I was watching news on YouTube and saw that ABC cancels "Roseanne" reboot after a racist tweet. What can we expect from this?

Nothing intuitive here, but I imagine they'll try to get Fox to pick it up. BUT (BIG BUT) - Fox is trying to sell off its entertainment division to Disney, which also owns ABC, so that may end up quashing it.

The cancellation of Roseanne's show (Roseanne, you're fired!!!) sends such an important message to the citizens of our country and strongly influences other corporations to show moral responsibility in turn.  Disney (ABC) and Starbucks have taken the lead here and more fully represent who we are as a country than the current imbeciles in Congress and the president (small p and I'm leaving it) and his corrupt and morally bankrupt administration.  What a contrast.  These have been dark days indeed with the news of ICE separating children from their parents and the department of Health and Human Services misplacing children.  Add to that the false conspiracy theories, attacks on our institutions and myriad attempts to undermine the Mueller probe.  These are horrific times and the cancellation of Roseanne at terrific financial cost to Disney is a very important turn of events.  More, please.

Let's just all be clear about one thing: Disney knew she was a racist. They didn't fire her for being racist. They fired her for not keeping her racism under wraps long enough for them to make a profit. Had she continued to keep it on the D.L., she'd still have a show.

I saw the tweet, found it offensive. But that’s not a prediction

I think Barr has a medical problem. It feels like metabolic, in the blood or circulatory system. I also feel she had misgivings about doing the reboot, because she’s not up to the physical demands.
