No, I'm not going to tell you what happened to Roseanne. But I will tell you something far more important - yes, The Conners is still worth watching.
October 16, 2018
Instead on focusing on what divides us, "The Conners" uses its talented cast and memorable characters to focus on what people have in common.

There are plentiful opportunities for laugh lines amid the tear streaks.

The Conners isn't afraid to push for big, emotional moments, and its more dramatic sequences are often stronger than the jokes.

Right now, I'll settle for seeing Metcalf bleat and honk her way into Jackie's lonely pain, and I'll continue to admire the way Goodman throws away punch lines while making them sting.

But the Conners - as a show and as a family - are up to the task with a half hour that's sharp, funny and cuts deeper than its predecessor.
