‘The Conners’ minus fired Roseanne Barr is one risky prospect. We’ve got details on how ABC execs are afraid the show will fail without its longtime lead character.
Thanks to what Roseanne Barr calls a “misunderstood tweet” in May, she quickly was fired by ABC and the wildly successful revival of her 1990s sitcom was cancelled. The network thought her tweet about Barack Obama aide Valerie Jarrettwas racist and within hours Roseanne was out of a job. Now the show is going on without her and the rest of the cast is coming back for The Conners. ABC execs are fearful it will be a flop without the program’s star and formerly title character. Sources tell DailyMailTV that it would have been far more prudent to give her a suspension rather than immediately terminate her.

Jeez, what’d Tim Allen do???
Disneycorp just needs to die.
Just keep up the virtue signaling and make the stock nearly worthless. Assets would then be sold off at fire sale prices.
They blew it.
They blew it, they were wrong, and they still don’t get that so many Americans now just do not trust them.
At all.
They will never win back that trust.
Never.
May it sink on the first night.
Can I be the first to say that Valerie Jarret does look like an Muslim ape?
“And the decision was made earlier since they all acted so quickly, including withdrawing all of her old reruns.”
Yes. Totalitarian non-personing. She was meant to no longer have existed.
Good.
Safe and sound.
That looks like a man.
Jeez, what’d Tim Allen do???

He committed a very serious crime. He is a conservative, who plays a conservative.
Double zinger.
Luckily, Fox picked up this highly successful show.
I saw one of her reruns today on TVLand.
Krrr-rash.
Now, now...I’m sure this will be just as successful as such great spinoffs as “AfterMASH,” “Sanford Arms” and “Joey.”
She looks like James earl jones.
He might hit it.... with a 2 x 4.
I always wanted to date Valerie. Such a hip and whip smart little Jewish girl. About as guilty as Honey West or Diana Rigg.
they just regret not making money get woke o broak
They don’t want any Trump voters watching anyway.
Are you serious?
Roseanne was one of the best TV shows in history. It accurately portrayed the life of a working-class family on network TV. People related to it and that's why it became popular.
