“Rosanne” was the biggest success of the last broadcast TV season… and ABC has decided that they don’t want any more of it.

‘Roseanne’ Canceled at ABC Following Racist Tweet

Early Tuesday, star, head writer and exec producer Barr attacked Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to former President Barack Obama, in a since-deleted tweet in which she said “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj.” Barr subsequently apologized: “I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me — my joke was in bad taste.”

And due to that bad joke, everyone who works on the show is now unemployed again.

But wait! There’s more!
