ABC has released some new photos from The Conners, its spinoff from the canceled Roseanne. The snaps check them out below feature original-series and revival regulars John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, Michael Fishman and Lecy Goranson along with Jayden Rey, Ames McNamara and Emma Kenney, who play the Conners grandkids and were upped to regular roles for the spinoff.

It's almost as if ABC is setting her up to be vindicated.
Seriously, ABC? Do you think any Roseanne fans are going to watch this? Do you think any Roseanne-haters are going to watch this? This show is going to be one massive stinker.
My guess is FLOP...
How they handled Rosanne alienated a good bit of the audience that had embraced the reboot... Probably get some curiosity viewers, and may get enough audience to not be immediately cancelled, but will be nowhere near what it was...
Shame..
She died. They are going to be somber about her memory or something.
I've read that this is actually what they are going to do. They are going to treat her as if she passed away sometime in the past.

Anyone know how they will explain Roseanne not being there
Yup - made her an addict to pain pills, and she’ll have an overdose and die. At least, that’s the scuttlebutt.
“Im sure he is medically at a better weight, but right now, he looks desiccated and unwell.”
i saw him a few years ago at the Delta SkyClub at MSP. He could barely walk with all that weight and looked like he had bad hips and/or bad knees. I am hoping that he is doing better.
meanwhile I hear the first episode on last man standing on Fox got high ratings.
