One of my favorite television shows to watch with my family as I was growing up was "Roseanne."This show depicts a lower-middle-class family in Lanford, Illinois, going through all the struggles a family during that time would go through.

This show was revolutionary at the time it first came out in 1988. It was known to make viewers think and push the limits on what was acceptable for television.

It was one of the first shows of its kind to have a blue-collar family, it showed struggles with money and marital issues that other shows at the time didn't go into, and it featured many homosexual characters.

Roseanne Barr, the lead character, was known to push the limits with what the show would address. One of the first episodes I can remember being revolutionary was season 8, episode 8 in which Roseanne's son DJ learns the truth behind the pilgrims and native Americans relationship. While all of the other parents are appalled that the students aren't learning about the peaceful, untrue version of the story, Roseanne takes the issue one step further and invites a Native American man to her home for Thanksgiving to teach her children about cultural differences.

"Roseanne" was also one of the first shows of its kind to address gay relationships and gay rights. Many of Roseanne's friends and one of her bosses on the show were gay. Most television shows in the late 1980s and early 1990s made no mention of gay relationships.

Barr and her show were known for pushing the limits with what was seen as "acceptable" in society at the time.

The children on the show also dealt with complex issues such as sex, drinking, and smoking pot. Most family shows that came out during this time did not elaborate on these topics since they were seen as taboo.

I always thought of Barr as a forward-thinking, progressive woman. So, of course, I was excited for the reboot of the "Roseanne"show. The first episode, however, was not what I expected.

During the first episode of the reboot of "Roseanne,"Jackie and Roseanne are feuding because Jackie voted democratic in the latest election. I remember being highly surprised by the topic of this episode because I would have thought the Roseanne Conner character, and Roseanne Barr herself would be a Democrat.

To my surprise, Barr is quite the Trump supporter. After I found this information out, I did not feel right watching her show. In the past I had thought of her show as a platform for the progressive agenda; I couldn't bear to watch it if she would be pushing Trump's agenda.

When I found out ABC canceled the reboot of "Roseanne,"I was not surprised. The jokes were poorly written and the acting was not great. When I found out the reason behind the cancellation, I became highly disappointed in Barr; I felt as though my childhood was a lie.

The show had been canceled because of a racist tweet Roseanne had made.

Some of Barr's targets included Valerie Jarrett who used to work under Obama's administration as an aide and Chelsea Clinton. The tweet below was made directed towards Valerie Jarrett (VJ).

Barr later apologized and blamed Ambien for the tweets she made; however, the damage had already been done. Cast members of the show made comments that they don't agree with her statements and ABC was quick to cancel the show.

I am not at all surprised that ABC canceled the show. Even with FOX in this political climate, ABC cannot be associated with a woman who is willing to make comments like these.

I believe that ABC ultimately made the right decision to save their asses and get a crazy person out of the spotlight.

It is so disappointing that someone who could once push the limits in a progressive way is now trying to push her agenda on people by hurting others.

While I am all for people having their own point-of-view, I am disappointed that she is not who she made herself out to be in the first edition of "Roseanne." I thought she would be the type of person to stand up for Valerie Jarrett and to respect others.

I hope that the loss of the show weighs heavily on Barr; maybe it'll help her become a better person.
