What do you think? Are you glad that The Conners TV show has been renewed for a third season? How would you feel if ABC had cancelled this TV series, instead?
We need the Conner’s on they are great cast and if you let them go. ABC will lose mine and many others who love the Conner’s please stay safe and we’ll be watching the Conner’s
The OVER acting of every character except Michael Fishman is too hard to watch. The writing ✍ is subpar with ZERO jokes or humor.
The most humorless sitcom on air. It sadly needs Roseanne
After tonight’s show which aired at 7 in central Canada and which discussed a three way sexual relationship in the first 10 minutes, I hope it’s cancelled or at the very least relegated to a later time slot I have never watched it and it was kind of a “give it a chance” try tonight. Not worth anyone’s time.
I love the Connors Also loved Roseanne
Please don’t cancel
There’s a lot of other shows that should be cancelled
Keep the Connors on Please
I grew up watching Rosanne and was was all for the reboot version. And even though it only lasted one season and they let Rosanne go, I feel like they have done well to keep the story going with the Conners. I hope ABC keeps the show for a long time.
I LOVE this show! I hope it continues for many more seasons!
I tried watching without Roseanne . It’s never been the same . Roseanne is the ultimate writer .
That network made a massive mistake firing her . The best thing the network did is admit they made a massive mistake firing her . It was big of them to admit it . We miss Roseanne !
Cancel !!!!
I love the program. I always look forward to seeing the Conners. Please keep the the Conners going for as long as possible don’t cancel please
I would LOVE another season or ten of The Conners. I, personally, like it better without RoseAnne.
ABC should get rid of this show. I am watching less and less on ABC because of non entertaining show like the Connors. They kicked a gift horse in the mouth when the let Roseanne go two years ago. Have watched it a few times and fell asleep. As soon as I woke up I quickly switched to Everybody Loves Raymond…even the old sitcoms are better to watch than this show. Wake up ABC…time to take Connors off life support.
How is it on life support when it’s one of ABC’s highest rated shows?
It’s on life support because season 2 has already lost more than 30% of the audience of season 1. At that rate, it could tank at under 3 million viewers by the end of season 3. That would cheapen advertising and make it a show they keep only to virtue signal as they would lose money. They already cut the actors pay for season 2 to keep it on the air.
Have you looked at the rest of ABC’s and the other networks’ ratings? Almost all of their shows are down by 20-30% year-to-year. It’s because people are watching more and more of their shows online and on-demand. The Conners is still ABC’s second-highest rated show in the demo and third in total viewers. It’s ridiculous to think that they’d cancel it. If people are going to try to predict this stuff, you have to look at facts objectively, not tainted by personal bias. ABC/Disney is a business with stockholders to answer to. They make decisions based on what they think… Read more »
The show is definately watchable but I still miss Roseanne.
I’m praying it comes back. The show is sooo much better than before
Never the same without Roseanne. I can’t believe how they turned on her….
I totally agree. The network brass had a total knee-jerk reaction for fear of stupid Twitter warrior backlash. Give me a break. By now most people would’ve forgotten or not cared about Roseanne’s comment anymore.
Who is this “Roseanne” people are talking about?
I really like the show and will be regular viewer for as long as it is on. Hope they renew.
