The Conners (2018)

Where's Roseanne?

You know--without Roseanne, The Connors just does not pass muster. The original "Rosanne" was a groundbreaking and much more controversial series than this: the writers had more freedom to express their humor, the jokes weren't stale and cookiecutter in the original. Clearly the writers have tried to make the humor in this series as PC as possible, but everything just falls flat.

Admittedly, Roseanne's comment that got her canned from the "Roseanne" reboot wasn't a good thing to say, but it's hypocritical how Hollywood will not let her return to the series. To me, the action of not forgiving a gaffe--even a terribly offensive gaffe--says more about Hollywood's character (or lack thereof) than it does Roseanne's.

Anyway, Roseanne was the nexus that glued the characters harmonically together, without Rosie the show just doesn't work.
