OK, technically she only implied he was an ape (which is the best kind of correct), but it was funnier this way.
This is interesting for a several reasons, with two in particular I'll mention here. The first is that Roseanne Barr was off the reservation on Twitter before they even gave her a new season. The second is that ABC also cancelled Last Man Standing after Tim Allen bitched about ABC. Put these together, and I think it's not unlikely that another network will pick up the revived Roseanne when the dust settles.
Another thing that stands out to me is that based on her apologies, Roseanne Barr reminds me of someone else I knew who very clearly had a B-cluster personality disorder (probably Borderline, possibly Narcissistic), and of stories of other people I've heard with such disorders. So it's kind of sad that her mental health issues have fucked over everyone else on the show, but now I wonder if she's a nightmare to work with.
My personal feeling is that ABC shouldn't have given her a new series in the first place. Hell if they wanted to revive the show they could have done a spinoff where Roseanne is dead, but then they couldn't have kept the name. That said, this rant doesn't seem all that much worse than some of her previous rants, so I find it kind of silly that this is where ABC draws the line.
