Question about the original Roseanne series

MarcB

MarcB

With the reruns of the original Roseanne being pulled off both the digi-net LAFF and the Viacom Cable Networks (Viacom was airing it on 4 of their networks TVLAND, Paramount Network, CMT, and LOGO) is this the first time since the original show ended that they show is not on the air anywhere? I remember years back reruns were on TBS on cable and local OTA stations such as FOX 61 in Hartford.

Also does anyone know if stores such as Walmart, Target, etc have pulled Roseanne DVDs? I bought Season One of Roseanne on DVD several years ago. It was $9.99 - it was the crappy Mill Creek release, which is of inferior quality. Now that Roseanne has been pulled from all the TV networks I regret not buying the other seasons on DVD back when I still had a job. It's messing up my Saturdays not having the Roseanne Marathon to watch on TVLAND any more. Granted I didn't watch it all day long every Saturday. I never thought to DVR any episodes. I thought the show airs a million times a day on Paramount Network, TVLAND, and CMT. Why bother DVRing it?
 
How about this idea?

Roseanne. The Cosby Show. Pee-Wee's Playhouse. Think of the possibilities!

I remember when Fox bought The Family Channel 20 years ago they aired Pee-Wee's Playhouse for a time in the early morning hours.

PWP was in reruns when it was pulled off of CBS, it would have gone off in September without the big misadventure in Sarasota, probably killed the syndication value though

I'm almost certain Pee Wee's Playhouse was also briefly on Adult Swim for a few weeks several years back. Pee Wee is doing just fine. Paul Rubens was in a couple TV shows (not as Pee Wee), he released a new Pee Wee movie on one of the streaming services a couple years ago, and he still makes appearances as Pee Wee.

I remember the Adult Swim reruns. In addition to those, him hosting You Don't Know Jack (with an alias) and the occasional guest spot on other game shows and sitcoms, there was that HBO special about 8 or 9 years ago where he re-created Pee Wee's Playhouse on stage with some of the original cast (or really good imitations).

Don't forget "Fat Albert," "I Spy," and any reruns of Tonight Shows where Cosby was the guest host. This might even be extended to reruns of SNL where Eddie Murphy parodied Bill Cosby.

Roseanne in her case it was a rant. Also Roseanne was called out for being a racist and having Alex Jones type beliefs here. I say GCN yes the same company that owns radio edition of Jones should have her as one of her pundits.

But the other two mentioned here they were called out for things that me too movement is currently fighting against.
