Roseanne Barr

Project: Roseanne

It’s one thing to get fired from a show and a whole other deal to get the entire program canceled. However, this can happen to anyone, even popular programs such as Roseanne. Of course, many will say that the cancelation was deserved, considering its main star’s insensitive and tone-deaf opinions, which were posted on social media. The funny thing is that the show had just returned to television, and quite successfully so, before all of it came crashing down. The fall happened quickly and following a year of success for Roseanne Barr. Her show had record ratings, but it wasn’t enough to save it from getting the axe.

The president of ABC Entertainment, Channing Dungey, was first to condemn the actress’ posts online. Saying that it was inconsistent with their values as a network and as such, they have chosen to completely shut down the production. Surely no financial advisor would be happy about this, but in this case, their choice was completely valid.
