There was a time Roseanne was fresh, new and funny. She had a unique point of view -- that of a middle class, bored, angry housewife. And that point of view is what enabled a network to build a show around her comedy. I happened open this latest Roseanne venture and was shocked. What happened to her talent? Seriously, how can you slip that much? I don't know what has happened to her. If this is any indication of her act...wow. Boy has her comedy gone downhill. There is not a smart joke. Nothing is humor. It is all bitter spewing of anger. There was a time her bitterness was funny. Sorry no longer funny. Watching this is like listening to a foul mouthed friend complain too long. While she has not lost her edge -- she has lost her sense of humor. I find that sad. Even if you WERE a Roseanne fan at one time, this mess will not bring you back into her fan base. Just really too bad. There was a time that Roseanne was a brilliant comic. That time has passed.
