Roseanne Barr may have been down, but she was never out. The Jury in San Luis Obispo County awarded her $208 million from ABC. The 12-person panel agreed with her legal team: The network straight-up stole her show.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe good people of Sanlubop know what\u2019s up,\u201d said attorney Thomas Bagger, \u201cABC used some lame excuse to evict a good woman from her own show and handed it to the supporting cast. They wanted a liberal show and they knew how to get there.\u201d<\/p>\n
The producers of \u201cThe Conners don\u2019t deny that they really liked the direction they took the show after Roseanne\u2019s departure.<\/p>\n
\u201cLead writer Joe Barron really took some personal satisfaction in offing her as a pill junkie,\u201d said Executive Producer Art Tubolls, \u201che thought it was hilarious that a conservative woman was the brunt of every joke for the first 4 episodes.\u201d<\/p>\n
They may have laughed then, but they\u2019re not laughing now. The Jury gave ABC one week to come up with the money. A popular show in the area, \u201cThe Jury\u201d hears cases from both sides presented by internet commenters. So far, in 207 cases, they\u2019ve found for 17 plaintiffs for a total of $709 billion in money they\u2019d sue for if it was them. The show has 3.2 million followers on YouTube, and this just officially became the dumbest storyline of all time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
