Executives at ABC now believe that their decision to fire Roseanne Barr from their revival of Roseanne was a mistake and the network’s spin-off series The Conners may flop, according to a report from Mail Online.
Two senior executives at the network told the outlet that ABC President Channing Dungey’s decision to immediately fire the actress and cancel her show after she made racially charged comments about former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett was a “knee-jerk” decision that they would later regret.
“We didn’t think it through properly. What Roseanne did was wrong but we shouldn’t have rushed to fire her. It was almost a knee-jerk reaction by Ben [Sherwood] and Channing [Dungey] who should have launched an investigation,” one insider reportedly said. “This would have given them more time to listen to the public, advertisers and cast members to determine the best decision.”

Yah think???? You bet it's doomed....we will watch it again once Fox purchases the Roseanne show rights and puts it on after "Last Man Standing"! Until then let "The Conner's" die a slow miserable death along with ABC ratings!
They PREACH one thing, but in the end, it's all about another thing ----

Maybe she could come back as the ghost of Roseanne, her spirit trapped in Purgatory while its fate is under examination by God. To get into Heaven she'll have to redeem herself on Earth.
Season 1, Ep. 3..."The Goners".
