When they revived Roseanne, they ignored the       ridiculous last years.

As well as being overly sexed up, it also       somehow manages to be childish. It's a family show at its core, but       families include teenagers and parents. It shouldn't be *just* for       people whose minds aren't fully developed.              Don't forget that this critique is coming from someone currently       marathoning My Little Pony. :\                     --       Saturday Doctor Who watch party 1:00 p.m. Pacific time              This week: The War Games (pts 6-10)       https://discord.gg/Fd6Znkme?event=1393948552253935706              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
