It's brilliant tbh, only seen the opening 2 eps but I'd go as far as saying it's funnier than the Will and Grace revival. Laurie Metcalf especially is a scream :love:

Ditto

They've cancelled it because of her Twitter post.

ABC drops Roseanne show after racist tweet
2 minutes ago

ABC television network has cancelled comedian Roseanne Barr's show after she posted a racist tweet comparing a former Obama adviser to an ape.

ABC said: "Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values and we have decided to cancel her show."

Barr's tweet said Valerie Jarrett was the child of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Planet of the Apes film.

She deleted the post and apologised but could not contain the backlash.

"I apologise to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans," Ms Barr wrote, after follow-up posts in which she defended her remarks as a "joke".

"I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me-my joke was in bad taste."

Ms Barr's cast mate Sara Gilbert posted on Twitter that the cancellation was "incredibly sad and difficult".

This is incredibly sad and difficult for all of us, as we’ve created a show that we believe in, are proud of, and that audiences love— one that is separate and apart from the opinions and words of one cast member.

End of Twitter post by @THEsaragilbert

"We've created a show that we believe in," Ms Gilbert said in the tweet. "One that is separate and apart from the opinions and words of one cast member."

Following Ms Barr's tweet, one of Roseanne's consulting producers, Wanda Sykes, said she would not be returning to the show.

ABC cancels Roseanne following star's controversial comments

Oops didn't realise James was already on it. Can we merge the threads please

Bloody hell?

Like ending this season early or just not getting their second?

:omgno:

Welp, poor the rest of the cast.

It's what she DESERVES.

It's gonna end up on Netflix or summat.

Not true
Season 2 is on its way.

Some Staff writers have left
thats the REAL STORY

I'm not sure which part of "we have decided to cancel her show" you're not getting

Anyway, good riddance to racist garbage who accuses political figures of being involved in "Jewish conspiracies", tells others to kill themselves and compares school shooting survivors to Nazis, who should never have been given this kind of a platform in the first place

The only way it'll return is if Fox decide to air it alongside Last Man Standing on a special Racism Night, but afaik it'd just be Roseanne by herself because most of the cast and crew are rightly ashamed to be associated with her

She Buggered it with
her wrong tweets

She has left twitter now

What did she say? :worry:

lmao :clap1: racism lost :clap1:

Laurie Metcalf deserves her spinoff!

(in this particular case, it was calling an African-American former Obama aide an ape)
