TV: Without Roseanne, “The Conners” Teeters–ABC Only Orders 1 More Episode

“The Conners” is already in trouble.

The trades report without editorial comment that ABC has ordered only more episode to be added to the ten it already contracted for this season.

A full half season order is 13, which means ABC didn’t even fill that out. And they most certainly didn’t ask for a number like 22 which would take “The Conners” to the end of the current TV season next spring.

The 1 episode order makes me think it’s just a finale to the ten as a good will gesture. And then “The Conners” would go back to the mists of TV’s own walking dead.

So far, “The Conners” ratings have been less than spectacular. The first episode brought in 11 million viewers, the second week dropped to 7 million. If the drop continues, it may be too expensive to keep around, given John Goodman’s and Laurie Metcalf’s salaries.

Well, ABC really showed Rosanne, didn’t they?

They showed Rosanne, almost as well as NBC showed Megan Kelly.

Good riddance!

It's bad enough that ABC dumped Roseanne Barr (whom I am not really a fan of) for saying the sorts of things that just get shrugs when Libtards say them.

But what really sent me were the stories a month or so ago where ABC suits began to feel regretful because they belatedly realized that they killed a workable franchise--and that his spin-off was likely doomed. In other words, their precious principles are for sale.

That backstabbing cast makes me puke... especially Sara Gilbert.

Geez. The show was called “Rosanne”. I’ve never watched new, or old versions, except maybe in passing. What did the ABC brain trust think was going to happen?

Why would anyone (in their right minds that is, and excludes the Trump hating far left), want to watch Rosanne light without Rosanne?

“The Conners” is un-funny formulaic bullshit designed, written, and acted by liberals to appeal to what they think conservatives like.

They thought they could repeat what happened when Valerie Harper exited her NBC sitcom in the ‘80s and squeeze a few more years out of it (as ‘The Hogan Family’).

Cue Nelson Muntz.

What’s amazing is this was all to solely shut up and ostracize Barr for her outspoken Trump support.

Same way they showed Tim Allen, right?
