Tim Allen and Roseanne Barr Cancel Their Non-Woke Show With ABC: “They Lost Their Credibility”

Tim Allen and Roseanne Barr Cancel Their Non-Woke Show With ABC: “They Lost Their Credibility” | September 16, 2024

In a dramatic twist that has left ABC executives scrambling and conservative audiences nodding in collective agreement, Tim Allen and Roseanne Barr have officially canceled their highly anticipated “non-woke” show with ABC. The reason? According to the duo, ABC’s handling of the recent Trump-Harris debate, and the subsequent backlash, was the final straw in what they’re calling the network’s complete “loss of credibility.”

Allen and Barr, who had planned to co-create a series that would serve as a middle finger to political correctness, identity politics, and all things “woke,” have walked away from the project, citing ABC’s “overreach” in trying to fact-check the debate and, more importantly, “appease the woke mob.” Their decision has sent ripples through Hollywood, but it’s the audience—particularly the legions of non-woke warriors across America—that are really feeling the burn.

The show, tentatively titled America Uncanceled, was supposed to be the next big thing for ABC. Tapping into the simmering resentment of the cultural and political elite, Allen and Barr envisioned a sitcom that tackled controversial topics like cancel culture, the erosion of free speech, and the supposed tyranny of vegan-friendly food options. It was to be a comedic safe space for those who felt stifled by political correctness, where jokes about snowflakes and virtue-signaling could flow freely without fear of online mobs demanding apologies.

And it wasn’t just the subject matter that had people talking. The casting alone was a conservative fever dream—Tim Allen, who has never been shy about his political views, and Roseanne Barr, the queen of controversy herself, fresh from her own comeback attempts post-scandal. Together, they were ready to take on the “woke agenda,” armed with punchlines about participation trophies and triggered liberals.
