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.

Was it about how Valjar looked or about the premise of “Planet of the Apes?” Everyone took it to mean looks, but if that was the case, why mention the Muslim Brotherhood?
Desmond Morris' The Naked Ape and Jared Diamond's The Third Chimpanzee both treat human beings generally as a species of ape.
Am I the only person who remembers BushChimpyHitler?
One would think Rosanne called for an end to all white men. Oh wait, that was Farrakhan so according to the left, that’s okay.
Bizzaro world for sure.
The only thing that makes her comment seriously offensive is its relationship with perceptions by persons of color about themselves.
If she had said that Jarrett was the product of a liaison between the KKK and Hogwarts, I think she would have been safe.
Nothing like a huge, over the top, over-reaction.
Get real
Ah, the hypocritical outrage over this.
Just this evening,”Sheldon Cooper” explained how butter can be used -— and I don’t want to say anything more. I’m through watching that show. It’s nothing but an excuse to make references to sex, and the laugh track tells us it’s ok to laugh.
As Disney is in the process of engulfing Fox
I’ll bet Roseanne and Tim won’t be on their airwaves with
Perhaps Roseanne got her movies mixed up....maybe she meant this movie...

Interesting story line....somewhat related.
W was Chimpy McBushitler and yet race wasn’t an issue
Has anyone notice that the Disqus comments were greyed out earlier today?
Such as Breitbart http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood
I bet because of the 10’s of thousands of comments supporting Roseanne.
There is an open slot now. These means Tim Allen can be hired back!!
Last Man Standing reruns are on all the time.
As far as new LMS, it’s already been picked up by Fox for a new season.
These insane actions to pull her shows came so quickly that it makes me believe that these decisions had already been made, and then the signal was given.
That’s pretty fishy.
“I wonder if Roseanne is still on Hulu.”
No, HULU cancelled her original show. The groupthink runs deep in the entertainment sphere.
Pretty lock-step actually.
Twitter, Roseanne was trending, and it was on there.
All this again proves that the media, specifically in this case Abc, and the Entertainment Industry Networks are working hand in glove to keep anything that opposes them out of the equation if it doesn’t abide by their agendas.
ABC canceled way way too fast and the rest, as well as liberal gangs, Hollywood etc jumped on this even faster.
Additionally they want everyone to walk on eggshells now ....mission accomplished.
Who didn’t see this coming.really.
