it really is too bad the media hates the right so much, in some alternate universe i could easily see Tim Dillion in a sitcom where his sister and her kids moves in and he's basically the gay archie bunker/bernie mac.
He's barely republican honestly. he's a true moderate, everyman type. his only real political position is "things are nuts out here" which is barely a position at all.
Roseanne is that she is unabashedly real.
every time i bring up her show, everyone from all walks of life as long as they're lower income and white said that was the most authentic show on tv. people forget when the show started hollywood hated her for being
too Left she was a proud non-college educated feminist and didn't care about male institutions. her show was leading the way on stuff like gays and lesbian issues, abortion, etc.
Even the revival was amazing, yeah they made jokes about muslims but it was obvious that she still treated them like people, but just more like mormons or other weird religious people instead of an unprotected class. Niggers ruined that show. it still addressed the issues, but anyone that remembers the behind the scenes of roseanne understood she really controlled the writers room in a way you'd only see from Sorkin or Sheridan years later. Which is also why the writers room was a lot different than most writers rooms in hollywood, its not like on even a feminist show like Murphy Brown you'd have a butcher, a fork life operator, a dancer from CATS, a groupie, a waitress from flyover country, and a party clown all working on a tv show. But its also why people like norm macdonald, tom arnold, chuck lorre, amy sherman paladino, joss whedon, deann heline, penelope spheeris even got a shot at working as writers in hollywood in the first place.
