Why Roseanne shouldn’t have been cancelled
Did ABC make a mistake last month in cancelling Roseanne?
Few people would disagree that lead star/co-executive producer Roseanne Barr’s May 29 tweet about former White House adviser Valerie Jarrett (“Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby = vj”) was incredibly offensive.
Yet many don’t understand why the show’s entire cast and crew had to pay the piper for one individual’s mistake.
Indeed, there’s an argument to be made that Roseanne (the series) should have been allowed to continue long after Roseanne (the actress) apologized for her ill-advised remark.
