ABC to continue 'Roseanne', just without Roseanne.

[Guntrader]

Guess it's only comedy if they are bashing Trump or W.
They fired Roseanne because she is a Trump supporter, and brought that into her show.
I think that was the networks highest grossing show.
People shouldn't tweet.

Edit: Geez, now the MSM is blaming Trump for the tweet.
I feel for the actors trying to make a comeback and all the crew members that just lost their jobs, most don't even appear in the credits.

The move comes after series star Roseanne Barr made a comment on Twitter Tuesday morning referring to former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett as the “offspring of the ‘Muslim Brotherhood & Planet of the Apes.'”

What gives?

I mean, it's not like she took a knee during the anthem...

referring to former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett as looking like the offspring of the “Muslim Brotherhood & Planet of the Apes.” Jarrett, an African-American, was born in Iran to American parents.

That is a pretty shitty thing to say about someone.
I quite dislike comments that disparage someone based on their genetic looks. Dress and makeup are a bit different.

I am surprised that a company is making a decision like this if they'll actually lose money.

Did you forget about:
Last Man Standing
Dick's

Is it out of line what she said? Absolutely
Have I seen other celebrities or big shot media people say worse and nothing happens? Yup

Crazy world we live in. Me thinks this has more to do with her being pro Trump than anything else.

If you think Roseanne's comments are disparaging, you should watch Lisa Lampanelli or Dave Chapelle on HBO or Netflix , respectively.
Maybe it's the difference between a broadcast show and a premium cable/Netflix. Advertisers vs. subscribers.
And she didn't say it on her show, it was a tweet.
And 99.9% of the people who complained didn't received it as a tweet, they saw it on the MSM news.

If you don't like to be offended, don't watch TV.

Oh wait, IIRC you don't even watch TV.

They hated Last Man Standing as well....

Thought Police.

[TINCANBANDIT]

Fox should pick up these shows and laugh all the way to the bank

[OhShoot!]

Reminds me of what my grandma used to tell me, "Oh be careful little mouth what you say."

[jukk0u]

Was she referring to the way the Apes in the movie had a militaristic government? or making a racial slur? I'm thinking the former since the link was to the MB.

[Arisaka]

I will never notice it was cancelled

[JohnMBrowning]

Thanks to Frontier not carrying ABC, I'll never know either....

[L_O_G]

I actually enjoyed the show. It was a good mix of all current issues and had funny shit talking between both political parties.

[Massivedesign]

Damn, I liked the remake! Our kids do as well.

I hope Fox picks this up and runs with it. I heard they (Fox) snagged Last Man Standing too, which warms my heart!
