I understand that Roseanne grew up across the street from Liberty Park in SLC. I'm surprised I never met her.

NeverMo's were a pretty small group in SLC in those days.

Could she have been Mo?

Did a quick search on "Roseanne Barr Mormon" and came up with indications that she was raised Mo/Jewish.

Not going to spend time trying to confirm that, but it really is interesting!

I read an article where she talked about being Jewish in SLC many years ago. I don't think it mentioned a Mormon connection, but I don't know.

I did know a few members of the Jewish community back then, but it was a very small community. I also knew a few Presbyterians and Episcopalians. We kind of found each other because we were left out of normal adolescent society. We were the "bad" kids.

Oh so you were one of those kids. ;-)

I don't think you were left out of normal adolescent society. I'm pretty sure that you all created one.

I'd love it if ABC would create that situation where the message to Barr was "In your face girlfriend. You're OUT and we're not going anywhere".

And they did. And she's out. And they aren't.

Intro...

Just a few weeks after canceling "Roseanne" after the show's star Roseanne Barr posted racist and bizarre tweets, ABC says it is keeping the show alive -- without Barr.

"The Conners" is the working title of the re-rebooted sitcom.

It will be a "spinoff" of "Roseanne," the network announced Thursday night. "Roseanne Barr will have no financial or creative involvement in the new series," ABC said in a press release.
