Comedian <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/roseanne-barr-and-tom-macdonalds-trump-rap-daddys-home-hits-number-1-ahead-of-inauguration">Roseanne Barr</a> revealed she’s working on shopping a sitcom to Hollywood she wrote that centers on a family that “save America with guns, the Bible, petty crime and alcoholism.”
Speaking to <a href="https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/roseanne-barr-new-comedy-series-saving-america-1236285811/">Variety</a> about her latest project, the 72-year-old actress said the new sitcom, which she and “Roseanne” alum Allan Stephan wrote, is a “a cross between ‘The Roseanne Show’ and ‘The Sopranos.’” It centers on the family of an Alabama farmer who’s “saving the United States from drug gangs and China.” 
“It’s silly and out there,” Barr said. “[It will contain] very offensive ideas and a lot of swearing. I live with my daughter and her husband and their six children on a farm.”
“And they have goats running through their house and stuff,” she added. “It’s based on my life as a farmer in Hawaii. They save America with guns, the Bible, petty crime and alcoholism. It’s kind of like the Coen brothers thing.”

“There’s a scene where I have to strap myself into a corset. My granddaughter helps me, and then I go into town to flirt with all the shopkeepers that are just grotesque people,” Barr continued. “It’s just kind of a cartoony kind of thing.”
The writer and producer also said she’s not worried about whether Hollywood is interested in picking it up, because she will just make it herself, if not.
“If Hollywood doesn’t buy it, then I’m just gonna make it myself,” Barr said. “Does anybody in [Hollywood] like America or the people who watch TV? Because the people who watch TV would really like to see a show where working-class people win against the enemies of America.”
“Hollywood has made itself irrelevant to the American people,” she added. “If they want to survive, they should work with the new president [President Donald Trump]. American people elected him in an overwhelming victory. They should get back in touch with [them] and make some money, which I don’t know if they do or not ’cause they’ve proven to be ideologues rather than [business people]. What shocks me is the fact that they prefer to lose money and then explain that to the shareholders who apparently have no problem with that.”
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/roseanne-barr-drops-daddys-home-rap-video-with-tom-macdonald">comedian</a> found massive success in the 80s with her ABC sitcom about a working-class family titled “Roseanne.” It ran from 1988-1997. In 2018, a reboot of her hit series with the same name was hugely successful. However, that same year Barr was fired following a tweet that was quickly labeled racist. The show was canceled and the series later came back to the network without her, retitled “The Conners.”
She later spoke about that tweet — which read, “muslim brotherhood &amp; planet of the apes had a baby” — and was aimed at former White House senior adviser to President Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/any-tweet-that-was-not-i-love-hillary-clinton-i-got-a-call-for-roseanne-barr-documentary-explores-how-she-was-canceled">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported.
The comedian also issued an apology on Twitter, but the show was still taken off the air.
