Oh, yall weren’t playing about canceling Roseanne figuratively and literally.

ABC gave the racist, i mean, revived show the boot on Tuesday after Barr got dragged for an unsurprisingly, bigoted tweet.

But this isn’t the first (and won’t be the last time) a show was axed after receiving lots of backlash over insensitive content:

Paula’s Home Cooking 

Paula cried, Paula begged, Paula pleaded. But she was never able to bounce back into our soul food loving hearts after dropping the N-bomb.

All My Babies’ Mamas 

Shawty Lo’s reality show was suppose to showcase his life as a father of 11 children by 10 different women. But it didn’t even see the light of day.

The Cosby Show 

You know why this made the list. Damn, Bill.

Hit the flip for more.

7th Heaven 

Thanks to Stephen Collins’ child molestation scandal, 7th Heaven was pulled after 10 years on air and 10 more years in syndication.

Who’s Your Daddy?

On this wacky series, adopted children were given the chance to find out who their real father is for the chance to win some cash. After just one episode, the seres was canceled in 2004 for being just plain old weird.

Honey Boo Boo 

Mama June’s man Sugar Bear was exposed as a creepy sex offender, and America’s most shameless family was removed from the airwaves in 2014.

Basketball Wives Miami

Between Evelyn’s glass throwing debacles and Black women being called every vulgar word in the book, VH1 decided to silently cancel Basketball Wives Miami back in 2013. But the series returned shortly after with the ladies of LA.

The Michael Sam Project 

Michael Sam broke barriers as the first openly gay NFL star. But his blessing also turned out to be his curse because the show was never allowed to air. Agent’s felt that it would be a distraction from Sam getting picked for a team.

Sorority Sisters 

Greek organizations take their brother and sisterhoods pretty serious. So for ladies of DST, AKA, and ZPB to get on television, expose some of the organizations secrets and disrespect their sorors was down right blasphemy. VH1 cancelled the show in 2015, and five of the ladies were suspended from their sororities.

Heil, Honey I’m Home

A British sitcom about Adolf Hitler living next door to a Jewish couple — what could go wrong? The show was cancelled after one episode. Idiots.
