ABC has pulled the plug on the revival “Roseanne.”
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.”
“Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show,” ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey said in a statement.
ABC acted pretty fast. Some of the bad tweets are still up

Roseanne was never a good show anyway. John Goodman was the only good person in it.
I like when people say stupid shit and face immediate consequences. Not as though Roseanne's exactly gonna be living on the street as a result, though.
Don't worry, FOX will pick this up to complement Last Man Standing for the Double-White Power MAGA Power-Hour.
Man that comment section is just ripping right now. Jesus Christ all the cries of free speech are nuts, do these people not understand the concept of professionalism?
Maybe she can make a living being a Fortnite streamer
Donald Trump Jr retweeted the 'Soros is a Nazi' tweets
It's been a hot, hot couple of days in the Twittersphere of the rich and fsmous.
The Nazis lost World War 2 because they hired kids as their officers FACT
Oh I thought abc wouldn't care because we live in some sort of hell world
She's not sorry for her actions, she's sorry that they killed a business opportunity for her.
This what happens of brainwashing an left-wing activist who was ex-Green Party presidential primary candidate into believing Con-man of "fixing" American economy.
And middle part isn't made up.
Geeze, those tweets read like someone trying to sabotage their career.
Maybe she was trying to pull a "The Producers" on her own career...
Rosanne has always been this kind of person. Anyone who respected or cared about any of her political views, at any point in time, is an idiot.
Honestly I just assumed it was just self-promotion.
I can only think of one time on her old show where she made any damn sense at all, and it was this scene:

Is it bad that I kinda expected something like this to happen?
That's in terrible taste but atleast it's an actual joke. The tweets she made today were pointless racist personal attacks.
Not really. I'm surprised it actually happened since the show was already renewed, they clearly had confidence in it.
So clearly I'm putting more thought into this than Roseanne did, but shit doesn't make sense.
As best I can tell, she's saying that Jews secretly run the planet. And then says that the main Jew running the planet is actually a Nazi who killed Jews in the Holocaust.
Like, what the fucking fuck fuck is she actually thinking? Even if you accept her "facts" as factual, the conclusions are self-contradictory. How is she even a functional enough human being to have run a TV show?
There should be an age cutoff for Twitter. Once you hit 60 you turn in your iPhone and are shuttled into a room at a retirement facility where you can play bingo until you die
But then how can the rest of us play "celebrities whose mouths fucked them over" Bingo?
My mother absolutely hated this show. She can barely stand the theme when it shows re-runs and begs for me to turn it to something else.
People like Roseanne have no logic besides "republicans = good, democrats = bad"
Any logic or conclusion that follows that basic axiom is true to these people, no matter how batshit insane it is, the more inflammatory the better.
