    It’s official — ABC has ordered a second season of “Roseanne” spinoff “The Conners.” [cut] “We are proud to be continuing the story of the iconic Conners family,” said ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke. “This team is fearless in their willingness to tackle contemporary issues with humor and heart, and I have no doubt they will continue to outdo themselves.”
  • 'The Conners' gets expanded second season at ABC: report

    Continuing the story of the Conner family without its matriarch was a risky proposition, and, thankfully for ABC, it worked. Spinoff series "The Conners" has done well and, not surprisingly, ABC would like a second installment. I hear negotiations are underway with the core cast for a 13-episode Season 2. That would be up from the 11 episodes in its current first season and the 9 for the lone season of the "Roseanne" revival. The cast of "The Conners" is led by "Roseanne" alums including Sara Gilbert, who also serves as an executive producer, John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, and Lecy...
  • John Goodman says 'The Conners' is 'great' without Roseanne Barr

    John Goodman may love Roseanne Barr, but he doesn't deem her a necessary part of "The Conners." TMZ cameras caught up with the actor, who played Barr's husband on "Roseanne" and now her widower on "The Conners," and he was in great spirits about the Barr-free spinoff. "It's so much fun, man. It's great," he said. "I hope we get a deal for next year. It's wonderful." Goodman, 66, also admitted he hasn't kept in touch with Barr since "Roseanne" was canceled.

    ABC’s big, pricey Conners gamble appears to have paid off. TVLine has learned exclusively that the Alphabet net is eyeing a second season of the Roseanne spinoff, with preliminary talks underway between the network and the series’ primary on-camera players, including John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert and Lecy Goranson. Following a long summer that included Roseanne‘s abrupt cancellation, assorted Roseanne Barr explanations/apologies, cast reactions and industry speculation, The Conners debuted in October to 10.6 million total viewers and a 2.4 demo rating, down just a hair from where the Roseanne revival left off with its May finale (which did...

    The ratings for the most recent episode of “The Conners” are in, and they’re not looking good. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the spinoff of ABC’s hit sitcom “Roseanne” plummeted to a season-low Tuesday night. “The Conners” brought in a season-low 1.5 Nielsen Rating (which means 1.5 percent of the measured demographic tuned in), down 0.3 since last week. This comes out to an audience of about 6.90 million viewers, aged 18–49 years old. This was an obvious disappointment compared to previous ratings. “The Conners” premiere raked in an impressive 7.5 rating back in early October. For comparison, the premiere...

    The 7-Day ratings for the first two episodes of The Conners are in. Not only is Roseanne beating the Conners in live ratings, it's doing even better in delayed viewing. The Roseanne premiere added 8.8 million viewers on DVR, while The Conners premiere only added 2.6 million viewers after live viewing. 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. Here are the ratings: 7-Day ratings (Live ratings plus DVR ratings) Roseanne Season 10 premiere : Demo: 8.1 Viewers: 27.26 million...

    The Conners” dropped in everything last night–total viewers, key demo. In the nightly ratings battle. the “Roseanne” spin off continues to trend downward. Last night, “The Conners” was beaten by everything- “NCIS,” “The Voice,” etc. This was their first really objective run, no World Series, nothing to distract potential viewers. But the key demo sank, which isn’t a good sign. And the total viewers were down by 180K, which is a lot, frankly. People are leaving and they’re not coming back. ABC has ordered 1 extra episode to the original order of 10. Sounds to me like a finale. Someone...

    “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...

    ABC’s The Conners in Week 2 drew 7.9 million total viewers and a 1.7 demo rating, dropping 25 and 29 percent from its launch and placing a distant second in the demo among non-sports programming (behind NBC’s This Is Us). Leading out of that, The Kids Are Alright (5.1 mil/1.1) was down 21 percent, black-ish (3.8 mil/0.9) dipped one tenth, and Splitting Up Together (2.9 mil/0.7) and The Rookie (4.4 mil/0.8) each slipped two tenths. Fox’s coverage of the World Series opener is currently reporting 12.6 mil and a 3.4, up 10 and 17 percent from the fast nationals for...

    ‘The Conners’ minus fired Roseanne Barr is one risky prospect. We’ve got details on how ABC execs are afraid the show will fail without its longtime lead character. Thanks to what Roseanne Barr calls a “misunderstood tweet” in May, she quickly was fired by ABC and the wildly successful revival of her 1990s sitcom was cancelled. The network thought her tweet about Barack Obama aide Valerie Jarrettwas racist and within hours Roseanne was out of a job. Now the show is going on without her and the rest of the cast is coming back for The Conners. ABC execs are...
  • Murphy Brown returns to low ratings (and far from Roseanne)

    Entertainment Weekly ^ | September 28, 2018 | James Hibberd
    Murphy Brown made its primetime return Thursday night and delivered surprisingly modest ratings for CBS, and considerably softer numbers than premieres of similarly hyped yesteryear sitcom revivals in recent seasons (such as NBC’s Will & Grace and ABC’s Roseanne). The newsroom sitcom starring Candice Bergen (and included a Hillary Clinton cameo) was seen by 7.4 million viewers and had only a 1.1 rating among adults 18-49 — the lowest of the network’s two-hour comedy block, slipping from its Mom lead in. Yet Murphy Brown arguably has the highest name recognition among viewers of any “new” show this fall (along with...

    Shortly after comments about Roseanne Barr, Louis C.K. and the #MeToo movement made during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter sparked controversy online, comedian Norm Macdonald has issued an apology. "Roseanne and Louis have both been very good friends of mine for many years," Macdonald tweeted Tuesday evening. "They both made terrible mistakes and I would never defend their actions. If my words sounded like I was minimizing the pain that their victims feel to this day, I am deeply sorry." Macdonald, who has a new show on Netflix titled Norm Macdonald Has a Show debuting this Friday, drew criticism...

    Roseanne Barr Believes She Was Fired Because She Voted for Donald Trump Roseanne Barr says she was fired from ABC for one reason: “It’s because I voted for Donald Trump.” In a new video, Barr says she was willing to go on any show of ABC’s choosing to explain what happened with “egregious and unforgivable” to her audience. “Instead what happened was about 40 minutes after that, my show was canceled before even one advertiser pulled out and I was labeled a racist.” She then explains, “Why, you ask? Well, the answer is simple, it’s because I voted for Donald...

    Roseanne Barr once again attempted to tell her side of the story about her controversial Valerie Jarret tweet, maintaining that she thought Jarrett “was white” and claimed her namesake show was canceled because she “voted for Donald Trump.” Barr’s explanation came in the form of a video on her YouTube page, introducing viewers to her “own studio” where she said she can talk to the public “without the filter of the biased media.” She recalled getting a phone call from ABC, in which she said she was asked “to explain my ‘egregious and unforgivable tweet,’” referring to her racially charged...

    Kimberley Johnson’s recent racist comment is more offensive than Roseanne Barr’s. Colion Noir’s response is awesome. Huffington Post writer Kimberley Johnson recently made the following tweet:“Out on the road the other day I saw an affluent black man driving a BMW with two bumper-stickers. One was pro-NRA and the other one was a Tea Party sticker that read, ‘Don’t tread on me.’ This left me very confused.” In my opinion, that’s a lot worse than what Roseanne Barr said six weeks ago. Barr was commenting on what she perceived to be a certain physical resemblance. Johnson’s comment is about what she...
