told Variety that she wrote the comedy series with “Roseanne” and “Arli$$” alum Allan Stephan, adding they are getting ready to shop the show around town.The actress will star in the series, which will be about four to six episodes.Barr described the comedy as “a cross between ‘The Roseanne Show’ and ‘The Sopranos,’” telling the outlet it’ll center around a small-town farmer in Alabama who is “saving the United States from drug gangs and China.” This isn’t any average farmer, though.Barr shared that the farmer grows and sells drugs like magic mushrooms and cannabis.“It’s silly and out there,” she 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.

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.”She teased that the family in her new series will have similarities to the Conners from “Roseanne.”“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,” she stated.
