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?
I thought “Connor’s ” was cancelled months ago
Get rid of this awful show . It stinks without Roseanne.
Vicki Barbolak would be the absolutely PERFECT replacement for Roseanne! She could start out as the new neighbor or something, it would be the best sitcom EVER!!!
no roseanne no watch. will never watch the conners without her.
It’s even better without Roseanne. No more screeching. Between John and Sara Gilbert, they’ve always held the show together. The final season of the original Roseanne sucked without Goodman.
Never watched the Connors, no Roseanne no show. I think they stabbed Roseanne in the back by not supporting her and doing the show without her. Need to cancel this failure.
Of course it should be cancelled. Without Roseanne,there is no show. I refuse to watch it and will not give ABC ratings for this disaster. Roseanne is the show!
I love these fictional people-hate to see Them cancelled after what They went thru to revive Themselves…What I keep wondering-what ever happened to Jackie’s son Andy & Dan’s youngest Jerry Garcia Conner???
Should be cancelled just not good without roseanne
Please renew The Conners TV show. I miss Rosanne as a Character to but if she’s going to keep embarrassing everyone and being ignorant then good riddens. I love both shows and Rosanne was not the only Character that was loved on the show. I love them all except for the D.J. Character, sorry. He was cute and was a good fit when he was a little boy but now him, the new wife and the kid just don’t fit to me. I am a true fan of the show and I say keep it. Hopefully the ratings will keep… Read more »
Bring back Roseanne! Give her a new show! She has a right to work!
I think they should cancell the show. There has been other actors that have done far worse & nobody has treated them like they have her. Shame on ABC!
…Also, the writing is very bad compared to when Rosanne Barr was a part of the show, not nearly as funny. It’s too bad they fired her. Lots of people have said a lot worse, not condoning what she said, just comparing, and did they get fired?…..noooo. Apologize (which she did), work it out, and move on. To err is human….to forgive is divine.
The Connors…a big flop compared to Rosanne. Can’t see it lasting for very long.
ABC YOU WANNA MAKE ALOT OF MONEY BRING BACK ROSEANNE AND CREATE A BRAND NEW SHOW WITH A NEW CAST. START A NEW SLATE. JUST CALL IT THE ROSEANNE BARR SHOW.
I will not watch. Not good without Roseanne.
Absolutely agree!
