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 ABCs 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 Barrs 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.

Big Media KNOWS they are at war with America.
Trump has placed Iran deal in the news. Valerie Jarrett is the #1 driver of Obama’s Iran policy ... for obvious reasons... she is Iranian ... Shia Iranian.
I don’t know if this was Roseanne’s thinking. But it is the thinking of anyone who knows anything about the Iran deal.
These companies are just letting us customers know who the hypocrites are.
I guess the truth hurts perhaps if she picked a horse’s ass that would have been acceptable also appropriate by the way but I guess it’s okay for them to call our president a Nazi that’s okay that’s not racist
So will Hulu, and co stop showing us programs with certain racist words in them regardless if they are said by a black man to another black man, ? Will they stop showing us sex, and nudity too, or does the left yet again decide what is insulting when it suits them?
Woe be Bolshies, they don’t have Roseanne to bash any more.
VJ’s response “this should be a teaching moment”
Spoken like a true dictator, more like a warning to whoever might dare do anything similar. The democrats/media will make you disappear.
Fight back.
Demand they reinstate.
This is fascism on steroids.
* Paramount Network - dead, dying, never watch, ruined by Viacom
* TV Land - dead, garbage, couldn’t pay me enough to watch, another product turned to crap by Viacom
* CMT - dying, viewership declining, worthless, no longer Country Music Television, ruined by Viacom takeover
Who runs Viacom? Sumner Redstone, a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT.
Liberal democrats are dying, they have nothing of value to offer. Social Media and internet platforms are causing a historic decentralization of media and entertainment. Redstone democrats are on their way to extinction.
‘...after Racist Tweet’? - was not a racist ‘tweet’. Planet of the Apes is about a society that was stuck on stupid. That parallels Islam.
Roseanne will get a much better offer from a much friendlier venue. Americans want Roseanne back in their homes. She’s willing to commit and go back to work. A way will be found. I am not worried in the slightest and look to the recent action by Viacom as a blessing.
Yes she is. She was born in Iran, but both her parents were black.
Yes it was Michael Richards but he is a key figure in most episodes.
And Jerry said he would no longer perform at colleges because kids were overly sensitive about things he joked about.
Sitting and staring out of the hotel window
Got a tip they're gonna kick the door in again
Like to watch 'Roseanne' before I travel
But if you got a warrant I guess you're gonna come in.
Yep and the right still plays by Queensbury rules and expects equal treatment ("What about Joy-Ann Reid? What about Michelle Wolf?")
There are no rules that the left honors and there is no equal treatment so do not expect any. I knew Roseanne was f***ed the moment I read her tweet.
I think Antenna TV or one of the other retro channels was broadcasting the Cosby Show a couple months ago. His crime was far worse. In fact, it was an actual crime, not saying something mean.
In addition, she has a LONGGGGG family tree of radical leftwing communists including parents, grandparents, in-laws, ....
Good question.
It’s an insane overreaction. Like Soviet Union. The tweet was her personal comment. It shows how much we are like “1984.”
It’s playing for free on Roku’s “Filmrise” service.
Filmrise is also free, and offers that as well as many sitcoms in their entirety. And most important ? It plays “Single Handed” the Irish Garda drama that is visual CRACK.
