In May, ABC announced that this season of The Conners will be its last. Today, the network revealed the first of the final six episodes will premiere on March 26th.
For over three decades, audiences have followed along with The Conners as they navigate the daily struggles of life in Lanford. Dan, Jackie, Darlene and Becky grapple with parenthood, marriage, financial pressures and aging 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.
I cannot wait for this series to end. It was so depressing and not as good as the first few seasons of Roseanne. It felt like John Goodman and Laurie Metcalf were calling it in. And Sara Gilbert made it all about herself. She can’t act, and she comes off as unlikable.
However, the biggest problem with the revival is they were not the same people they were when the OG series ended. When Roseanne premiered, most of the cast were lower to middle class. So they understood what their characters were going through. However, when that series finale aired, they were all wealthy and remained that way. Therefore, they were out of touch with the people they were playing.
And that is why I think the show never caught on.

Exactly a month ago, Katey Sagal was hit by a car and taken to the hospital. She was released the next day, but we have not heard much about her condition since then.
Today, when John Goodman was on The Talk he gave an update on his television wife. The actor revealed that she wheeled her back onto The Conners set this past Friday. However, he did elaborate on what her injuries are. But he did add, “She looks great, but you can tell she’s a little shaken up still.” Hopefully, she will be better soon.
When Goodman was asked if there is TV magic between him and the actress, he said with a huge grin on his face, “Yes! Yes, it is.” If you watch the sitcom, you can tell that the two of them have a lot of chemistry. It is the strongest part of the show.
