Fans Want 'Roseanne' To Continue -- Just Without Roseanne | HuffPost Entertainment

The success of the rebooted version of Roseanne on ABC may not have been due to its star, but rather the cast of characters around her.

Tweets posted on Tuesday backed the networks decision to remove actress Roseanne Barr after she posted a racist tweet about former Obama administration aide Valerie Jarrett. But people also expressed interest in seeing the show revamped, perhaps as The Conner Family, to focus on the sitcoms family after the main character dies:

It worked for Valerie into The Hogan Family.

Ya know, I didnt watch Rosanne, but I sure would watch The Connor Family. https://t.co/XnX1fjX3aL

Call it "Not Roseanne" and set the show in an inner city hardware store the Connor family won after Roseanne died in a horrible key duplicating accident.

Even Jimmy Kimmel endorsed a Roseanne-less Roseanne in his monologue Tuesday night:
