Inside ABC

I was involved in the team of writers responsible for the new season of Roseanne, set to air in March, but ABC gave us absolutely no freedom when it came to the show's content. We were specifically told that the show must take an anti-Trump standing, painting Trump's supporters as a group of incompetent morons and racists.
When we complained about this decision, we were informed that these topics weren't a choice and that if we didn't include these references, our jobs would be terminated and we could face blacklisting. It quickly became apparent that almost everyone at ABC involved with the show was completely against these decisions, even most of the actors.
We were informed that the scripts were entirely changed, enforcing the notion that you have to be a racist, gun slinging redneck to support Trump. However, ABC's lawyers ended up stepping in and cutting a number of scenes from the scripts, including one where a character shows off a Klan outfit and states that he purchased it at Trump Tower, and another scene where a character mentions his gun before stating "I'd really like to try it out when I see those Nation of Islam folks near my house."
The cuts were made because they were seen as potentially offensive towards minorities despite being included by the higher ups at ABC.

You can pretty much sum up one scene in the first episode as the following:
>Roseanne thanks god during grace for "making America great again"
>all the other characters visibly cringe and make angry faces
>Laurie Metcalf's immediately replies "You're looking very fit, apparently all that weight you lost was the good Roseanne"
>[audience laff]
>Rossane attempts to justify her support for Trump by stating how she almost lost her house under the previous administration
>Laurie Metcalf replies "Have you seen the news, now things are worse"
>"Not on the real news"
>[Audience laff]
>"Oh look Dan. Russian"
>[Audience Laff]

Those are pretty much direct quotes from the first episode.

Wow, that;s disgusting.

WOWWW! ABC INSIDER HERE GUYS BELIEVE ME FOR NO REASON AT ALL!

I’ve been getting some very painful cramps in my lower right abdomen, think I should get it checked out?

Thanks OP. I believe you, as this kind of thing would not shock me. When will progressives wake up? Rosanne knows better. She has fought as a voice for those who are victims of mind control and SRA. She is hyper liberal, but could not imagine her going along with this.

Damn I’d love to know if you were telling the truth but I don’t watch garbage

wait, this roseanne?

Disney is the primary peddler of degeneracy. Not surprised. 666 is in the logo ffs

Why do people put up with this? If every single person walked out the power would be in your hands and not the JEWISH FAGGOTS WHO ARE DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY

Literally never seen, nor heard of this show, but this sounds very plausible.

This is big boys. Get it out on all the social media. It will spread like "wildfire"!

I thought she was pro Trump? Or anti Hillary at the very least

Roseanne Barre looked depressed in interviews about this show.

She supports Trump and hates PC culture. Why she did this show doesnt make sense because they turned her son into a tranny.

Maybe she is broke?

what letters?

Just saw the first 15 min of an snl rerun.
>segment 1: don jr is evil, eric trump is dumb, and they collude with assange
>segment 2: batman is portrayed like a racist cop when hosting dinners for inner city
>segment 3: missing obama and blackman/white girl

I don't watch much TV anymore. This garbage is recycled on every channel, every medium, every genre, and it's backfiring on them with cord cutting. Say it with me: it's okay to laugh at ourselves not spew unfunny political talking points masquerading as "humor".

Fellow writing user, you're right. I think there is way more pressure these days to fit The Narrative.

I work in the animation industry in France and the UK, and even we are starting to get weird notes from Producers about "sensitive topics," that we shouldn't bring forward.

What were these sensitive topics? A boy character taking the lead in a group. Making fun of his sister character, etc...

I am waiting for the dam to finally break. This can't be sustainable, can it?

She was, but she also needs royalties. This happens a lot, actors will be forced into something they don't agree though threats.
Either the studio cuts off royalties, or sues the actor for using the studio's intellectual property. If you fuck up the legal side of things on a production, a single studio can end up owning the rights to your name and appearance.

...

Holy shit I forgot about this movie. Thanks for the laugh.

Look at the official logo with the cursive. The loops make the 6s. Corporate logos do this all the time because people are unoriginal and just borrow off old symbols i.e. the vesica piscis, winged suns, etc.

I've no clue why anyone even wants to watch a new Roseanne, when they pulled that horse shit depressing ending with the original in the first place. And it really looks like the new one is a sequel and not a reboot.

They should have done my Rosanne high school prequel.

Fuck off, you and the rest of your politically motivated writing team. Done with you folks and going to expose all of your faults.

You may have gingivitis, you're already dead.

Please list the job title of all the people you directly interacted with that were involved with this editorial direction.
Your greentext is a nice way to verify as long as there haven't been any sneak screeners or screen tests so far. Too assed to check. Another one from a later episode would be stronger as long as you feel safe it won't out you.
Disney is ground zero of the media cancer.

It's because spineless people work in acting. Their job is to seek approval by acting fake. How can you renegotiate name rights and content when there's a million of you ready to replace you, and you lack the balls to unionize effectively? You'd think with these celebrities commanding such large audiences they would be able to gather sympathy for their cause. Teachers in schools do it better loool

Well thanks for the heads up user. I'm just going to stay away from the show bc I grew up with the original which I still love. PC culture and the subversive left really dug a trench.

ABC IS FAKE NEWS

I don't get the point of this. Do they think this will get millienials to watch a roseanne reboot? They're gonna alienate the only people who still watch broadcast television!

ABC sounds like the cucked Walt Disney Corp. First Star Wars, now this!

SJWs will want to love the new Rosanne as progressives are desperate to tie themselves to blue collar working class shit. Progressives still see themselves as underdogs. Disgusting filth.

they been at this game for decades desu

They should do a brady bunch rerun with the same people playing the kids, and some old people playing the parents/alice. The difference is they are now all old af, and all the kids lost their jobs so they're now neets back at home again.

Terrible LARP, OP, take this fanfic back to Plebbit

Disney OWNS ABC, its no coincidence

>still watching the boob tube

And (((who))) runs that comapny? Rreally made me thunk

Yeah because it's probably some super creative guy that just decided instead of fucking around with some porn tonight, he would make up this elaborate story and include actual lines from a make-believe show that surely won't air at any point in the future.

many of the faggots you say were against this loathsome political fuckery are already rich as hell and most wouldn't fall below upper middle class in most places in the country were they blacklisted, cashed out and moved. how much fucking money do you need? quit. accept the blacklist and kick up a fuss in alt media.GROW SOME FUCKING BALLS AND STAND UP!!!!

Not going to give a job description or title for the simple reason that I'm ditching ABC in a month and picking up work with a new production at Comedy Central. The last thing I want is to get a nice heavy blacklist before officially becoming Viacom company property, so no.

Here's a VO file from the shared FTP

If you want more, just ask.

Cringey larp attempt, but if true no one’s gonna watch this show

Sadly it can. Especially in Western Europe. There is always a point of no return, and they have passed it.

Europe sucks anyways

>Rossane attempts to justify her support for Trump by stating how she almost lost her house under the previous administration

You forgot the last season they won the lottery.

>You forgot the last season they won the lottery.
It must be retconned some way, because the final episode also revealed Dan didn't "go to California," he fucking DIED.

yeah i don't think so op fagget, norm macdonald is one of the head writers, so no.

kek, I didn't watch, the lottery shit was bad enough

not your job description
I want to know the job titles of the people delivering these orders
Comedy Central is just as bad if not worse
The Opposition
Daily Show
Jim Jeffries
It's all establishment garbage
I hope you are working on independent projects so you don't have to shill for schlomo some day

Money runs out eventually

>vocaroo.com/i/s0QJT1xBKz5Z
you got me excited user
I thought that fuckstick was actually dead

i can't believe she doesn't get pretty healthy residuals from reruns of whatever shit shes made before

>Maybe she is broke?

Estimated Net Worth: $80 Million

Kek already spoke on this subject

Same

I watch WAY too much TV. I can always notice the immoral messages in the shows, and point them out and know it's lack of moral correctness, but I still watch :/ it's my choice so feel no sympathy for me like you shouldn't feel bad for a drug addict or a murderer.

leftists have completely infected every facet of the entertainment industry this comes as no surprise to any of us, thankfully the awakening process is happening at an increasingly accelerated rate so hopefully we won't have to suffer through this much longer.

Pic related, it's another production file.

The last season isn't mentioned once, though her husband finds a script in a garage and says how it never got published because it "Killed off the best character."

There's not a single person behind these decisions, we'd all get called up once a week after the producers reviewed the progress, they'd then make "suggestions" which usually involved tossing everything in the fucking trash.
Comedy central offers a lot of freedom though compared to most networks, if you can get the backing of a single figure at the company, you're likley to get funding.
They're essentially like YouTube at the moment, funding content for their platform while paying little attention to what's actually being produced.
Again, I just want to explain what's happening behind these shows rather than start some sort of massive revolt against ABC.
The show will flop, their ratings will plummet after the first episode and the marketing will probably be cut before the season ends.

I don't blame her, and I don't think she's in this for the money.
It's blatantly obvious what happened, and I already explained in a previous post.

I've been looking forward to this show. I'll remember this post when I watch the first episode.

My guess is they saw how "extra" and crispy "Will and Grace" got re: Trump for the revival and thought that's the winning ticket. Keep in mind ABC/Disney Television Group is full of the same geniuses who thought the original Toy Story needed "edge" and kept requesting more and more cringe-worthy Evil Woody, then fucking hated everything they saw when the Pixar staff delivered on it.

It's network television. They'll follow any major "trendline" until they crash the fucking applecart, then blame someone else. Probably you. Best of luck at Comedy Central, man.

>it never got published
>except it did

Taping over history, as usual

>based

heard Roseanne is also gonna have a transgender grandson

Hey OP nice thread! Its a shame ABC can't just keep their head out of the way and let the writers and Rosanne run that shit. Fox hews conservative but they published Seth MacFarland who pushes a whole bunch of liberal shit including episodes where they bag on Fox, Simpsons have done it too I think. Why can't the liberals handle any dissension? Blegh.

You'd think Disney would hew more conservative given that CBS and Colbert and NBC with SNL go 100% "LEE DRUMPHFF HITLER" 24/7, I don't know much about entertainment though, only that I dated a girl who once who moved to LA to be a screenwriter, I visited her up there a few time and every time was just reminded about what a dump LA is, overcrowded dirty you couldn't pay me to live there.

ABC owns Hulu.

Hulu just laid off 150 employees and restaffed with 300 refugee-tier minorities working for half pay
