'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.

That’s ok, I dropped my Hulu membership because the only reason I had it was to watch Roseanne.

What a bunch of lemmings, One jumps does something they all follow.

Rosanne was still scheduled to be on right now according to the online tvguide.com. It’s not. In it’s place, they’re airing The Middle. That was fast.

TV execs, an oligarchy, have gone full retard.

They are trying to pretend they all don’t know each other but are simultaneously outraged at a bad joke on twitter. Meanwhile, they continue to broadcast, produce, and disseminate filth.

If only I could let cable go. Hubby is disabled, glued to the tv, and it’s just what he likes. I stream everything and watch very little tv.
Low income?!?!?! Hahahahahaha

If she had gotten through another couple of seasons she would have been the patron saint of the left for pushing the tranny agenda with the son that likes to wear girls clothes.

Too bad. So sad.

Lesbians and their children suffering the most, e.g. Sara Gilbert.

I’m so tired of conservatives being beaten up over racism. WE are the ones who fought for their freedom, WE are the ones who allowed them to vote, WE are the ones who fought the KKK (and still are), I have never seen color in my life, yet we are called racists. There is more antagonism between the races than I have ever seen before. It’s insane and I’m sick of it.

Anything associated with Rosanne disappears into the Memory Hole. We now have MiniTru.

And yet Seinfield wasn’t pulled from the air in syndication after Kramers breakdown on stage

Because it was Jerry Seinfeld's show, not Michael Richards's show and Seinfeld had nothing to do with what Richards did. Regarding The Cosby Show and Roseanne, the show creator is whom the scandal is about.

Can you imagine if a show such as All In The Family ever aired today? Political Correctness has destroyed Freedom of Speech and humor.

She also criticized Chelsea and talked down to her.

Oh, horrors.

I would never criticize Chelsea's appearance--the poor girl tries to make herself attractive, but has very little to work with. But her actions and behavior give plenty of reason to criticize, and so they are fair game.

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.

Remember Winston, 2 + 2 equals whatever the Party tells you it equals.
