What a dipshit to post something like that to Twitter. Not all that surprising given Roseanne’s past but still just incredibly stupid. A little too bad as I was enjoying the reboot for what it was but I guess it’s not a huge loss that it’s canned.

Let's just have a spin-off with Dan in charge. They can call it Barr None.

I enjoyed the show for what it was, but I didn't think she would self-destruct that quickly. Still, it was only a matter of time. Too bad for all of the cast and crew that she let down.

Maybe she was banking on the fact that the bar is set so low these days that anything goes...
Is it really so different to say countries which are majority black population are shitholes to what she said?
While its shocking to find out her personal feelings it wouldn't stop me from watching the show, especially since it was more entertaining than most of other crap currently airing.
I hope another outfit picks up the show and it continues to do well. I'm sure it wouldn't be Apple, and probably not Netflix but maybe Hulu or some cable channel?
I don't think its fair to jump all over her for making one stupid remark when Trump makes them on a regular basis and gets a free pass....

Roseanne's tweet reminds me of a flamboyant gaylord host that worked for Univision and called Obama's wife a planet of the apes. That didn't fair too well either.

Yeah, I'm sure she's thinking that what she said isn't so bad considering what our president has been allowed to say since he was elected (plus she probably felt a little protected by how well the show was doing). I'm kinda scared to check if there's some kind of petition to support her.

Re: Roseanne (ABC) -- Season 10 Thread -- premieres 3/27/18
I mean, she's a terrible person and all, but I did actually think that the show touched on subjects that was a little bit too much of a mirror to what the America we live in, in parts, is like and a reflection of why Trump is president.
Seeing subjects tackled like realistic issues in the "middle-class" in money issues, pill problems and moving in with your parents because of financial burdens even though you have kids is all stuff that is happening.
That aside, the lady clearly has never held back in showing her true colors. why ABC is shocked at this and didnt expect it to happen is beyond me.

Step 1: Destroy the National Anthem (that is sacred and NO ONE is allowed to kneel during! - If they're black), grab crotch & spit
Step 2: Post pics of yourself dressed up like a Nazi
Step 3: Post lots of racist garbage
Step 4: Get your own hour-long "opinion" show on Fox News!

That sucks. I guess Rosanne is a deplorable. But the show was really good. Everyone has to be an asshole and get political. The show itself was politically sensible.
I’d watch another season. We can just bump a Polanski thread and skip the usual debate points.

She didn't get fired because of her politics, but because she's a racist.

It's odd that the Left wing embraces Alec Baldwin so much (mostly because he rips on Trump every week on SNL) despite the fact that he was fired (he had a prime time political show) by MSNBC in 2013 for calling a NY Post Photographer, "A Co*k Suc**ng Fa**ot." Politics make strange bed fellows! In saying that, what Roseanne said was just racist and dumb and she should have been fired.

Lol, it looks like they're even pulling her from syndication!
Though they'll probably put it back on once this blows over.

ABC was scheduled to air an episode of this tonight at 8:00.
They should just broadcast 30 minutes of a blank screen, with a message about why it has been cancelled.

Never did like her and never watch a single episode of her show. Not surprise she a racist and hope her career hit rock bottom but I'm sure Trump could find her a post in his cabinet.

trump has emboldened people like this, assuming they can get away with the shit he gets away with, not understanding that he only has to appeal to a majority of Republicans, while they have to appeal to the majority of people.

Hulu has joined Viacom and its channels in pulling Roseanne reruns, reps with knowledge of the decisions confirmed to EW Tuesday afternoon.
Paramount Network, TV Land, and CMT will all cease to air reruns of the series, while Hulu confirms it will remove the show from its library.
Starting tomorrow, syndicated episodes of the recently revived sitcom — which was axed by ABC earlier today after racist tweets from star/co-creator Roseanne Barr ignited a social media firestorm — will no longer run in rotation across the channels.
