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.

Just what we need... another gender dystopian “comedy.”
There will be a huge cash settlement for Barr and her Caveman Lawyer then it will be canceled for lack of ratings.
Her annoying daughter is going to preach homosexuality every week.
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.

You beat me to it. It will never work.
It would be like doing “All in the Family” without Archie Bunker.
Goodman is making a fool of himself. Is he going to find a new husband?
What!?
Are they nuts?
No way it can work without Barr...
Be like taking all the red text out of the new testament....worthless.
Yeah. Rob Reiner will join the cast as his new bride, Mike “Meathead” Stivic.
Roseanne should start her own show.
Will FLOP from the get-go
WONT WATCH..that is all
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.
I predict big fail.
