The media touted how The Conners premiere finished slightly ahead of the Roseanne season 10 finale. But with 7 day DVR ratings added, the Roseanne finale finished ahead.

The Conners without Roseanne is like going to see KC and the Sunshine Band and only the Sunshine Band shows up.
Based on two clips I’ve seen (less than 3 minutes each)...it’s not funny. It’s like some soap opera with dramatic actors stepping through some practiced script.
When you go and look at the original series (at least at the very beginning)...it was really a poke at a working-class family in the burbs, who were barely making it and some of their daily lives mirrored regular people in an amusing way. I don’t see that with the Conner Show...it’s just a soap opera with ‘wooden’ actors.
TV still has Sitcoms ?
TVs still exist? (Not in my house.)
The Conners
Who?
Let's face it, Roseanne is a bunch of unfunny characters whining about their problems and Roseanne ripping them for it and then goofing around with John Goodman. She's the straw that stirred the comedy drink in that show. Without her it was 100% predictable that all you would be left with was unfunny characters complaining about their problems.
