I have watched a few clips.  Looks pretty funny.
I wonder how they will handle Mark's (real life) death.

Wellllllll, I watched!   ;D

I enjoyed it.  A lot of dry humor.  Something to offend everyone.   Silly7

Some people really do NOT need Twitter accounts.

ABC canceled its hit sitcom "Roseanne" on Tuesday after the show's biggest star, Roseanne Barr, went on a racist Twitter rant.

"Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show," ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey said in a statement.

Disney CEO Bob Iger added on Twitter that "There was only one thing to do here, and that was the right thing."

As one news person said... "ABC should not have been surprised."
I don't see another network picking up the show, because I don't think most of the actors could continue working with Roseanne.  If they did, they would automatically be included in the racist category.

They probably could kill her off or something, and then rename the show.

Let viewers decide... whether ANY show stays on the air or not. 
But then...co-workers, networks, sponsors, etc don't want to be associated/linked.  I dunno... there are just so many angles.

Interesting...

Keeping some of the Conners on the air for the 2018-2019 season would certainly take the strain off of ABC’s pocketbook. If the show goes away completely, the network would have to shell out a cancellation penalty to Carsey-Werner, which produces Roseanne, and in turn, the studio would still have to pay the cast.

I guess they can always make her have a sudden heart attack--or involuntary committal to a nut ward.
