Roseanne was originally released in October 1988 and ran through May 1997. It was centered around the lives of the Conner family with the main character being Roseanne (Barr). The revival series had a short run from March 2018 to May 2018. The Conners, which is set to premiere on October 16th of this year, will star all of the original Roseanne characters and their original actors.
It’s unknown how the very first episode will be considering that the main character is now killed off due to an opioid overdose. John Goodman, who played Roseanne’s husband, commented on the character change and how all the other characters will need to adapt to it. “I guess he’ll be mopey and sad because his wife’s dead,” Goodman spoke about his own character.
Big shows like The Office suffered after Steve Carrell left to pursue a movie career. Despite the obvious assumption that shows can truly suffer when the main character leaves, Two And A Half Men was one of the shows that defied all odds and went on for five more seasons after replacing Charlie Sheen with Ashton Kutcher.
With this being said, it’s hard to determine if The Conners will be a huge flop or a huge success.

Well Rosie made the show and I loved her now that she will no longer be a part of the show I will ” NOT” be watching period. They should of never made her leave her show. The show will flop and it serve them right.

Sandy Light says
It’ll flop won’t be watching, bring Roseanne back, you bunch of hipocrites,
Stan Kulp says
Fox should write a show with Roseanne and put it in the same time slot against the Connners
Elizabeth A Gulya says
Roseanne is just another victim of the political craziness. The leave the late night shows, the view and news media bad mouth OUR president but get rid of Roseanne for exercising her freedom of speech. I agree with Stan Kulp.
Julie Conkle says
Already flopped, far as I am concerned. I don’t intend to watch it. The whole rest of the cast should be ashamed to use the very vehicle that brought them so much stardom against the woman who created it in the first place. Shameful.
Lynn Smith says
Not watching….Roseann was FIRED for what she said, yet, if your a DEMON RAT you get to say worse and get away with it. I hope NO ONE watches and the show DIES an OPIOD death. Can’t even give her a decent farewell…at least a car accident? NOOOOO…all must be DEMON RATS as well.
