15. That Anthem Debacle Had Consequences

Apparently not everyone enjoyed Barr’s off-key rendition of the National Anthem and it led to Little Rosey, Roseanne’s Saturday-morning cartoon spinoff, being canceled. The cartoon featured an 8-year-old Roseanne—not voiced by her—and had thirteen episodes air in fall 1990. However, after Barr’s July 1990 performance, she divulged that she was called to New York where the then head of ABC Saturday morning children’s programming, who was a Marine, said he was “personally offended” by her rendition. Little Rosey was canceled and replaced by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
