The Real Roseanne Show is a reality show that aired briefly in 2003 about actress and comedian Roseanne Barr hosting a cooking show, called Domestic Goddess. It premiered on ABC on August 6, 2003[1] to 5.5 million viewers.[2]

Domestic Goddess was scheduled to air September 20, 2003[3] but was canceled after Barr declared the pilot unfit to broadcast and due to her having an emergency hysterectomy,[4] which made reshoots impossible.[5] It would have aired on ABC Family.[6] Although 13 episodes were ordered, The Real Roseanne Show was consequently canceled the same day after airing only two episodes.[7]
