First, her one tweet was extremely racist. Not acceptable. And you might want to do research next time. After Cosby was found guilty, his show was pulled. And it wasn't ABC that had the reruns on. You might want to contact the company that owns the show and aired it.Who is 'they' -- ABC. With those kinds of ratings - it wasn't just a certain 'kind of viewer' watching.https://pagesix.com/2018/04/26/cosby...uilty-verdict/

Seeing as not one advertiser said anything before the show got pulled, and it was the top rated show on Tuesday nights, I suspect it had more to do with the racist comment that Roseanne made


From my experience, I have many friends who hate Trump more than I but they loved watch the show.

I think you are assuming too much and making up scenarios to suit the narrative that ABC only canceled Roseanne because she's a conservative.

She's a racist -- who happens to be a conservative.

Okay so the first tweet was all Ambien -- cut to how many hours later and she's still going crazy. She's lost it.

She is tweeting at fake news about other people to try and take them down, she's making up stuff...she's nuts.

Look -- this isn't about a Trump policy. This is a celebrity gone crazy.

Like Mel Gibson did.

Charlie Sheen,

etc.......

Default Roseanne attacks co-star...

She says he "threw under the bus' because he condemned her tweets.

Yes, but when someone is addicted to wing-nut conspiracy theories, he/she will tend to post some fairly bizarre NON-factual information, and that person's post checks-off all of the boxes for wing-nut land.
Inaccurate? Check!
Bizarre? Check!
Borderline racist? Check!

Cosby is on Amazon Prime. Didn't know it had been pulled other places. My mistake.

They did remove Cosby's reruns and later added them back on for the sake of the other actors on the show. I think it was Roseanne's recent show that was cancelled. Her reruns should continue but if they don't, they will eventually be back on the air. It was a good show.

What a POS she is.

Speaking of that did anyone comment on the President finally speaking up? Did he condemn the comments? No he used the platform to cry like a little b-word (again) that mean old ABC has been hard on him.

Guess a racist gonna racist so it's not in his nature to be critical of the comment.

I recently saw the Cosby show on the "Bounce" network (free digital TV), but there is a release dated back in mid April saying they are going to remove reruns. Maybe they have to run through a season and find something to fill in the time slot.
