This Roseanne thing is interesting. Ordinarily, a recycled sitcom would attract around 8 million viewers, a nice-sized audience these days.
More than 18 million viewers tuned into ABC to watch Roseanne on Tuesday night, a stunning number.
The reason is that Ms. Barr herself has been somewhat supportive of President Trump. She even told Trump-basher Jimmy Kimmel to zip it on his own show.
So it seems a good number of Trump supporters decided to also support Roseanne, leading to the ratings victory.
Hollywood cannot be pleased by this because it has an important political implication. Tonight on the No Spin News, I will analyze the politics of Roseanne and what the show is signaling.
We’ll also look at Jeb Bush disparaging Donald Trump by involving his children.
It all begins at 7 eastern time. Hope to see you then.
