Program producers are reportedly continuing to brainstorm about a possible replacement for “Roseanne,” which was cancelled Tuesday in the wake of star Roseanne Barr’s racist tweet. They plan to meet in coming days with executives of the Disney-ABC Group to pitch possible scenarios for a spinoff or even a revamped “Roseanne” without Barr, sources told The Hollywood Reporter. Corporate officials have insisted that any reboot of the reboot not include Barr, nor benefit her in any way, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Barr was co-creator and executive producer of “Roseanne,” and isn’t likely to give up any of her rights easily. She said she “begged” Disney-ABC TV Group chief Ben Sherwood not to cancel the series.
