ABC announced later in the day that it had reversed the renewal decision and canceled "Roseanne"; network president Channing Dungey stated that Barr's remarks were "abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values." ABC pulled a rerun that was scheduled to air that night, replacing it with an episode of "The Middle", and suspended its campaign for the series to be considered for nomination at the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards.
