I hate to think of Tom Arnold as the voice of reason. But he does make some solid points in this Hollywood Reporter article, namely that Roseanne tweeted as an act of self-sabotage and a way of getting out of the show. He said if the show went to a second season she would have found another way to wreck it. Also he says he told ABC that they should have taken her phone or at least dictate tweets to an assistant in order to avoid fatal damage. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/tom-arnold-roseanne-cancellation-she-wanted-it-happen-1115950 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
