James Woods took to Twitter, where he relished in the recent story that ABC execs now are having second thoughts and regrets over firing Roseanne Barr.
Woods said that he hopes Roseanne Barr sues their “asses” off.
James Woods embarked on a tweet-storm Saturday, lending his important voice to a whole range of current topics, beginning with the report that senior executives at ABC believe they overreacted in firing comedian Roseanne Barr for her controversial tweet, saying it would have been more appropriate to suspend her.
“They’ve no doubt tested with focus groups. This was a billion dollar catastrophe for them,” Woods tweeted. “I hope she hijacks their asses for a fortune when they slip on the knee pads and start begging for her to come back.”

And while it’s believed that Barr gave ABC the blessing to do a “Roseanne” spin-off, Woods asked about the possibility of another network — Fox? — doing a sitcom with Barr.
“Serious question: does ABC own Roseanne’s name? I always heard that titles can’t be copyrighted,” Woods tweeted. “I’m probably wrong, but what if another network decided to do a different Roseanne Barr sitcom? What degree of material change is required?”

He commented on the wisdom of firing the title character of a show on Friday.
“Well, in general, firing the title character of any hit show (centered solely around that character) is hardly the apex of business acumen. This should be blatantly obvious to the most casual practitioner of programming,” Woods remarked in the tweet.

“The Conners,” the spin-off of “Roseanne” sans the original show’s namesake, is set to launch on October 16 and its ratings may soon tell the tale.
Other topics Woods weighed in on Saturday include the Kanye West controversy, as he noted that the rapper’s actions are “beautiful to behold.”
“The world gets stranger and more wondrous every day,” he said in another tweet.

So interesting that black unemployment in America is at historic lows, #KanyeWest is actually challenging a century of failed Democratic policies for black Americans, and mainstream media shills are losing their already addled minds. Beautiful to behold. #RedWave2018

The actor noted how CNN’s Don Lemon attacked West in a racist tirade that ridiculed him for “sitting with white people,” comparing his actions a “minstrel show,” even as he included a photo of the gay anchor and his white boyfriend.
“This is CNN,” he added.

And while taking on serious topics, Woods didn’t not lose his cutting sense of humor, as seen in a tweet recognizing the “funniest person on Twitter.”
“#WorstNakedActivity: Kick boxing with Lena Dunham,” the lucky recipient tweeted.
The funniest person on Twitter. @_wintergirl93 https://t.co/jv7tMJTbnL

He also found time to share a little love for President Donald Trump:
Having a person who has never been a politician in the White House is a amazing. Polarizing, certainly, but just a breath of fresh air, especially after eight years of the worst Chicago machine hack in history. pic.twitter.com/s5lQwEDwaB
