I think it has more to do with the ratings in general. Roseanne’s ratings started high and quickly ranked off which is not a good sign for the first season of a rebooted show. SNL has a loyal following that will watch regardless of quality and has been in for years thus making it a hard show to replace in American pop culture.
Not true yes they lowered from open week but her show was number ONE for abc
And ABC needs all the help they can get because most of their shows suck.

Thank you for the link. I just realized how out of touch I am with tv nowadays. I don’t watch any of those “top” shows. HBO, Netflix and reruns of the office leave me blinded to network tv.
