The Conners Season 7 Wasted Roseanne’s Replacement & Ruined The Character’s Perfect Ending

While The Conners season 7’s ending wasn’t terrible, the Roseanne spinoff did profoundly fail one of the original show’s heroes and its best replacement for the late eponymous heroine. When Roseanne became The Conners, the sitcom’s entire DNA had to shift pretty radically almost overnight. The series had already been through more overhauls than most, thanks to the messy end of its original run and its 2017 revival. Roseanne began life as a grounded sitcom about a working-class family, centered primarily on the perspective of their titular sardonic mother, Roseanne.
