Roseanne was controversially brought back to ABC to reboot her sitcom Roseanne in 2018. The reboot made the network nervous. Roseanne is known more recently for her controversial points of view than her comedy. When 22 million people watched the season premiere, ABC held its breath, hoping the bubble wouldn’t burst.

Burst it did when Roseanne when on a late-night Twitter rant she contributed to Ambien. Using the social network, she called Valerie Jarrett the child of the “muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes.” ABC canceled the show the next day and is looking to reboot it again without Roseanne so hundreds of people don’t lose their jobs.
