That's harsh: After killing off "Roseanne," ABC's going to kill off Roseanne Connor

Just to be clear, we weren’t amused by Roseanne Barr’s tweet that described Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett as the lovechild of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Planet of the Apes — a tweet Barr later attributed to “Ambien tweeting,” which earned her a tweet from the maker of Ambien:

We were pretty shocked at how quickly pulled the plug on the money-printing “Roseanne” reboot, though. Sure, Samantha Bee can call Ivanka Trump a “feckless c**t” on TV for posting a picture of her holding her child and get a laugh or two, but the cancelation of “Roseanne” brought Debra Messing to tears of joy because somehow it was a repudiation of Donald Trump. TDS is serious business.

There was a lot of speculation that ABC would try to continue the show without Roseanne Barr, and star John Goodman seemed to confirm this weekend that, yes, they’re killing off Roseanne Connor and airing “The Connors” without her starting in October.

Goodman told the Sunday Times U.K. that the show must go on, but he defended Barr against charges of racism. “I know, I know, for a fact that she’s not a racist,” he told the paper.

One interesting fact: Barr reportedly relinquished her rights to the characters (and the profits) so the show could continue. Regardless of how you feel about Barr, that’s a pretty classy move, considering how many people stood to lose their jobs over her tweet.

It is going to be weird kicking off what used to be a family sitcom with the mother’s death. Good luck.

Speaking of classy, there are plenty of tweets that are anything but, but we’ll just offer one example just to show how bad TDS can get:

Watch Samantha Bee steal that gag on her show Wednesday.
