John Goodman is a great actor, but it’s pretty hard to have a show with the central pivotal character missing.
Via Free Beacon:
ABC announced Thursday that it will go forward with a spinoff of the popular sitcom “Roseanne,” only without the eponymous character.
The show’s star, Roseanne Barr, was let go and the show was canceled abruptly three weeks ago following a racist tweet by Barr, but ABC said in a release that the network is starting a new show about the Conner family without her.
Barr stoked outrage on social media after she compared former Obama administration official Valerie Jarrett to an ape, and she will not be involved in the new show, tentatively titled “The Conners.”
“Roseanne Barr will have no financial or creative involvement in the new series,” ABC said.
