Another Roseanne Defector: Executive producer Jeff Harris will leave “Roseanne” after it wraps production Friday. Harris announced his departure in a full-page ad in Tuesday morning’s Daily Variety that read: “To my friends at Carsey-Werner Co., ABC, to the cast, crew and staff of ‘Roseanne’: My sincere and heartfelt thanks to all of you. I have chosen not to return to the show next season. Instead, my wife and I have decided to share a vacation in the peace and quiet of Beirut.” Harris replaced Matt Williams a year ago after the latter had a series of disagreements with Roseanne Barr.
