LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Viacom Inc on Tuesday said it will stop airing reruns of ABC’s original “Roseanne” after the network canceled the top-rated series following racist tweets by its star Rosesanne Barr, a company spokesman said.

Viacom’s Paramount, TV Land and CMT cable networks had been broadcasting episodes of the original 1990s “Roseanne.”

It is still listed on the Guide but Night Court is what is on TV.

3. I think that means loss of royalties to the cast

And I hope each one of them files suit against her.

5. Thats what i have been thinking

All night how many people she put out of work by her stupidity and loss of income on the old shows. I hope they sue too.

I am surprised they all trusted her to work with her knowing the crazy things she has been saying.
