tessaray July 2, 2018 Share July 2, 2018 Since it's being referenced in the speculation topic, I thought I'd put the source here. https://abc.go.com/shows/abc-new-shows/news/shows/abc-picks-up-the-connors-straight-to-series-to-premiere-this-fall Quote The Conners (working title), a spinoff of the groundbreaking family comedy Roseanne, has been greenlit to series with an order of 10 episodes for fall 2018. After a sudden turn of events, the Conners are forced to face the daily struggles of life in Lanford in a way they never have before. This iconic family—Dan, Jackie, Darlene, Becky and D.J.—grapples with parenthood, dating, an unexpected pregnancy, financial pressures, aging and in-laws in working-class America. Through it all, the fights, the coupon cutting, the hand-me-downs, the breakdowns—with love, humor and perseverance, the family prevails. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/71734-media-the-lanford-lean-times/#findComment-4459469

It could have just been because it's 2018, so 1958 is quite literally 60 years ago. On 7/3/2018 at 11:09 AM, Tom Holmberg said: Really, that doesn't even sound interesting.

If it means the show gets to end with some class and dignity, that's all I care about. I honestly think this is less about anticipating a long run, and much more to do with giving this show and its 30 year-legacy a proper ending. And given that the original ending claimed everything from season 2 onward was part of a book, complete with husband switching--yeah, I'm okay with this. Now, if it looks like things will progress past this coming season, I'll be more than willing to eat crow. But until then, I'm going to stay positive. It gets old to be too negative too often. :) Edited July 18, 2018 by UYI 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/71734-media-the-lanford-lean-times/#findComment-4499800

CelticBlackCat August 28, 2018 Share August 28, 2018 (edited) I came here to post the same news. Here's Daily Mail Online's article. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6104415/John-Goodman-hints-Roseanne-killed-Conners-following-racist-tweet-scandal.html ETA: John Goodman was depressed in real life for about a month after the tweet/cancellation scandal. John also says he knows for a fact that Roseanne Barr is not a racist. The comments section shows that some people think the whole thing was a double standard situation, overblown, that the show will fail, or "down in its own misery" as one Daily Mail commentor said, or that they won't watch the show at all, despite having watched the original and the reboot of "Roseanne."

I love they winked at history with bring back Geena and adding Mary in a nod to Nana Mary. People are giving him a lot of heat about Roseanne not being on the cast. I really think that one departure can be overcome in some cases with casting. Sure I came for Barr in the beginning as I had watched her comedy but I came back for The Conners. I've often been more interested in the side characters rather than a lead. It just depends and cast and story telling.

Neptune October 2, 2018 Share October 2, 2018 Question: Any scoop about The Conners? I am curious about if we will meet Jerry or Andy in the spinoff. —Ethan Ausiello: The series’ forgotten… will continue to be MIA. “We’ve acknowledged that Jerry is off on a boat,” showrunner Bruce Helford notes of Roseanne and Dan’s youngest kid. (You’d think he’d at least make an appearance at his mom’s funeral!) And with regard to Jackie and Fred’s son, Helford says, “We debated whether Andy was part of the ‘dream period’ or whether he existed. He’d probably be off at college if he does exist.” https://tvline.com/2018/10/02/sarah-drew-greys-anatomy-season-15-april-returning/ The Conners plan on holidays without Roseanne in new promo https://ew.com/tv/2018/10/02/conners-plan-holidays-without-roseanne-new-promo/ 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/71734-media-the-lanford-lean-times/#findComment-4719905

tessaray October 13, 2018 Share October 13, 2018 Reviews are starting to trickle in. Some of them aren't terribly positive. I think this was the best one I saw. https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-conners-is-almost-sweet-enough-to-make-up-for-the-roseanne-fiasco The reviewer liked Darlene and Becky's rapport, which is great because this is one of the things I liked most about the revival. Quote All of that said, it takes about six minutes before Lecy Goranson, who plays Becky, to deliver a one-liner so good we cackled right through the next three lines of dialogue. It’s a much-needed diffusion of tension, allowing the jokes that follow to more sturdily stick their landings. Laurie Metcalf delivers a monologue about a coffee maker that should earn her another Emmy nomination. Goranson and Gilbert have a crackling chemistry that’s interesting to observe in this context: the tête-à-têtes that laid the foundation for the ultimately profound sisterhood between Roseanne and Aunt Jackie in Roseanne—one of the series’ highlights—now fall to Becky and Darlene, and both actresses rise to the occasion. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/71734-media-the-lanford-lean-times/#findComment-4747348
