TV show description:
When ABC revived Roseanne for a 10th installment, the sitcom earned stellar Nielsen ratings, averaging a 3.49 in the 18-49 demo with 13.482 million viewers. During the 2017-18 television season, it dwarfed the performances of both Grey’s Anatomy and Dancing with the Stars, and was quickly renewed for an 11th season.
However, once star Roseanne Barr made offensive statements on Twitter, the network cancelled Roseanne. Still, it was not ready to give up on the rest of the cast, the Conner family’s story, or a shot an Nielsen gold, and thus The Conners TV show was born.
Like Roseanne before it, The Conners follows the story of working-class family of Roseanne and Dan Conner (John Goodman) including their three children Becky (Lecy Goranson), Darlene (Sara Gilbert), and David Jacob ‘D.J.’ (Michael Fishman), as well as Roseanne’s sister, Jackie Harris (Laurie Metcalf).
The spin-off kicks off after a sudden turn of events results in the working-class Lanford, Illinois family facing life’s ups and down without its matriarch. As in the original family comedy, Dan, Jackie, Darlene, Becky, and D.J. grapple with the stuff of everyday living, from relationships, to pregnancy and parenthood, financial challenges, and more. No matter what challenges they must meet, the Conners endure, thanks to their persistence, humor, and most of all — love.

What do you think? Do you like The Conners TV series? Should this ABC TV show be cancelled or renewed for another season?
CANCEL PLEASE
Big mistake! All the characters made sense because of Roseanne! And for now I’ll spend that half hour cleaning my toilet which is a better use of my time.!
Nothing without Roseanne
Cancel! Not the same without the main character, Roseanne!
Cancel it it’s not the same without Roseanne ABC made a big mistake not interested in seeing that sarcastic Darlene she’s nothing like Roseanne she can’t hold the show and neither can Dan
Cancel the Conner’s
CANCEL THE CONNERS.
It was great! I got tired of Roseanne long before her racist tweet, so I don’t miss her in the show…at all! I look forward to the show now.
BAD decision as I am sure ABC is seeing now. Could have been handled much differently. Now it will cost them the show.
I agree with you Gloria 100%
Cancel.Roseanne was the main draw. ABC acted before thinking and viewers suffered. The decision should have been left up to the viewership.
Pulling the show and all reruns because of “free speech” was your first mistake. Killing Roseanne off the show was your second mistake. Trusting the show will flourish without her was your third mistake. Believing her fans with watch without her, well the Nielsen ratings should prove you wrong on that as well. The only way to save this show is to bring Roseanne back from the dead. If not, cast members will still be out of a job.
It sucked bad abc
Cancel it it was terrible it really sucks Dont waste any more expensive air time on it move on folks
ABC. You have made a big mistake , you should never allow your people to act out their
anger.
Roseanne has always been crude and you know that is what made her who she is. You liked it . Crude is her calling card .
Why would you act like she was any worse than usual , you became worse than usual .
You knew that she had fans , but you wanted to hurt her , so you did and it hurt you too.
Cancel The Conners and bring Roseanne back. The Conners is not funny at all. Do what was done in the past, pretend it was a bad dream and have Roseanne reaurface.
It sucks…trash. bring rosie back. Crap show. Never watch agian.
This is not entertainment, you know this is not Roseanne .
Most people do not even like the other cast members in the first place.
The only way this is going to survive work is Allow a tornado to blow all the cast members away , give Roseanne a new family, distant family members and friends . Let her wake you to change .
I thought it was awful. And it should be cancelled it’s Roseanne show killing her off doesn’t make it any less Roseanne show. You can’t change that no matter what you do. They should never have done this. 100% fail
