"Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show," said Channing Dungey, the president of ABC Entertainment |
They should have continued the show without Barr. Call it "Roseanne's Family" like NBC did with "Valerie" after Valerie Harper let the show.

She's an idiot for doing this. The revival was good, but she just couldn't keep her Trump pom-poms away and keep her mouth shut.

Twitter/Facebook comments have cost a number of people their job.
In looking for what news item would have caused her to tweet about Valerie Jarrett, the most recent thing I see if a May 23rd mention of Jarrett and Bernie Sanders endorsing a Georgia candidate. But an article says that another social media poster, presumably nobody famous, accused Jarrett of helping Obama "hide a lot", and Barr was reacting to that. The other poster's comment was triggered by an online claim that Obama had spied on French presidential candidates.

I loved the old show, and loved the new show. Shame on this idiot bitch for ruining a great show, costing the network millions of dollars and TV ratings, and shame on her for putting a lot of people out of work including her cast mates and crew. She is however, a Trump supporter, and in the end, they’re all the same. Disgusting. I’ll miss the show, but bravo to ABC for cancelling her show. Roseanne just completely destroyed any career she had left. I cannot wait to hear Sara Gilberts comments about this on tomorrow episode of the Talk.
And no, they can’t keep the show going without Roseanne, calling it Roseanne’s Family like they did with Valarie Harper. That’s stupid. But IF they did, I have the perfect title. “Nosanne”

The decision was made possible by something else—really someone else—who is not status quo: ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey, the first black woman to be the head of a major broadcast network. We can never know for sure what would have happened if a white person were in charge of ABC at this moment, but it strikes me that they would have been much more likely to administer the aforementioned wrist slap, continuing to put up with the polarizing circus act that is Barr. Dungey, instead, saw Roseanne’s tweet comparing a black woman to an ape for what it was: too much, too far, enough. |

While I figured there would be some sort of penalty, I really didn't think they would cancel the show.
I mean, how often do you see the #1 rated scripted show on TV canceled?
However much ABC may be applauded by one half of the population, you know they are going to be pilloried by the other half. Also, ABC should've known something like this was going to happen. When it comes to being smart and knowing when to keep one's mouth shut, Roseanne is NOT going to be at the head of the class.
200 people out of work now is what I read.
As for the revival itself, it was OKAY. But just OKAY. It wasn't great and at times wasn't even funny. And I can't be the only one that thought both John Goodman and Laurie Metcalf were phoning it in.
I really feel bad for Sara Gilbert who was executive producing the show and was one of the driving forces of getting it back on the air. I would so love to hear the conversation between her and Roseanne NOW! |

I think ABC jumped the gun too quickly. Maybe they should have continued the show without Barr.

Trump breaks silence on Roseanne Barr scandal
Quote: |
President Trump's first public reaction to the cancellation of "Roseanne" is a shot at Disney CEO Bob Iger.
What he didn't say is just as notable. He didn't say anything critical of Roseanne Barr's racist and conspiratorial tweets -- the comments that got her fired on Tuesday.
Instead, he tweeted this on Wednesday: "Bob Iger of ABC called Valerie Jarrett to let her know that 'ABC does not tolerate comments like those' made by Roseanne Barr. Gee, he never called President Donald J. Trump to apologize for the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me on ABC. Maybe I just didn't get the call?"
Trump and Barr have been supporters of each other for years. Trump called her up when "Roseanne" drew record ratings for its premiere in March. So that's why there was speculation that he might weigh in on the show's demise.
Rather than distancing himself from Barr's racist remarks, Trump jumped right into the argument about whether she was subjected to a double standard. |

It's really sad how she's bashing her castmates. And then throwing Whoopi under the bus like that. Such class.

So because she's a racist twat, she cost her castmates their jobs as well as all the crew and writers jobs as well.
Because the reruns got pulled off the air as well, she cost her castemates money, as they will no longer get royalty checks for when the show airs in syndication. Here's hoping she gets blackballed and never seen again on TV. Talk about deplorable.

This almost reminds me of the uproar amongst conservatives shortly after the Tim Allen sitcom Last Man Standing, was cancelled, also by ABC, last year.
Before that show was cancelled, Allen (one of the few Republicans in show-biz) said in an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, that being a Republican in Hollywood is "like 1930's Germany. You gotta be real careful around here, you know. You'll get beat up if you don't believe what everybody believes."
But at least the show was revived and will be making a comeback this fall on another network, FOX.
