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?
jumped the shark when they let Rosanne go. did not watch one episode of the Connors and quite frankly I know of know one who does and I know a lot of people
cancel
I’m really enjoying it. Looking forward to watching this family move on.
Do Not cancel it.
Cancel- would never watch without the star Rosanne.
I think you should give the conners a shot. It started taking on a direction.
Please take the connors off the air. We will never watch it without rosanne
I won’t watch the Conners without Roseanne. So she made a mistake, so have others, who apologized and were forgiven. It’s a crime what was done to her. I hope the Connors tanks.. They could bring Roseanne back to the show and say her death was only a dream, just like Bobby on Dallas.
I love Roseanne and her Character. I would sooner watch the old episodes of Roseanne than the Conners.
Who’s with me?
CANCEL!!!!!!
Cancel, you can not take chocolate out of a chocolate cake and being as good.
Cancel, they deserve evertthing they get!!
Cancel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will never watch ABC again for their ignorance of what they did to Rosanne
Cancel. ABC should have been smart and not killed Rosanne off until they were sure of ratings gold. Rosanne was the glue that held all the characters together. Should have had Roseanne in rehab for her pain addiction until ratings proved you didn’t need her. Stupid, stupid call. Shine on Roseanne! You helped me get through some tough times watching your show!
Cancel. About the most boring show I’ve seen in a while. They are better off starting an entirely new sitcom subject with those actors rather than to continue with this show.
Cancel. It is not funny. Stupidest show ever. Roseanne was the show. The Conners is just boring
Cancle!!!! Terrible Roseanne is who made the show what it was! Not funny at all without her. How did they ever think they could pull it off????
Extremely disappointing. Will no longer be watching.
Never watched and not going to. I know many others aren’t either. Ratings tanked.
