ABC executives regret their "knee-jerk" decision to fire Roseanne Barr, and now believe that the network's spin-off series The Conners will fail under the weight of its own politically correct hubris, reports the Daily Mail, citing two anonymous execs.

"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," said one insider, who added "This would have given them more time to listen to the public, advertisers and cast members to determine the best decision."

The Roseanne reboot - which quickly became ABC's #1 top-rated series in April, was quickly derailed after the network suddenly fired star Roseanne Barr after she compared former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett to if the "Muslim brotherhood & Planet of the Apes had a bay," comments which were condemned by Dungey as "abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values."

Barr, 65, was fired before a single advertiser pulled out, just three months into the show's return. Her co-stars immediately turned on her, publicly shunning Roseanne for her tweet.

Simple solution: Hire her back.

No, the writers have decided to kill her off on the show, literally. When this new thing starts, the first episode will start with Roseannes death.

This show is going to flop badly.

Unless they bring her back.... like they did the old man.... Remember how they did that?

Give the Conners a chance. It hasn't even aired on tv yet!

The left never thinks through....never. Then are stunned when their antics blow up in their faces.

I won't be watching the new show. I was watching the reboot of Roseanne but have no interest in the new show they are putting out.

ABC cancelled Last Man Standing, too.

Those decision makers at ABC need to get canned.

tough shit. Many spinoffs fail miserably. Thats show business. The good thing is that Barr is not employed by them.
