PRIME TIME

Roseanne Barr has always been an original. Johnny Galecki, now Leonard on "Big Bang Theory" recalls working on her when he was playing David on her show. "We would be taping the show and, in the back, Roseanne was a hosting a Hawaiian Luau divorce party." Producers who had worked with her took out a page ad in Variety: "After working with Roseanne, we're going to take a nice quiet action in Beirut." Louie Anderson, who toured with Roseanne in the beginning of her career, was often asked about working with her. His usual response "Rosie was always Rosie."

After a natural disaster in Los Angeles, she wrote a scathing letter to YV Guide because they referred to her as Roseanne Barr and not Roseanne Arnold. With all of her bad will, she was given many chances after her hit sitcom went off the air. A talk show and a reality show were short lived. Since everyone in Hollywood gets second third and fourth acts, it is no surprise that NBC decided to give her another chance to have a hit.

In a plethora of tweets, Barr was candid about her displeasure with the process.

"[The] development process went like this: show runner disappeared for 7 weeks-never returned any calls from me-I was told she 'goes in2 a cave'. I was also told that this was 'her process'-and that the result would be fantastic. I asked why I had been removed totally from the process. They had less than no interest in including me in the development of a show that was built on 'my brand.' It was horrible, but I kept on bc I had 2 C it thru-out of a bizarre interest in the insane outcome. The script didn't resonate with me-I tried 2 b kind about it. There were hardly any jokes in the script, and I didn't connect with the characters at all. My family told me 2 quit-I kept on trying," tweeted Barr.

In Tweets that have since been deleted, Barr attacked Anderson Cooper as "a toad" and slammed Roseanne show runner Matt Williams, with whom she sparred on the set of her hit ABC sitcom. "Every word I turned in to NBC and NBC Studios was censored and thrown out — they wanted 'my brand' without me in it. Worse than Matt W.," Barr wrote. "When I was told that no star gets to write their own show, I asked, 'who writes Tina Fey's show, then?" she Tweeted. Barr teased plans to direct, edit and star in her own new Internet show. "About the development process. I am done being mentally tortured — I quit. My new Internet TV sitcom will feature nudity, obscene language, violence politically incorrect analysis, channeling The Immutable Goddess."
