Dumb as fuck on both ends. Don't cancel the show and put other people out of jobs because of one racist jackass. It was a damn good show and people need to learn to separate the actors from the characters.

"BUT BUT YOUR PAYING THE RACIST!!!1111"

So fucking what? How much shit do you buy or invest your money into every single day that is ran or endorsed by some racist asshole? Difference is you just don't know about it.

Grow up people.

Agreed. It's a shame because the show was pretty good and after the first few episodes felt like old Rosanne again.

The problem is that Roseanne the show is intrinsically linked to Roseanne Bar. Any other ensemble show and you'd fire her and the show would go on. But Roseanne is at the core of Roseanne and you can't simply get rid of her. And while the idea of separating the character from the actor is good in theory. You can't have Roseanne Bar play a character that is a similar, though considerably more toned-down and reasonable, character to herself that shares her name and not have people link it to the actress.

I'm going out on a a limb and guessing that ABC just wanted an excuse. The whole thing seemed like a lark. Do an old throwback to kill some dead airtime for a couple of months, that somehow became the smash hit they would be idiots not to blindly renew despite (or because) it showed right wingers in a positive (or at least more human) light.

Now they have a reason to axe it. Of course, unless there's some network exclusivity clauses in contracts, she'll shop it around. It could be on Fox before the week's out.

They've had more reasons than can be counted to axe it years before they greenlit the reboot. This recent tantrum of hers is nothing new.

Because she was doing it alot prior to this, today she pushed it way too far, then tried to walk it back claiming she was joking and giving a fake apology, nobody bought that and ABC started losing money so they quickly nyx'd her before this could get worse.

I mean....her name literally IS the name of the show.

It's not like Two and a Half Men where you can just delete Charlie Sheen from existence and have the show go on.

The thing that really annoys me about that is that she spit at the end. That is true disrespect. But that's the type of person she is, at least it's her public persona. She tries to get attention by causing controversy.

She doubled down twice with the "MUSLIM ISN'T A RACE" card before deleting all the tweets. She's also been making tweets like this for years and has been called out on it numerous times.

It's more of a case that both Disney (ABC) and the NFL playcated to their fan-base, here. Both are smart moves.

I'd be a total hypocrite if I didn't say Roseanne definitely should've known better, here. I think it's an overreaction, but at the end of the day, it's ABC's money, and their right to react how they choose.

Also important to note that the anthem protests weren't why NFL ratings were dropping, as the drops came long before anyone actually cared about the kneeling. TV ratings have been dropping in general for years.

Roseanne was the number one scripted show TV. If you think ABC cared more about portraying conservatives in a positive light than making beaucoup bucks, you are crazy. Especially when you consider most of the writing staff were classic Hollywood liberals. Seriously, Barr was about the only conservative on the show's production side. What she did however was draw intense negative publicity to herself and by extension the show that shares her name and ABC decided it didn't want anything to do with it.

Also, Roseanne the show is produced and owned by ABC. Roseanne is not able to shop it around without their permission.
