... While its spinoff The Conners grounded its cameos in the show's reality, Roseanne season 9 earned massive critical backlash for its unrealistic storylines, jarring tonal change, and pointless celebrity cameos.
After spending almost a decade depicting the believably hardscrabble existence of the Conner family, Roseanne season 9 opened with the family winning the lottery and becoming millionaires overnight.
This twist was abhorred by fans and critics alike and effectively ensured Roseanne's subsequent cancelation. ...

Mike Johnson would have great pause' about a Ghislaine Maxwell pardon
www.theguardian.com
... The US House speaker, Mike Johnson, said on Sunday he would have "great pause" about granting a pardon or commutation to Ghislaine Maxwell while another House Republican said it should be considered as part of an effort to obtain more information about Jeffrey Epstein's crimes.
Donald Trump and his allies, including Johnson, have been under immense pressure to disclose more information about Epstein for weeks, especially amid scrutiny over the extent of Trump's relationship with Epstein. The splits over what to do with Maxwell illustrate the complicated challenge posed by the scandal for Trump, his Maga base and the broader Republican party.
Johnson weighed in on the possibility of a pardon after Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general, met with Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking, over two days last week. The one-time British socialite was Epstein's close confidante for years and his partner-in-crime. Epstein killed himself in jail in 2019.
"If you're asking my opinion, I think 20 years was a pittance. I think she should have a life sentence at least. I mean, think of all these unspeakable crimes," he said. "It's hard to put into words how evil this was, and that she orchestrated it and was a big part of it, at least under the criminal sanction, I think is an unforgivable thing. So again, not my decision, but I have great pause about that, as any reasonable person would."
Pressed directly on whether he favored a pardon, Johnson deferred to Trump. ...
