Halloween episode (Spoilers)

This should be interesting after Megan Kelly being fired.

I guess Sara Gilbert should be fired now for questioning why it's wrong.

Now she's not questioning it's wrong. She literally said the man was wrong. Will she apologize? Won't it be too late?

Another question. Why is it wrong for him to dress culturally but it's fine to appropriate a woman? Oh I hope I don't get banned for asking that!

That's it? It's over? Worst Conner Halloween ever!

I went online today to see if anyone was outraged, but I don't think anyone was watching. I felt guilty for watching. But as a fan of the Halloween specials I just had to.

Why is Becky so dumb? She used to be the smart one. I know she never went to college but still.

The one shining moment was when Dan told Darlene Roseanne would've fought the school tooth and nail on that PC crap. Pretty much sums it up doesn't it?

People aren't outraged because they're used to the whole "man bad and wrong, woman good and right" nonsense. That mantra has been going on for decades. The show has no idea were it wants to go without Roseanne. There is no backbone or heart and Darlene isn't interesting or brave enough to fill those shoes.

It's just 3 episodes so far .... I just finished watching Amazon's Homecoming and it was 10 hour long episodes and doesn't give you any idea what is going on until the last 2 or 3.

It's funny that the show rants against PC culture after firing Roseanne for making a joke on Twitter.

That whole costume moment at the school was eye roll worthy. It would have been interesting if they also showed the principal turning a Latin student away for dressing as Napolean or a black student being turned away for dressing as Mel Gibsons character in Braveheart.

I wasn't feeling it at all.

When I was a kid, I looked forward to the Halloween episodes of "Roseanne" during the show's original run. The one from "The Conners" was just plain stupid with all of that PC crap going on. I kept hoping it would get better but alas, it disappointed.

Roseanne is missing and it's showing. She made all of the holiday-themed episodes fun. Even John Goodman can't keep my interest and I love almost everything he's in.

I can't see how that episode would have been any better with Roseanne. Yeah, there is too much PC stuff because that was what Roseanne was all about.

Libs can question and say anything they want without any retribution.

The original "Roseanne" show had major problems with the writing when it first started. Roseanne Barr was considered difficult because she fought to make the show better and got rid of many of the writers. "The Conners" was a bad idea.

I think they're trying too hard to make this wreck work.

I watched the Halloween episode out of curiosity. Too preachy, not edgy and not funny. Most TV writers can't write comedy anymore.

Roseanne was reallly missed in this episode and in the previous week's episode.

Their was no practical joke this time trying to scare somebody, that is what made a lot of the old Roseanne Halloween episode great.

In the previous episode, you know Roseanne would've read the riot act to Blue for allowing Harris to have sex under her supervision.

As far as Becky goes, Lecy Goranson just can not act and should be replaced with Sarah Chalke. She's become a cartoon who makes no sense whatsoever.

Roseanne was the show. She was always the main creative force, head writer, show is obviously named after her. They really don't have a show without her. Best they can do is make a futile attempt to emulate her style. It ain't working so far.
