Clear your schedule, John Goodman — “Roseanne” isn’t over for you.
ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel made some cracks Tuesday at the expense of his employer, which earlier had canceled the highest-rated show on television after star Roseanne Barr tweeted her latest malarky.
“We don’t have that much on this network,” Kimmel said. “We’re hoping the NBA Finals go 11 games this year.”

“We’re still airing ‘America’s Funniest Home Videos,'” he added.
Kimmel then rebooted “Roseanne” for his ABC bosses, removing Barr’s character Roseanne Conner and making it mostly about Dan (Goodman).

Upfronts season has come and gone, and that means broadcast networks have canceled many a show to make room for their newly-ordered series (Or because their lead star sent out a racially-charged tweet that received immediate backlash). But not every program that got the ax went out with bad Nielsen numbers. Here's a look at the highest-rated shows didn't make the cut for the 2018-19 slate… unless they were saved by NBC. (We're looking at you, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine.") Ratings are based on Nielsen's "most current" data stream, which includes a week's worth of delayed viewing where available. Least-viewed is first, most-watched last. And, yes, there are ties.
