Roseanne Barr Plots Long-Awaited TV Comeback — Working on Comedy Series About Gun-Toting Alabama Farmers

Roseanne Barr is plotting her television comeback.

Seven years after Roseanne was cancelled by ABC for referring to former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett as the offspring of the “Muslim Brotherhood & Planet of the Apes,” Barr is working on a show she says is “a cross between The Roseanne Show and The Sopranos.”

In an interview with Variety, Barr explained that the show will center on an Alabama farming family who are “saving the United States from drug gangs and China.”

She also revealed that while the show will be offered to Hollywood studios, she will not be deterred by their rejection and is willing to try and make it herself.

It’s silly and out there. [It will contain] very offensive ideas and a lot of swearing. I live with my daughter and her husband and their six children on a farm. And they have goats running through their house and stuff. It’s based on my life as a farmer in Hawaii.

[…]

They save America with guns, the Bible, petty crime and alcoholism. It’s kind of like the Coen brothers thing. If Hollywood doesn’t buy it, then I’m just gonna make it myself.

Does anybody in [Hollywood] like America or the people who watch TV? Because the people who watch TV would really like to see a show where working-class people win against the enemies of America.

Roseanne also weighed in on Donald Trump’s election victory and said that Hollywood should work with her in order to help reach out to the millions of Americans they have worked so hard to alienate:

Hollywood has made itself irrelevant to the American people. If they want to survive, they should work with the new president. American people elected him in an overwhelming victory.

They should get back in touch with [them] and make some money, which I don’t know if they do or not ’cause they’ve proven to be ideologues rather than [business people]. What shocks me is the fact that they prefer to lose money and then explain that to the shareholders who apparently have no problem with that.

[…]

I don’t give a fuck either way. I’d like to get paid handsomely to bring another shit fucking network back from doom as I’ve done twice for ABC. But I just don’t see how they would keep their nose out of my business. We’ll see. If not, I’ll just go somewhere else and put it on my own website.

The Trump administration regards me as a loose cannon, which I am. I’m not a party line person for anyone or anything except myself. The Trump staff or whoever runs it, they’re a little afraid of me. I am a loudmouth comedian, so I understand it. But it really hurt my feelings. But what are you gonna do?

Last week, Roseanne also showed off her creative side with by collaborating on Tom MacDonald’s song “Daddy’s Home” ahead of Trump’s inauguration.

Let’s hope this latest project gets off the ground.
