We've brought the q screen panel back in this week to look at a big story in the world of television. Today, arts and entertainment writer John Semley and CBC's Amanda Parris join Tom Power to discuss the news that ABC has cancelled its short-lived reboot of Roseanne after its star posted a racist message on Twitter about Valerie Jarrett, a former advisor to Barack Obama. Semley and Parris have talked about Roseanne a few times on q, including right after it premiered back in March of this year.
