It does conjure up some disturbing imagery, doesn't it? 😉

Of the cast I feel most sorry for those who hadn't worked a lot since the original show ended. Sometimes it's obvious why, but Lecy Goranson, in the clips I saw, was very good this time around. I hope she gets some work from this and isn't tarnished by Roseanne herself.

 

Like the tweet from Todd Van Der Woof (?) said, I'm surprised ABC cancelled it. Yes, the ratings were falling, and would have continued to do so, but that was from a huge height.

 

They made the right decision though.

 

There was no option. ABC shouldn’t be praised or criticized for the decision. It was simply recognizing reality.

I wasn't praising them. I was just surprised. The way America is going I didn't think they would.

Of course, you knew he couldn't keep quiet...

The cast wasn’t returning. There was no way to go on. 

I think it's a decision that speaks well to them, though, and maybe to the nation at large. There are still things we can't countenance and can walk back from. And frankly I suspect a lot of the cast and crew would've walked along with Wanda Sykes and Sandra Bernhard even if ABC had waffled. That was certainly the tone I got from Sara Gilbert's initial comments, and I can't see Laurie Metcalf or John Goodman being far behind. Those are all people who stuck with Roseanne day in and day out through all her craziness in the '80s and '90s, but this was too far.

Yes, the girl playing the granddaughter tweeted that she would have left if the show had not been cancelled.

Yeah, I forgot her as well. I also can't see the parents of the two child actors (especially Jayden Rey) allowing them to remain. Ames McNamara was so good, BTW. I hope he gets something quickly. That's another tragedy, losing Darlene and her son's dynamic and what was obviously planned to be a long-running thread with David continuing to recur.

I'm sure the child actors will move on to other projects. They've proved their mettle.

Watching Ames McNamara WAS like watching young Sara Gilbert.... I think that’s the worst part. He was only going to get better. 

S10 has also been taken off ABC On Demand...at least on DirecTV.

According to CNN, today was the BTS staff's first day back at work on Season 2.

 

Quote

The view inside Disney, according to sources, was that Tuesday was the third or fourth time when Barr's tweets had presented a problem for ABC. This controversy was by far the worst yet.

 

Tuesday's racist and bizarre tweets were "unsurvivable," one of the sources said. "Enough was enough." [...] "There was no way to come back from this," one of the sources said.

 

[...]

 

Later in the day, an ABC executive expressed regret that more than 200 people involved in the making of "Roseanne" would be out of work as a result of the cancellation.

 

But the source pointedly blamed Barr, saying "that's the collateral damage that Roseanne has to live with."

 

Barr is said to be drafting a contrite statement, although it's unclear when or if she will release it.
