Whether you think it’s fair or not, Roseanne has officially been canceled at ABC.

After series creator and star Roseanne Barr shared a series of racist tweets, including one where she called former Barack Obama aide Valerie Jarrett the product of the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes, ABC decided to abruptly cancel the hit series, despite its status as the No. 1 comedy series on broadcast television.
