The scandals involving Will & Grace bothered me and I wish they wouldve just shut down the sitcom sooner rather than embarrass themselves. My opinion, seasons 1-4 of this show are absolute genius and I adore and watch them regularly. However, the move to marry off Grace was the beginning of the turmoil and it just never recovered. There are a couple a highlights, like the live episode from Karens bathroom in season 8 which was akin the the relationships early on in the run. Also, the handling of Rosies death in the reincarnation of the show are highlights. But it makes me so so sad how this show was destroyed. Very similar to HIMYM which you guys did address in this episode.

All offense intended: no one is really watching _The Connors_, just like no one was really watching the last four seasons of _Two and a Half Men_. In the latter case, they moved the show to a day and time where it literally had no real competition, and in the former, they have used dropping general television ratings (do to people abandoning it for streaming sites and such) as well as long term contracts that guaranteed the show would air a certain number of years no matter the ratings. Multiple shows have obviously used that second thing, as there are clear examples from entire networks having done so.

I don't get how the episode in Seinfeld is supposed to be problematic. I also did imagine it was my country's flag but I really don't see the problem, it was part of a COMEDY, things like that happen there. There is no deeper meaning or racism involved, it could have been any flag But I guess movies are gonna have to picture white flags then, although that has a meaning too. And so do black ones.
But Americans really have a problem with flags. Never, NEVER allowing their flag to touch the ground

The Friends entry is more about Agassi than it is about the show. Seems kind of a cheat to me. What about all of the kids in Diffrent Strokes having issues? Mackenzie Phillips getting fired from One Day at a Time? Valerie Harper getting fired from Valeries Family? Norman Fell & Audra Lindley being promised to come back to Threes Company if their spin-off failed (it did and the promise was broken. Or Last Man Standing getting canceled with rumors it was because Tim Allen was too pro-Trump?

in my opinion when a main character is fired or dies thats a sign to end most shows especially if its done after many seasons replacing them rarely works and having their character die just changes the plot every show is different for example friends wouldnt of worked without a character or a actor change so it would of been cancelled fresh prince worked well enough to stay but abit disappointing 8 simple rules should of gone after paul's death

I loved Roseanne I've watched the series over and over again. It was funny and also dealt with problems that we may experience in our own lives.
I don't except Roseannes behaviour and because of this she ruined the new series. It's such a shame because the series was great and the cast were perfect for the series.
Why do people say such horrible things without thinking?
P. s. love your videos

Im surprised Step by Step wasnt on here. Sasha Mitchell, who portrayed Cody, Franks nephew, was fired from the show when he was arrested and stood trial for domestic abuse. However, it was later revealed that his wife was the abuser and he was trying to save their kids from her abuse at the time he was arrested. He lost a lucrative career because of his arrest and conviction. And it was all a lie.

Laurie from that 70s show. one of her arrest happened in a town in North Carolina where I worked/lived near at the time. it was sad.
I'm glad that movies, TV shows, etc aren't sitting back as much these days and letting those who SA in any form, bigots, etc be on things even though it's sad it takes fellow coworkers or the public saying/do something for producers act on it

I hate HIMYM final like robin and Ted doesn't make sense, he spend a lot moving on and finally stop loving her and Robin just didn't love Ted the same way. It broke my heart that the mother died but it make sense that's why he is telling the story to their children but it's horrible that Ted and Robin got together like it won't work.

Everyone thinks it was the tweet which got Roseanne fired. She was already on a short leash. During the shows original run, she was a pain in the ass. She hired and fired staff on a whim. Forced her then coked out husband, Tom Arnold on to the show.
This time around network execs werent having none of it.

I don't really know the story behind Jo Marie Payton leaving Family Matters but I did not care for her replacement (Judyann Elder) on that show. She's not a bad actress and was just fine as Gina's mom on Martin, but her casting on Family Matters is some of the worst casting I've ever seen.

I had no idea Andre Agassi was that jealous and unhinged! He destroyed all of his trophies due to a fictional scene that was meant to be ridiculous and over the top. Glad Brooke moved on, because imagine what he might do in response to something more serious!

I never understood the outrage of the Puerto Rico Day Parade episode. Kramer is a bumbling goofball. His stomping of the burning flag was not out of malice, and the anger of characters in the show was funny because the situation was interpreted out of context.

The original Aunt Viv had such a level of class and dignity to her that was so natural. Hubert fit the role perfectly. She was also an educator who possessed a strength of character and was successful in her own right. She added to her husband.

James Evans being killed off Good Times because he voiced his opinion about playing too hard on stereotypes. So they used more stereotypes to get rid of him when had the character killed by gang members and made Florida a single mother

8: 59 Roseanne tried to blame her blatant racism on taking Ambien, leading Sanofi to issue a statement on Twitter:
While all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication.

Amazing video ms mojo, fantastic job. After Roseanne was fired from her, I try to get to the Conners give up after few episodes because felt more like a drama then a sitcom not that funny too. Not too without Roseanne too.

HIMYM was a boring sitcom period the finale literally sucked! I was kinda upset they changed Aunt Vivian. I liked the original one. Charlie Sheen literally seemed like a asshole. Like a true Diva!

How is Puerto Rico Day Parade #1? You said it yourself, it's not even memorable and it's still on Netflix. This barely should have been an dishonorable mention. How is Roseanne behind it?

Laurie foreman was such a tragic scenario. The replacement was never a good one and I still think they should have written the character out instead of having another actress step in.

What about on Seinfeld, when the actor who played Kramer (Michael Richards) went on a drunken racist rant?
This might have been after the show went off the air, though.
