than the world of sports and fitness (including the icky, yucky sport of Basketball).

Canadian Diver and Television Personality James Haskell needs to be transformed from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight, needs to comprehend that the automotive world as a whole, the world of amateur/ham radio; and the engineering side of commercial radio and television are all more important than the world of sports and fitness.

Also, James Haskell should be barred from dressing to the nines.

James Haskell should be forced to listen to Adult Contemporary, Jazz; and Easy Listening music.

And, James Haskell should have his tattoos removed.

Furthermore, James Haskell should be barred from having an Undercut haircut.

The Target Corporation, having always aired zany commercials geared towards young people since the late 1990’s; had ran this commercial with a shirtless, muscular guy with curly, blonde hair in 2004.

This muscular actor with curly, blonde hair needs to be transformed from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight.

Further examples of how I’ve just about had it with tattoos.

I totally agree with the author of this article on the so-called “millennial” generation of people.
