The hypocrisy is the cesspool known as Hollywood is sickening….and nowhere is it on greater display, than with the recent cancellation of Roseanne’s reboot sitcom.
ABC immediately pulled the plug on the wildly popular “Roseanne” sitcom after a tweet the star wrote, attacking a former Obama top aide.
The following day, trashy and low-rated late-night talk show host Samantha Bee took to the airwaves and accused Ivanka Trump of having a sexual relationship with her father, and then called her a “feckless c*nt.”
Of course, nothing happened to Bee – oh, well, she did get an award for her amazing contributions to society the next day.
Now, the buffoons at ABC are planning to reboot the reboot, only this time, “Roseanne” will not include ROSEANNE.
When fans heard abut this “brilliant” idea, they let ABC know exactly how they felt.
Three days after ABC threw comedian Roseanne Barr under the bus Tuesday, cancelling her top-rated sitcom over a “racist” remark she had posted to Twitter about a former Obama administration official, word broke that the network wants to revive her show without her — partly because of financial reasons.
Sources familiar with the inner-workings at ABC informed Variety magazine that the network’s head honchos want to re-brand “Roseanne” by eliminating Barr’s character and refocusing the plot on the character’s daughter, Darlene.
But the unnamed sources warned that reviving “Roseanne” could stir up additional drama for the network. Depending on the exact terms of Barr’s contract, the production company behind her sitcom may have to buy out her stake.
“One big problem to overcome is the fact that Barr has a significant financial interest in the series, and there is concern that a new iteration that would benefit her financially would be a non-starter for everyone involved,” Variety noted.
The irony is that part of the reason ABC is so desperate to revive “Roseanne” is because of all the money it owes to the show’s actors, writers and producers.
“Key actors are said to have a minimum 10-episode guarantee for Season 2, which had an initial order of 13 episodes,” Variety reported. “The highest echelon of writers and producers also have some minimum episodic guarantees.”
What ABC doesn’t seem to be factoring into its potential plans is whether or not any of the sitcom’s fans would tune in to watch a Barr-less rebrand.
As it stands, a number fans have pledged to boycott ABC over what they perceive to be its glaring double standards and hypocrisy:

Some, including black political commentator Larry Elder, have also argued that Barr’s “racist” remark about former President Barack Hussein Obama’s senior adviser, Valerie Jarrett, wasn’t actually racist, let alone worthy of her show being cancelled.
In a tweet posted Wednesday, Elder noted that liberal comedian Bill Maher — the host of the HBO talk show “Real Time with Bill Maher” — once suggested President Donald Trump is “the spawn of his mother having sex with an orangutan.”
Yet “Real Time with Bill Maher” remains on air, as does “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee,” a late-night TBS show whose host described the president’s daughter as a “feckless c–t” this week. But when Barr compared Jarrett to an ape from “Planet of the Ape” all hell broke lose.
