'Roseanne' Reboot

Some shows are canceled over racist posts on social media by cast members, while some others meet their end as the main cast members face sexual assault accusations.

AceShowbiz - "Roseanne" was rebooted in 2018 with all the cast members returning, much to fansâ€™ delight. However, the revival was only short-lived no thanks to Roseanne Barr, who landed in hot water over her racist rant about former Obama administration official Valerie Jarrett on Twitter.

In a since-deleted tweet, the actress wrote, "muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj." Announcing the cancellation, Channing Dungey, president of ABC Entertainment, said in a statement at the time, "Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show." While "Roseanne" was cancelled, ABC developed its spin-off "The Conners" without Barr.
