Does anyone else remember when Phil Robertson made a Christian remark about the Homo’s? A&E Immediately overreacted and canceled the show. Then they immediately ran back to back episodes for the next two weeks. They realized what a mistake they made in canceling America’s most popular show and they ran it for a few more seasons.
ABC will do the same thing here. Watch and see. They will not kill a cash cow like Roseanne.
A&E wasn’t owned by a large company like Disney that could absorb the loss. Politics is more important to Disney. Roseanne is dead. Sad to say.
The test will be will they pull all the old episodes? If they're serious about canceling the show, they'll yank everything from reruns and On-Demand; this past hit season, all previous seasons, and Hulu as well. Forget she ever existed.
If they keep the old episodes available for viewing, ABC might just wait until this blows over, particularly in the face of what clearly appears to be a double standard regarding offensive comments made by liberal entertainers who are still allowed to keep their jobs.
