What Roseanne posted via Twitter was inappropriate, tasteless and abhorrent to say the least. She should face ramifications for her juvenile and hurtful actions. She should. Sara Gilbert, Laurie Metcalf, Michael Fishman, John Goodman, Estelle Parsons, Lecy Goranson, Natalie West, Emma Kenney and all of the other actors, not to mention the writers, directors and everyone else involved....they shouldn't. They didn't do anything wrong. Matter of fact they condemned Roseanne's statements.
Yet through ABC's cancellation of ROSEANNE, it is them moreso facing the consequences of Roseanne Barr's actions than it is Roseanne Barr facing them.
It is also a punishment to us, the fans.
ROSEANNE is currently the #2 ranked show, at a 6.6 rating according to the Nielsen ratings. It's clear that America loves the show, and there is a high probability that the show could continue with high ratings, even if it has to be without Roseanne Barr herself. FULLER HOUSE strongly suggest this possibility and if ABC won't, hopefully another network, Hulu, Amazon Prime or Netflix will.
Roseanne Barr screwed up and its cool that she's facing the music for it, but the rest of us shouldn't be.
