I just read that ABC has cancelled the rebooted sitcom,'Roseanne' after its star,Roseanne Barr, went off on a racist tweet about President O'Bama's former adviser,Valerie Jarrett. I won't reveal what she said,thought it was totally uncalled for.Barr now is apologizing saying it was 'a bad joke,I should of known better'
I never saw the original or the 'reboot,glad ABC has stepped forward and done this. Sue
 

Yes, it's making big new today. It's a shame Roseanne didn't think of her castmates or perhaps, think, at all before writing that racist tweet.

I was a fan of the show back in the day, and watched the revival shows, but they just weren't the same.
 
I loved the original show, but this revival hasn't made it to the UK this time, and probably never will now.

Like you Cindylou, my first thought was that her unthinking 'joke' has just cost her co-cast members and the production crew their jobs... I bet they're mad as hell...

Yes, hollydolly, Sara Gilbert (Darlene), already made a statement, in part, saying Roseanne's tweet in no way reflects the feelings of the cast.....etc.
 
Tonight on MSNBC at 9pm,Joy Reid and Chris Hayes will be hosting a live town hall forum from Philly called"EveryDay Racism in America'.
This show is airing because of what happened a couple weeks ago at a Starbucks in Philly,when 2 Africian American men were waiting for a friend and were told to leave because they didn't purchase anything.
I saw an ad for this show this morning saying Valerie Jarrett would be one of the participants. I wonder if she still will appear tonight. Sue
 
The Roseanne show is on tonight at 8pm, at least where I am. It's a repeat, but I am wondering if they will pull it and put something else in it's place tonight.
 
She is the daughter of D. J., Roseanne's son (Michael Fishman) who married a black girl on the show. Roseanne wanted that storyline because in Season 7 years ago, there was a storyline where D.J wouldn't kiss the black girl.
 
Luckily most of the cast members have other gigs so they should be ok.
Roseanne can go back to her nut farm in Hawaii. Yes she actually owns a nice nut farm on Maui I believe.

They're showing reruns of The Middle (I like that show).
Roseanne was been completely wiped off the TV screen. Don't even want to make reruns available. Wow.
 
Yes, AC, I saw they put The Middle on instead. Swift action, they weren't messing around!
