I feel bad for Sara Gilbert who was really pretty incredible. I hope they figure out a way to spin it off into a show that focuses on her - that way more interests me than any other aspect of the show they were doing anyway.
Barr screwed a lot of people with her comment. A show like hers provides jobs for many, many people, actors, writers, producers, make-up, costume, set designers, and on and on. All of a sudden they are looking for work because of an incredibly dumb and racist joke. I feel sorry for all of them.
I never cared for Barr much before I knew her politics. I did see a few snippets of her first show and I thought the writers did a nice job satirizing how politically divided we are and poking fun at both sides, at least in the little bit I saw.
I am sure many will come to her defense and say she was a victim of the liberal media. Anyone who defends her should be put to the test on what they thought her comments meant. I try to be pretty balanced, but I don't see how anyone can say her comments were not racist.
Her apology referenced her comments as a poor joke. It didn't read like a joke to me at all. It just seemed hateful.
