Obviously, there are probably several comparable examples floating out there in the world, but I\u2019m a dad with an extremely small world these days, so bear with me here.<\/span><\/p>\n But I recently saw that Katey Segal has apparently showed up in the ashes of what used to be Roseanne<\/i> and is now The Connors<\/i>, seemingly as the love interest of Dan Connor, Roseanne\u2019s widowed husband after her character died of cancellation.\u00a0 <\/span>But for lack of better term, Peg Bundy has shown up and completely usurped the role of Roseanne out from Roseanne herself, and I\u2019m left here flabbergasted, wondering if there\u2019s ever been more of a legendary power move in history?<\/span><\/p>\n It goes back to the 80\u2019s when not necessarily direct rivals, but definitely there were comparisons between the two actresses, playing similar characters of no-bullshit, smart talking moms between Roseanne and Married\u2026 With Children<\/i>.\u00a0 <\/span>To the point where it\u2019s even acknowledge in the roast of Roseanne by Katey Segal herself<\/span><\/a>, and if people didn\u2019t put one and one together before seeing that clips, it\u2019s easy to see the correlations between the two.<\/span><\/p>\n And then Roseanne had to go and get herself cancel culture\u2019d, putting the whole reboot of the Roseanne show into a tailspin, but ABC and Disney are clever, and have the financial means to throw infinite money at a problem until it goes away, and it appears that even the social cancellation of the titular Roseanne is not insurmountable.\u00a0 <\/span>Killing her name from the series, and renaming it The Connors is one thing, but to more or less flip all of Roseanne\u2019s role and probably future storylines onto Peg Bundy is pretty incredible no matter what way you look at it.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s kind of like whenever Ric Flair would get himself in hot water with whatever legal, drugs or one of this 13 ex-wives, and WCW would always have this sudden power vacuum in the main event.\u00a0 <\/span>But then they\u2019d poach some WWF main eventer, be it Kevin Nash, Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart or whomever, and they\u2019d instantly step in and bring a modicum of low-adapting stability to the scene and things would resume business as usual until the company imploded in 2001.<\/span><\/p>\n Katey Segal stepping in to fill the shoes vacated by Roseanne\u2019s social indiscretions all but solidifies who really was the queen of the old school sitcom moms\u2019 roost, and now not only did she dominated MWC through her original time, she\u2019s dominating someone else\u2019s original IP in the modern age.\u00a0 <\/span>If that\u2019s not a power move on the legendary level, then I don\u2019t know what else is.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Obviously, there are probably several comparable examples floating out there in the world, but I\u2019m a dad with an extremely small world these days, so bear with me here.
