The Conners is already in trouble.
The trades report without editorial comment that ABC has ordered only more episode to be added to the ten it already contracted for this season.
A full half season order is 13, which means ABC didnt even fill that out. And they most certainly didnt ask for a number like 22 which would take The Conners to the end of the current TV season next spring.
The 1 episode order makes me think its just a finale to the ten as a good will gesture. And then The Conners would go back to the mists of TVs own walking dead.
So far, The Conners ratings have been less than spectacular. The first episode brought in 11 million viewers, the second week dropped to 7 million. If the drop continues, it may be too expensive to keep around, given John Goodmans and Laurie Metcalfs salaries.

Is that a woman as in female?
The slob cant tie her own shoes.
In her interview on Joe Rogan's show, Roseanne said she didn't want the show cancelled because 200 people (crew along with the cast) needed to earn a living, but of course, DNC-run ABC didn't care about the show or those 200, they just wanted to slam Roseanne down, hard.
Sarah Gibert is ten pounds of repulsive in a five pound bag.
Ha ha ha ha.
geez - weren’t they hyping this as their ‘new number one hit comedy of the season’ just a few days ago?
If they had cancelled the show Roseanne could have shopped it around to another network. Maybe move it to Fox and have a funny intro about moving and why Sara Gilbert's character is now tall and blond. But by keeping and renaming it they kept it away from Roseanne, even if it cost them millions. Political incorrectness must be punished no matter what the financial cost to the punisher.
Meanwhile “Last Man Standing” is killing it in the ratings.
Those drug commercials must pay pretty good for them to be able to piss away all that money making a crap program.
funny that...and they didn’t trot the LMS cast out on GMA, nor provide heavy promotion like they did this poor bunch. wonder if they’re trying to figure out how to resurrect Roseanne after her ‘overdose’....
I don’t even understand why Metcalf and Goodman signed on for this. Metcalf was nominated for an Oscar this year and has two Tony awards the last two years. Goodman has had a good career going too. This is a huge step backwards for actors of their calibre.

Gilbert’s performance was really bad in the episodes this year with Roseanne. She used to have good comic timing, but she’s lost it completely. Now she plays Darlene like a very bitter person.
Kinda like how Rhoda didn’t last long after valerie harper waled off the set.
Oops. Dating myself. sorry.
Well, maybe the hacks who were so morally superior to Roseanne can find jobs in Tampax commercials or voiceovers for unwatchable childrens’ cartoons.
But I just heard an advertisement this week to watch America’s number 1 new favorite show...
