Lifetime has pulled the plug on Roseanne Barr’s reality series Roseanne’s Nuts after one season. The comedian broke the news on her Twitter feed. “Roseanne’s Nuts has been cancelled,” she said. “thanks everyone for watching!” The writing had been on the wall. After starting off with a 0.7 rating among adults 18-49, Roseanne’s Nuts featuring Barr working on her macadamia nut plantation in Hawaii spiraled downward to a 0.3 demo rating before the network exiled the show to the low-trafficked Friday 10 PM slot for the last 3 weeks. The series wrapped its first (and final) season this past Friday. On the scripted side, Barr has a script deal at 20th TV, but the project has yet to lock in a showrunner.

Damn. I love Roseanne. The show was smart, funny and original. I guess that would explain it being cancelled…
At least for the first few seasons it was brilliant. After that it was a mess.
I agree, I enjoyed watching the show, if was a good laugh.
I will so miss this humor of living on this wonderful Island of Hawaii. I live here and so enjoyed watching her funny point of view. You will be missed on the tube anyway. Thank You For the laughs.. Patti in Orchidland, HI
Why won’t she return to network TV — do none of the networks want her?
Well, as evidenced by the .3 demo, it would appear that its the viewers that don’t want her. If the show was good, it would have retained its initial audiences. But to steadily lose over 50% of your audience pretty much means people were turned off and word of mouth wasn’t good. Sorry if that sounds mean, but she just has a very limited audience appeal to a very small audience. She probably should just return to doing the club circuit.
It was the reality format that stank. She has a big audience for a scripted sitcom.
Thank g-d! Love Roseanne but the show was eh. Another 3 Ball hit-not.
that sucks – I really loved that show
Thoroughly enjoyed the show. Breath of fresh air in an otherwise stale reality programming world.
Wow, guess there just weren’t enough nielson famlies in the trailer parks of america…
I enjoyed seeing Roseanne again after all these years. I will miss the show.
i wonder if this has anything to do with her presence at the protest on Wall Street on Occupy Wall Street Sept 17th, Day of Rage.
Oh, please.
It has to do with nobody watching the show.
I loooove love Roseanne, but the show was your typical, run-of-the-mill “let’s create some whacky scenarios for the cameras!” when none of that is necessary. I ran into Roseanne and her bf Johnny at a party a few years ago, and I couldn’t believe Johnny wasn’t already famous; they’re both dynamic, interesting people on their on terms, without having to create drama between Roseanne and a TRAINER… ugh so obvious, come on. Seeing as though she really put her own spin and– shall I venture to say– reinvented the sitcom in her own way, I was really looking forward to her doing the same with the reality genre. Oh, well! I still have faith!
Nobody wants to see Roseanne Barr anymore, and thank God. I would have thought she’d have gotten the hint after her talk show tanked (late ’90s). Nobody wanted to see her back THEN, now she’s old to boot. A nut farm? Really? Stick with the syndicated reruns.
It’s over.
All i have to say is that you are so full of it.there is lots of os out there that still love roseanne,,,and would like to see much more of her.
Clearly people still want to see Rosanne, if she still had over half a million viewers by the end of the first season. My wife & I didn’t hear about the show until is was already cancelled! Rosanne, WE WANT TO SEE THE SHOW BACK ON THE AIR!!! Look at signing on with one of the Canadian networks, apparently these americans are too stupid to understand your wit & humour!
We have told many of our friends about the show and they love it! In Canada we didn’t have a chance to influence the ratings because the american ratings system doesn’t take us into consideration! There are tons of devoted Rosanne fans here that would love to see Season 2 of Rosanne’s Nuts on a Canadian network during Prime Time.
damnit! I loved this show and am going to sorely miss it. I’m totally shocked the ratings were so dreadful.
I was one of the .3 who watched it and really enjoyed it. Roseanne is a real original and a fascinating personality. It’s a shame. I’ll miss it.
Makes me sad. I enjoyed watching.
Thanks!
The only reality show I watched. It cracked me up and nope, I don’t even live in a trailer. It is too bad they got rid of it. That was the only reason I ever watched Lifetime.
I loved that show!! This is bullshit!
The episode with Diller getting absolutely shitfaced was easily the funniest half hour of television in the last decade.
I couldn’t agree more! That was absolutely fabulous episode. I am mesmerized by Roseanne and her purely raw nature. Paradoxical to see those that claim to despise Roseanne commenting on even this article. Why would they otherwise take the time? Saddened, it was one of the only shows I enjoyed watching to current.
I’m soooo disappointed. I looked forward to every new episode. LOVED the interaction between Roseanne, Johnny and Jake, just too funny!! Don’t know what I’ll do with my wed. nitghts!!!
darn i liked the show espically the irony of the title rose anns nuts that one could almost imply that rose ann was admiting she is a little insane. though odds are the viewing public has not seen the last of Rose ann by a long shot she will return in some form sooner or later.
I really hate that this show was cancelled I loved it and so did my niece Morgan. We use to watch it together whenever it was on. I think Roseanne is very funny and true and honest with herself and her fans. So sorry to see the show gone!!!!!
She fired me off her show. She’s a borderline personality. Pathological narcissist. And although she’s smart and occasionally funny, she really doesn’t have that much to say. She never did. A fat and screeching harpy apparently is not that entertaining in the long run.
I can not believe you cancelled Roseannes Nuts.I loved it and looked forward to seeing it everyweek. With all the drama and volience shows it was refreshing for me to see my old friend Roseanne back on tv. I watched her back when her first show started and still to this day watch retuns, one is on right now on my living room tv. Being 54 and not in the shows rating of the show, no asked me if I liked it. You are “NUTS” to not bring this show back. We need more reality fun shows for people my age. Love you Roseanne & Johnny
I AM SOOOOOOOOO PISSED!!! This was the best show on TV and I fell in love with Roseanne and BF Johnny from the first show. I hated the Rosanne series too back in the day? SUCKS!!!
BRING IT BACK, WE THE PEOPLE LOVED THIS SHOW!!!!!
I am really sad that Roseanne’s nuts got canceled!!!!! I think that the show was so down to earth. I really enjoyed watching. Anything worth watching is always canceled. I guess I really connect with Roseanne, I understand some of what she is all about.Sad in Seattle.
Separate the woman from her art for just one minute. We can do that with men with no problem. Her work is strong and funny. This reality show was entertaining and felt as though she was sharing a bit of her life with the viewers. Sure it was scripted, ALL reality shows are. At least this one was funny, entertaining and most of all had positive messages attached. I’m sorry her fan base did not support it enough to not let it get cancelled. I will miss it and I will still hope that another network picks it up.
Till then, “Don’t let the f–kers get you down, Roseanne!”
