“No. At the time I remember going to some kind of junket where they saw the pilot, and then the interviews, and it just turned into attack. And that made me very uncomfortable with them just attacking Roseanne,” he admitted. “Yeah, I felt bad for her. I just feel terrible about the whole thing. We had a great time. And I love her. She’s just her own person.”However, regardless of his support, “The Righteous Gemstones” star isn’t sure he’d ever work with Barr again.Goodman also reflected on the success of both blue-collar comedies “Roseanne” and “The Connors,” noting that there aren’t many shows on TV that depict blue-collar families with much respect.
