Maybe Roseanne Barr isn’t heading back to TV, after all.
The “Roseanne” alum, who last January signed a deal with Universal Television to develop and star in a new comedy series for NBC, lashed out in a Thanksgiving weekend Twitter rant — bashing NBC, her show’s writer and swearing off TV in general.
Barr was set to co-write the NBC project, a multi-camera family comedy, with “Nurse Jackie” co-creator Linda Wallem — but, according to Barr, it hasn’t been much of collaboration.
Without calling out Wallem by name, Barr tweeted that the showrunner disappeared for seven weeks and didn’t return any of her calls. She also wrote that she was completely ignored by NBC when she objected to not being included in the writing process.
When she finally did see a script, Barr said it didn’t resonate with her.
Barr then went on to tease that she will write, direct, edit and star in a new Internet show about the development process.
She ended the rant by saying “all of hollywood is calling me for an interview: here’s my statement: i am done being mentally tortured — I quit.”
Barr, 61, won an Emmy for her work on “Roseanne,” which aired for nine seasons on ABC. She also starred in a 2011 Lifetime reality series “Roseanne’s Nuts,” which chronicled her life on a macadamia nut farm in Hawaii.
This is the second comedy project Barr has developed at NBC. In the 2011-12 season, she filmed a pilot for “Downwardly Mobile” with her “Roseanne” co-star John Goodman, which the network did not pick up.
A spokesman for Universal TV had no comment on Barr’s remarks, and reps for Barr did not respond to requests for comment.
But, as of Sunday, Barr was sticking with her TV strike, updating her Twitter feed to say “my new internet tv sitcom will feature nudity, obscene language, violence politically incorrect analysis & channelling The Immutable Goddess.”
