How ‘The Conners’ Went From Nearly DOA to a Milestone 100th Episode — and What’s Next: ‘There’s So Much More to Do’
I'm guessing no Rosanne was a big part of it.
Yeah, it's disappointing to see what she became. Roseanne was a pretty progressive show for it's time and addressed a lot of issues most sitcoms of the era steered clear of. Despite their rough edges the Conner family were a fairly positive but accurate representation of struggling working class American families too. Which was not something shown on TV very often.
Roseanne Barr has become... The opposite of who she was during my childhood and it's a shame. But I'm glad to see The Conners has continued to explore the kind of stories the original was celebrated for.
Might be unpopular, but she wasn't bad for the show in any direct way. It's an ensemble show, and she was very funny in it alongside the rest of the cast
Obviously what she said outside the show was unacceptable and she had to be fired. And she's said a lot more stupid things since.
But credit where credit is due, she handled being fired in the best way, pushing to ensure the show and remaining cast could keep going. I at least respect her actions, even if I can't respect her for what she says publicly about political issues
Ha, no. She had zero impact on the new show.
