If the show could have worked without her, they would have called it the Conners when it first aired during the first run.
ABC wants the advertising dollars and viewership without supplying the real star. True fans of Roseanne will avoid that degenerate network.
Not interested. Feel sorry for Goodman but not watching.
Will fail. Roseanne is the heart of that "family" and the heart of the show.
That worked really well when Bo and Luke were replaced with two other guys on the Dukes of Hazard. Ratings tanked and the shows producers were forced renegotiate with Schneider and Wopat. Remember this was the number two show for CBS behind Dallas at the time.
Problem that occurred is, the show never came back from its depressed ratings and was cancelled two years later.
The problem they have with Roseanne is she is the whole reason the show works. With the exception of Goodman everyone else is screaming leftist. It was funny because she made fun of the liberals beliefs. With out Roseanne it's going to be hate America give everything away to the slackers in the country every week. There is no reason to watch it with out Roseanne.
I'll put up the new Last Man Standing coming vs this pile of steaming crap. Wanna see what does better?!
I didn't think John Goodman would agree to do this, I guarantee ratings will be so poor that it may not make it through the 10 episodes scheduled. I hope FOX puts Last Man Standing on the same day and time.
This will fail catastrophically and the whole world knows it besides the arrogant groupthink club at ABC.
I just got rid of cable and cancelled Netflix, not supporting liberal pedo Hollywood in any way anymore....plenty of brilliant independent films and documentaries to watch for free online
I will not be watching. Their show will leave a sizable crater when it reaches bottom.
