I don't think the show will do well, but I think they did the right thing. Have to give Roseanne a little credit too, she could have been vindictive and kept them from moving forward with the spinoff.
They'll probably cancel the new show after the first season, but it gives a decent win-win-win for everyone involved. Advertisers are still will to pay to air commercials, studio gets paid, cast and crew gets paid for another year while they figure out where they're working next year.
I love John Goodman, and the actor who plays Darlene. But it won’t be the same, and I agree with your assessment. Overall, while I agree that Barr’s tweet was bad, I think it was a over-reaction by the network. I wouldn’t even of thought is was that racist (although certainly not nice). But I assume there was more context that I’m missing, because I certainly wouldn’t have known who she was talking about from the tweet that was shown. I can see where it could be racist, but especially when I didn’t know who it was about, that wasn’t my first assumption.
