WKRLEM TV Roseanne Scamardella in all her glory...plus Natalie Wood

Sixty brought up old memories when he mentioned Roseanne Roseannadanna.

You see the real Roseanne was the one and only Roseanne Scamardella and we actually have a connection. You see she was my next door neighbor on President Street in 1975. She was married to Assemblyman Mike Pesce at the time and was becoming a big deal on TV news. She was among the first Italian Americans who kept their ethnic sounding name and were being featured on TV at the time. Along with Jerry Rivers and John Johnson she was the face of diverisity on the old Eyewitness News

I don't have a lot of stories about her. Occasionally I took a delivery for her from the station and they moved away not too much later. Pesce went on to become a big deal judge after they divorced. In fact I think he was one of the most important judges in New York State as the administrative judge for Brooklyn and Staten Island. He just retired after getting tons of bribes.

The kicker to the story is one day this woman comes in to shop in the store. As we are talking she asks me if I know Judge Pesce. I said sure in a trivial way but I knew his wife better. She says but I am his wife. I said no I meant his first wife.

I never miss an opportunity to say the wrong thing.

Just like Roseanne Roseannadanna.

Roseanne Barr lashes out at TV son following cancellatio

By Tamar Lapin

 New York Post May 30, 2018

Roseanne Barr lashed out at her sitcom son Wednesday for throwing her “under the bus” — after he “vehemently” condemned her racist tweetstorm.

Michael Fishman, who played DJ Conner in the original series and its 2018 revival, tweeted that Tuesday was “one of the hardest” days in his life and that he was “devastated” — not for the end of the show, but for everyone who “poured their hearts and souls” into it.

“Roseanne” was abruptly canceled by ABC Tuesday, after Barr compared former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett to an ape and called billionaire George Soros a “Nazi” who “turned on his fellow Jews.”

“I condemn these statements vehemently,” Fishman wrote, adding that his character was “designed to represent the inclusive nature of my views.”

But Barr was having none of it.

“I created the platform for that inclusivity and you know it. ME. You throw me under the bus. Nice!” she responded Wednesday morning.

"Roseanne" canceled for commiting truth.

Roseanne got her show canceled today. ABC and Disney were looking for an excuse. Even though it was the highest rated show of the season on any network it had to be canceled because it treated President Trump fairly and illustrated the type of people who voted for him. It had storylines about how illegal immigrant construction workers were taking jobs away from native born Americans. It had to be stopped. They just needed a hook to do it.

The found it in a joke.

Now I am not stranger to being deleted and censored for making monkey jokes. It offends some peoples sensibility. Some people scold me. Some people call it a mess. They complain about political correctness but want to impose their sensibility on humor. Because you can't make monkey jokes. Or offend Muslims.

If you watch the excellent show Mrs. Masiel you see a portrayal of Lenny Bruce. How he got arrested for telling jokes that they tell this day on Nickelodeon. All your big libs shake their head and say how it is terrible. Well now they do the same thing about racial jokes or jokes about Muslims.

It is a short walk to a Tommy Robinson situation. That's the guy who was streaming a facebook live outside the Muslim grooming trail in England and was scooped up and put in prison for 13 months. In a minute. No trial. No hearing. Just a revocation of a suspended sentence and incarceration.

This is going to come here.

ABC/Disney owns ESPN. They decided that in order to fight the accusation that they are an out of control social justice warrior network that they had to hire Keith Olberman. Who consistently calls the President a Hitler and a Nazi. But he has a new show.  Get woke go broke.

I hope someone is smart enough to pick up the show. I don't know if that can happen because some ot the ultra  liberal weenie cast might not want to be on the show now. I think if they throw enough money at them they will do it. Money talks and bullshit walks. So if FOX picks it up the show can go on. 

You don't monkey with success.

Or do you?
