Roseanne Barr isn’t part of the wealthy cast of The Conners because of her history of making inappropriate comments. While people wondered if the actress was canceled after her social media scandal, she has continued to speak her mind. For example, Barr praised Donald Trump on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, which didn’t go over very well.
While Roseanne Barr hasn’t been on TV in a long time, her former co-stars celebrated the milestone of the 100th episode of The Conners. The actors went through a lot to get to this point, which makes this even more significant. The Roseanne reboot got canceled because of a racist tweet from Barr. Rosie O’Donnell even warned Barr about the tweet, but Barr’s time playing the loud and outspoken mother and wife was over. The Conners premiered in 2018 and has had six seasons so far.
When praising The Conners for making it to 100 episodes, fans can’t help but recall the terrible feud between Sara Gilbert and Roseanne Barr. In this article, we’ll take a look at the conflict between the actors. We’ll also take a closer look at the sitcom’s 100th episode.
When watching the 100th episode of The Conners and seeing the love between the main characters, it’s hard not to remember the tension between Roseanne stars Sara Gilbert and Roseanne Barr. Gilbert played Barr’s onscreen daughter Darlene Conner and the two definitely spent a lot of time together on the set of the original sitcom and the Roseanne revival, which aired in 2017 and 2018.
The Roseanne stars experienced conflict because of Roseanne Barr’s tweet about Valerie Jarrett, which was racist. Sara Gilbert said it wasn’t how the “cast and crew or anyone associated with our show” felt. In 2019, Barr spoke to The Washington Post about her anger over what Gilbert tweeted.
Barr said: “She destroyed the show and my life with that tweet. She will never get enough until she consumes my liver with a fine Chianti.”
According to Entertainment Weekly, Barr appeared on The Megyn Kelly Show on SiriusXM a few years later and explained that she felt that Sara Gilbert was the reason Roseanne went off the air.
“It was her tweet that canceled the show. And then she tweeted ‘It’s sad when one cast member,’ something about racist, blah, blah. And I was floored. I was just floored. And you know, but she ends up owning my work and Tom Werner becomes her partner in owning my work.”
Roseanne Barr screamed at Bill Maher on his podcast, Club Random, and recalled a physical interaction they once had.
Barr also said to Kelly that Gilbert told her:
“I’ve got your back. This time I won’t let anyone at you. I won’t let anyone hurt you. I’m gonna protect you. I know you have mental health problems, but I’m gonna be there. I’m gonna stand in the way.’
While Roseanne Barr spoke more about the feud than Sara Gilbert did, Gilbert was interviewed on The Talk and said that she supported ABC for canceling the Roseanne revival. She said:
“The show has always been about diversity, love, and inclusion, and it’s sad to see it end in this way.”
The 100th episode of The Conners is called “Smash and Grab and Happy Death Day” and is the tenth episode of season 7. The characters deal with some serious topics, from Becky talking to Beverly Rose about death and Jackie stopping someone from stealing from the hardware store that Dan owns.
According to ABC 7, the cast of The Conners was excited to reach 100 episodes of the sitcom and felt nostalgic about the fact that they have been working together for so long. Sara Gilbert, in particular, had some positive things to say. This proves that while her feud with Roseanne Barr was unpleasant, Gilbert still thinks highly of The Conners and Roseanne.
