Tim Allen and Roseanne Barr Cancel Their Non-Woke Show With ABC: “They Lost Their Credibility” (Page 4 ) | September 14, 2024

Following the Trump-Harris debacle, Tim Allen and Roseanne Barr released a joint statement, confirming they were canceling their show with ABC and explaining why. In typical no-nonsense fashion, Allen opened with, “ABC has lost its credibility. If they can’t even host a fair debate without turning it into a fact-checking circus, what hope is there for honest entertainment?”

Barr added, “I got kicked off my own show for a joke. Meanwhile, ABC’s out here giving Kamala Harris a free pass while fact-checking everything Trump says. Where’s the fairness in that? We’re not going to work with a network that bends over backward for the woke agenda and pretends it’s journalism.”

The statement quickly went viral, with conservative media hailing the pair as champions of free speech and anti-woke warriors. It wasn’t long before #ABCisOverParty was trending, with fans of Allen and Barr vowing to boycott the network. And for once, it wasn’t about a sitcom—it was about a culture war.

It’s safe to say that ABC is feeling the sting. The network had pinned high hopes on America Uncanceled as a way to win back conservative viewers who felt alienated by Hollywood’s progressive leanings. But now, with Allen and Barr pulling out, ABC is left holding an empty promise and facing the wrath of a growing anti-woke movement.

Insiders say that ABC executives are privately reeling from the decision, knowing that they’ve lost a show with major potential to attract a broader audience. “We thought we were balancing the scales,” said one anonymous exec. “We had The Conners for our progressive viewers, and we were banking on Tim and Roseanne to give us the other side. Now, we’re left with neither.”

As for what ABC might do next, sources suggest that the network is scrambling to fill the void left by America Uncanceled. Rumors are swirling that they may try to develop another “non-woke” show, but with Allen and Barr out of the picture, finding the right talent may prove impossible. After all, how many high-profile conservatives in Hollywood are still standing?

While ABC is left licking its wounds, Allen and Barr seem unbothered. In fact, the two are reportedly in talks with several other networks and streaming platforms eager to pick up where ABC left off. Fox News, naturally, has already reached out to the duo, hoping to bring them aboard for their new streaming service, Fox Nation. “We know there’s an audience for this kind of show,” a Fox executive said, “and we’re more than happy to give Tim and Roseanne a platform where they can be themselves—without the fact-checkers.”

But Allen and Barr may have even bigger plans. In an era of DIY media, the pair is also considering launching their own platform, where they can control the narrative, unfiltered and uncensored. With their combined star power and a legion of fans ready to tune in, it wouldn’t be surprising if America Uncanceled found a new home—free from the constraints of traditional networks and the “woke mob.”
