1. Summary of the results
The cast of Roseanne reacted with disappointment and condemnation to the show's cancellation, which was prompted by Roseanne Barr's racist tweet [1]. According to the sources, Sara Gilbert called the tweet 'abhorrent' [1], while Emma Kenney stated that 'bullies do not win. Ever.' [1]. Other cast members, such as Michael Fishman, also condemned Barr's tweet, calling it 'reprehensible' [2]. The sources also mention that some cast members, including John Goodman, have other projects lined up [3]. The reactions from the cast were not uniform, but the majority of the cast members publicly denounced Barr's racist tweet [1] [2] [4].
2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints
Some sources do not provide a comprehensive view of the entire cast's reaction to the show's cancellation [5]. For example, Sandra Bernhard's reaction to the cancellation is mentioned, but not elaborated upon [5]. Additionally, the sources do not provide detailed information about the reactions of all cast members, such as Laurie Metcalf and Lecy Goranson [3] [6]. The sources also do not discuss the potential long-term consequences of the show's cancellation on the cast members' careers [2] [3]. Furthermore, the sources do not provide an in-depth analysis of the network's decision to cancel the show, and how it may have affected the cast [3] [4].
3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement
The original statement does not provide any context about the reason for the show's cancellation, which may lead to misinformation about the cast's reaction [5]. The sources suggest that the cast's reaction was largely negative towards Barr's tweet, but the original statement does not provide this context [1] [4]. The original statement may also be biased towards presenting a neutral or unclear view of the cast's reaction, when in fact, the majority of the cast members publicly condemned Barr's tweet [1] [2] [4]. The sources that provide more detailed information about the cast's reaction, such as Variety and ABC News, may be more reliable sources of information on this topic [1] [3].
