- The "Roseanne" revival was canceled Tuesday after star Roseanne Barr sent a racist tweet about former President Barack Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett.
- The show was supposed to return in the fall for a second season.
- Fans are hitting social media with ideas of series that should be brought back to replace it.
Fans have plenty of ideas for what should replace the "Roseanne" revival following its cancellation Tuesday.
The series, which had been a ratings boon for ABC, is about a Midwestern family, so some people pointed out some "non-racist" shows about working-class families that could take the empty time slot, like "The Middle."

Is it too soon for ABC to bring back The Middle? The best sitcom of the last decade. #Roseannepic.twitter.com/AZ47fIXswz

Others petitioned for "Marvel's Agent Carter" to get a second life.

Fans are full of both old and new shows that deserve another shot.
Since ABC has an open timeslot... maybe they can bring back #DesignatedSurvivor.

Even producer Bryan Fuller snuck in with a pitch, tweeting about bringing back his show "Pushing Daisies."
"Not to be opportunistic, but if you're itching to fill that #Roseanne slot with another former @ABCNetwork show," he wrote with a press photo from the season.

ABC had picked up the revival for a second season following the series' successful premiere. It was canceled Tuesday following star Roseanne Barr's racist tweet about former President Barack Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett.
A statement from Channing Dungey, the president of ABC Entertainment, stated: "Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show."
