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?
Great cast & writing. Should be renewed for sure!
Please renew this show. The characters are so relatable. I miss Rosanne too but this show is still strong without her.
The Conners is a fantastic show. I love the issues they tackle. I think it’s brilliant and should be renewed
I think they should bring Roseann Barr back to the show. She has been punished enough.
She made the show..We all make mistakes..
Hope it comes back..deserves a second season..great start this season
I really enjoy the show and hope it comes back soon. I think a loudmouth dying from an opioid overdose is relevant and even realistic and thought provoking.
It stinks without Rosanne
The Conners is a thought-provoking show brought to life by an outstanding cast of actors. I look forward to the next season with enthusiasm.
Bring back Rosanne, she’s paid the price for her sleeping pill response. Who hasn’t thought or said the same thing. The Conners sitcom just doesn’t work. Bring back true life, true comedy that real people can relate to. Thank you
I watched most of this new season of Roseanne and The Conners come back last year into
this year.
I like the current issues and topics the cast acts out in this tv series.
More people can relate to “the average joe / struggling working class” of people
in America here, that is the real world.
I am tired of these lame and fake reality shows, and so are many other people too out there.
Bring back “the Conners” for a second season, please !!!
thanks….from northern california
Cancel that show, they should have NEVER let Rosie go she was the show, from season one. So she had an opinion about someone, and then you had an option of her, and now people are having an opinion about you, the producers. Thank GOD there is STILL Freedom of SPEACH!!!
Without Roseanne it should definitely be cancelled
Should not be cancelled – so much better than the original show. The remaining cast carry the show very well without Roseanne. Much better story line and more interesting characters.
Cancel it. No good. Thank you.
I loved the show. It was refreshing, Enlightening, & engaging. I definitely think it should be renewed.
I could see Dan courting another woman, & maybe even getting married. So much fun and laughter & sometimes all so real.
