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 it! It’s stupid, boring and a waste of airtime!!!
The Conners might not have the same flare as Roseanne had and may have already taken its toll and so it probably should be cancelled.
The show is boring and I have only watched one episode and it’s nothing like the Rosanne show. they should have never fired her. they made a huge mistake and this spin-off is an even worse effort.
The show is not even funny. They should cancel it immediately.
Please renew The Conners. It’s a great, funny, poignant show. I hope it stays on for years.
Yes agree! I like the show
I find it hard to believe that abc would cancel the Connors and yet continue to show the bachelor and bachelorette shows. Those 2 are trash programming, imho.
peopled make mistakes Rosanne is no different i Always liked her show and now that it has been replaced with the Conners. I enjoy it also Don’t cancel.
Cancel it. It is a horrible show.
Where’s it at? can’t find it in Tucson DISH lists –
I’ve been looking for it when it didn’t show up on Tuesday nights as I had previously seen the show. I do hope it hasn’t been canceled – It is a show that shows realistic situations without vulgarity and high speed chases. I admired the cast led by John Goodman.
I do not like The Conners. It doesn’t hold a candle to Roseanne. It hasn’t been on my ABC(WFAA Dallas Tx) for 3weeks now. Yet you say it hasn’t been cancelled. Why is it not on here?
I like the new show minus Rosanne… the cast does the heavy lifting just as good as before and the episodes have more depth. Please keep it.
It would have been better if they had addressed the Roseanne death and then moved on. I found this season depressing, they mentioned the death every week and the pregnancy story line was not the least bit funny. Overall they need new writers or cancel, I quit watching it.
The show is no way as good as Roseanne !
DenB. I agree with you. Roseanne is lot better. I haven’t seen the conners. And won’t watch it. I hope this show gets cancelled.
AGREE !
I love this show! Please Renew
