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.

How I wish her character had made these remarks on the show!
And... remarks were not ‘racist’, they were ‘offensive’.
CNN is already blaming Trump. LOL
I agree. There will be backlash. They might as well be terrified of Trump cause I am terrified of them.
The left has been waiting for something, ANYTHING to bring Roseanne down..and she did it..the left doesn’t hate Roseanne, they hate who Roseanne represents and that is US..getting rid of Roseanne is essentially getting rid of all Trump supporters..they want us all wiped off the planet so getting Roseanne canceled is icing on the cake for them
Hell...they ALREADY want to burn all of US at the stake...or imprison us...or execute us.
Anyone surprised?
The underlying thing here that astounds me, is all of the apparent worship of the Iranian reptile that is also Obammys handler, VAL!!!
This whole thing (and the Starbucks horsechit) just emphasizes the stupidity and mental illness that is Liberalism. They are all freakin nuts and doing anything to try to get a handout and publicity...they all need to be slapped upside the head!
Will Sgt. Schultz be in this comedy?
She is burning this MF to the ground.... and she’s lovin’ it, GO GIRL!
I saw clip that said Fox plans to pick up Rosanne show in about 3 months...
Does this mean that House of Cards will also become unavailable?
How is it racist? Planet of the Apes is racist?
I wonder if Roseanne is still on Hulu.
Wonder if Amazon Prime will pull the show too.
You have to give it to the left. When they go in for the kill, they move quick and completely. If they could figure a way to get Roseanne to pay back all the money she earned on the program they would do so. Maybe they will have the cast and crew sue Roseanne for the lose of income... /S
The left does not play hardball, they play WAR! Remember, to the left we are the enemy.
How soon before they start repossessing the DVDs?
LOL
Next, cities will make it illegal to own them.
Libs have not had such a good day since they got Republican governors to remove statues of Confederates. They are enjoying this.
Unbelievable! Bret Baier, that shallow little toad, is virtue signalling all over the place on this as is Steve Hayes. And, of course, it is somehow Trump’s fault she wrote a tweet.
Why don’t they shut up already?!
The age of perpetually offended ignoramuses.
Such mental midgets.
“There will be backlash.”
That would be good — but how? Not sure what we can do. I’ve been enjoying the reruns.
Maybe go on Amazon and order the DVDs in large quantities. Ideas?.
Just curious...what made Roseanne think of ValJar in the first place?
I haven’t been following the news.
Is she in the news?
They don’t shut up and they won’t shut up because of this:
“Examining the Inspector General’s First Report on Justice Department Decisions Regarding the 2016 Presidential Election”

And they’re only going to get louder this week.
