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.

Thats 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.
The feeling is getting more mutual everyday.
If only I could let cable go. Hubby is disabled, glued to the tv, and its just what he likes. I stream everything and watch very little tv.
Low income?!?!?! Hahahahahaha
Where did you see that?
Too bad. So sad.
Lesbians and their children suffering the most, e.g. Sara Gilbert.
Im 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. Its insane and Im sick of it.
Anything associated with Rosanne disappears into the Memory Hole. We now have MiniTru.
Racist? Nope.
Ok well... here's one that might be a little racist or at least an ape with White Privilege:
Will all Freepers who have read this article report immediately to The Ministry of Love building, Washington DC, Room 101.Re-education will commence tomorrow at 7.00 am sharp.
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.
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.
Now she can run for President again in the Green Party.
And the things they said about Sarah Palin a c*** and a tw** a bimbo etc etc always a double standard it’s enough already
Remember Winston, 2 + 2 equals whatever the Party tells you it equals.
Nope. Pulled today.
Paramount ran show today. Further more TV Land didn’t start running show till recently.
