– Izjava Roseanne na Twitteru je odvratna, neukusna i nedosljedna s našim vrijednostima, pa smo odlučili otkazati show – rekao je Channing Dungey, predsjednik ABC Entertainmenta.
Roseanne je na Twitteru napisala da je bivša Obamina savjetnica Valerie Jarret ekvivalent islamističkom političkom pokretu “muslimansko bratstvo i planet majmuna su imali dijete”, no poslije se izvinila “zbog loše šale” na račun Jarret.

“Roseanne” je bio najveći hit ABC-a u sezoni 2017-2018. Prosječno je taj show gledalo 18,7 miliona ljudi, odmah iza CBS-ove serije “Teorija velikog praska”.
Originalni show “Roseanne” se prikazivao od 1988. do 1997., a u centru radnje su bili članovi porodice Conner, s pretilim roditeljima koji se teško probijaju kroz život. Show je bio hvaljen zbog realističnog prikaza života radničke klase.
