There was a time Roseanne was fresh, new and funny. She had a unique point of view -- that of a middle class, bored, angry housewife. And that point of view is what enabled a network to build a show around her comedy. I happened open this latest Roseanne venture and was shocked. What happened to her talent? Seriously, how can you slip that much? I don't know what has happened to her. If this is any indication of her act...wow. Boy has her comedy gone downhill. There is not a smart joke. Nothing is humor. It is all bitter spewing of anger. There was a time her bitterness was funny. Sorry no longer funny. Watching this is like listening to a foul mouthed friend complain too long. While she has not lost her edge -- she has lost her sense of humor. I find that sad. Even if you WERE a Roseanne fan at one time, this mess will not bring you back into her fan base. Just really too bad. There was a time that Roseanne was a brilliant comic. That time has passed.

Stand-up comedy is a form of comedic performance in which a comedian stands on stage and delivers a series of humorous monologues, anecdotes, jokes, and observational humor to entertain an audience. The comedian typically speaks directly to the audience, often addressing a wide range of topics including everyday life, personal experiences, social issues, and cultural observations.

Twenty years after she burst into America's collective consciousness, Roseanne Barr is still slinging comedic arrows at society's sacred cows. In her fourth HBO stand-up comedy special, the Emmy(R)-winning actress/comedienne takes aim at everything from old men taking Viagra to Vice President Dick Cheney. Taped before a live audience at the legendary Comedy Store in Los Angeles, the now-blonde Barr shows she's lost none of her candid, self-effacing, outspoken verve as she probes such topics as growing up Jewish in Salt Lake City, working 'in a cement box' on her TV series 'Roseanne,' and her disdain for the diet industry, the President, religious fanatics and more.
