'Roseanne' Reruns Pulled From Paramount Network, TV Land and CMT After Racist Tweet
Hollywood Reporter ^ | May 29, 2018 | Katie Kilkenny

After a racist tweet by Roseanne Barr that created an outcry online, reruns of the Roseanne revival scheduled to air on Viacom networks Paramount Network, TV Land and CMT will be pulled from their respective schedules.

Roseanne reruns will be canceled on the three channels starting Wednesday, a Viacom spokesperson said.

Later on Tuesday a Hulu spokesperson also confirmed that the streaming platform would be dropping the show, writing, "We support ABC’s decision and are removing the show from Hulu."

The Laff broadcast network Tuesday announced that it would be dropping reruns of the original series, which ran from 1988-97 on ABC. "While we believe viewers have always distinguished the personal behavior of the actress Roseanne Barr from the television character Roseanne Connor, we are disgusted by Barr’s comments this week. Therefore, we are removing the original Roseanne series from the Laff schedule for the time being, effective immediately," Laff said in a statement.

If she hadn’t apologized and run, Big Media would have simply added “controversial” before mentioning anything about her, and ratings would have gone up and everyone made more $$.

OR, perhaps, it was done because like Cindy (Who?) Sheehan, Roseanne insulted a Clinton.

“Chelsea Soros Clinton”

“Sorry to have tweeted incorrect info about you!I Please forgive me! By the way, George Soros is a nazi who turned in his fellow Jews 2 be murdered in German concentration camps & stole their wealth-were you aware of that? But, we all make mistakes, right Chelsea?”

By liberals’ standards, Roseanne’s First Amendment rights have been violated.

What is the alleged racist tweet?

From the thread comments, it appears that Roseanne criticized Valerie Jarrett. Is that what has the left all in a tizzy?

Ridiculous fake outrage over a mildly offensive Tweet - you can bet the Obamas are behind getting her blackballed so quickly.

They are trying to squeeze off all her income. She now will make no money from the show, nor any of the residuals. Zip.

of course obama and co are behind this, just like they are behind the protests of confederate monuments, marches, protests and boycotts.

That’s the new thing. PC doesn’t allow you to see what was actually said. You can’t decide for yourself. Think as you are told.

FWIW, I found her (former) twitter posts to lack care in editing/grammar.

I never heard her call herself a conservative, but now she’s considered one.

Big Media and most Americans hold conservatives to a higher standard of conduct. Hope she’s up for it.

Kramer (Michael Richards) wasn't the star of the show.

I can't say for certain what would have happened if Jerry Seinfeld twittered something people thought was racist -- his liberal politics would probably protect him -- but nobody was going to stop the reruns because of anything Kramer or Newman or the Soup Nazi or Tim Whatley or David Puddy or J. Peterman wrote or said.

Anybody else suspicious of this brew haha? Aside from that Valerie Jarrett does look like a cross between an Ape and human. It’s being pushed as Trumps fault for ‘enabling’ things like this. Surelly and now one of Trump’s prominent supporters is circling the drain and Trumps drawing all the flak.

She also criticized Chelsea and talked down to her.

I’m wondering if, like Cindy (Who?) Sheehan, that was the real reason.
