The Scoop for Oct. 17, 2018

So The Roseanne show without Roseanne debuted last night, and the rumors were true; they killed off her character. And she died from an opioid overdose.
I know, you might be thinking that’s a terrible thing to do to her character, but remember. They killed off Dan in the original series and he’s back. So never say never.

Speaking of Roseanne, did she watch? Nope. And with that extra free time? She’s been sleeping, a lot. According to her, quote, “17 hours a day.”
Kind of sounds like she got the better end of the deal.

So Keira Knightley has some restrictions for her three year old daughter. Like she can’t watch certain movies. Cinderella and Little Mermaid. Cinderella because you should never wait for a rich guy to save you, save yourself. And Little Mermaid, because you should never give your voice to a man (or anyone else for that matter.)
You know when I first heard she wouldn’t let her kid watch these I thought she was off her nut, but when you think about it, there are a bunch of Disney movies that are pretty disturbing. Pinnochio… and old dude who wants a little boy so bad he builds one out of wood. You try that today, and that dude gets arrested and put on a watch list.

Tucker Carlson from Fox News says he doesn’t go out to eat any more because people yell and swear at him. Sounds like a Thursday at my house.

Bonus Scoopage:
It looks like we might have come to an end for this round of Fuller House.  TVLine is reporting that Netflix is seriously considering ending Fuller House with its upcoming fourth season. When reached for comment, a Netflix spokesperson said, “No decision has been made about the future of Fuller House; we’re looking forward to the premiere of Season 4 later this year.” I’d be ok if they let this one fade away.
