Producers of axed sitcom Roseanne are set to meet with the show's former network as early as today to discuss the possibility of moving forward without Roseanne Barr.
Roseanne — which originally ran from 1988-96 — was rebooted in March this year to huge ratings but was abruptly cancelled this week over a racist tweet sent by Barr, in which she called a former Obama aide an "ape".
The ABC Network received plenty of praise for taking a stand and cancelling the cash-cow series, but it also left them in the awkward position of putting dozens of hardworking cast and crew out of a job.
Even Barr, who's Twitter response has swung between apologetic and defiant, has indicated her regret over the issue.
