ABC's" Roseanne' Spinoff Officially a Go — Without Roseanne Barr
Hollywood Reporter ^ | June 21, 2018

After canceling the comedy following star Roseanne Barr's racist tweet, the Disney-owned network has found a way to move forward with the original cast, creators and likely crew as 'The Conners.'

Weeks after its stunning decision to cancel Roseanne, ABC is officially moving forward with a spinoff of TV's current No. 1 series — without controversial star Roseanne Barr.

Following aggressive talks with exec producer Tom Werner, the Disney-owned broadcaster has handed out a 10-episode, straight-to-series order for Roseanne spinoff The Conners (working title). The new take, which will also be a multicamera comedy and premiere in the fall, will follow the Conner family who, after a sudden turn of events, are forced to face the daily struggles of life in Lanford in a way they never have before.

There will be a huge cash settlement for Barr and her Caveman Lawyer then it will be canceled for lack of ratings.

I never watched an entire episode of the original show or the revival. But I have a hard time believing that it can work without Roseanne Bar.

It would be like doing “All in the Family” without Archie Bunker.

The ratings may be up for the first episode but it will crash.

I give it three weeks!!! The only reason it was a success was the first couple episodes. I had already stopped watching when Rosanne's true self emerged!!!

Joan Rivers started her own show on youtube, it was picking up steam and had a professional look to it...then she passed :-(

She would have loved seeing Trump run, she would have been the warmup act at the rallies!

They did it without Edith and Meathead. It sucked.
