My wife had a great idea to save the show and to prevent the hundreds of people that were involved with the show from losing their jobs AND make an appeasement to the Lefty Social Justice Warriors.
Roseanne is replaced with Rosie O'donnell ! Just trade one overweight loudmouth obnoxious woman for another.
I don’t recognize this world I live in. Now everyone is in trouble for everything they say or do or even things they said or did years ago. It didn’t used to be that people were castigated for every misstep they took. It’s like people are just waiting for someone to do or say something so the mob can attack. We teach kids not to bully, but adults bully everyone who voices an opinion that differs from theirs. Everyone is ready to attack.
I am not saying what Roseanne said was OK. But why was it OK for people to call George W. Bush “chimp?” Because he’s not black it was OK to call him that? People make mean comments constantly about Trump’s appearance and everything else about him. Saturday Night Live makes fun of everyone. That’s what comedians do. I guess I don’t see why it is OK in some instances and not in others.

“I’m a black man and I stand with @therealroseanne! Yes, she made a horrible joke and she apologized.
I see comedians, actors, etc make the same jokes and get applauded for it. This is outrageous.”
What Rosanne said was down right disgusting, and ABC was totally in the right for cancelling the show. Having said that, it's very telling how they've done nothing to Whoopi Goldberg in regards to the repulsive shirt she wore depicting the President shooting his brains out. Also very telling how they seem quick to cancel shows that have a conservative overtone (Last Man Standing), yet the View lives on.
I really feel for all the people out of work. A show like that could have been a long term job for those crew people in addition to the actors. A good buddy of mine was a cameraman and was lucky enough to find a series that lasted 6 years for him. That's a tough biz.

I despise whoopi Goldberg, but lets call a spade a spade.
The pic on the right, which is a blurred out image of President Trump shooting himself in the head, is a fake, a photo shop. The pic on the left is real.

Meanwhile subjects that have been debunked 50 different ways live on.

Here's the difference. President are not "spokesman" the Presidency is not a positiin that comes with a brand. The Presidency is a position in itself lends to criticism.
Disney/ABC are for profit entities. She represents them.
And there was plenty of outrage when that insult came to President Bush. Correct me if I'm wrong but the Dixie chicks said they were ashamed of this country and they pretty much haven't worked since
Interestingly enough Rosanne herself said don't defend her

I reckon if I don't get in lock step with those that want everyone to be exactly alike then I would be included.
Mind you .. I am not justifying what she said or did. I find it repulsive.
But these emotional reactions from some are getting too much.
Personally, I think she has a mental condition.
