The Conners might be a comedy but get prepared to cry and laugh tonight at 8p on ABC.
Last week, Darlene’s (Sara Gilbert) boyfriend (Jay R. Ferguson) asked her to move to Chicago with him and this week she has to tell her family about her decision. How will they feel about her moving an hour away with the kids? Who will take care of the chickens?
While she is dealing with that Jackie (Laurie Metcalf) has her own problems. Her boyfriend (Matthew Broderick) has been cheating on her. How will she handle it? She will do a very Jackie thing! And the best news is Broderick will not be around for season 2 (hey it is in the promo so no spoiler) if there is one!!! His character is the absolute worse, so I am glad he is gone.
Now, what about Becky? She is getting closer with her baby daddy. How close?
Who is that mystery guest? I cannot tell you and I cannot tell you if it plays into Darlene staying or going, but I think you know what is going to happen. Or do you?
Did I mention the episode ends with a cliffhanger? What do you think will happen?
While The Conners is not as good as Roseanne in its heyday, it was better than Roseanne was last year. Therefore, I would say it is comparable to the season before she won the lottery. Thus, it will be interesting to see if it gets another season. I am OK with whatever ABC decides. It is watchable, but not a show I will miss if it is gone like Speechless and Fresh Off the Boat. Hint hint!
