Rachel G. @RaeTom Dec 22 "Sweet tea w/o the sugar" I had no hopes for this show after they "minus-ed" Roseanne... I tried the best I could to solider on with this mess... but this show raised a new "conspiracy theory" as i continued to watch this... I began to think that the network must have kept this awful show on to "spite" Roseanne... bc "the conners" was less sophisticated, not even close to being funny... no relationships seemed real, no chemistry between anyone... they sure signed alot of notable actors as guest stars to again "stir Roseanne's" pot but they kept this terrible spin off to prove a point... a point that networks will waste money to keep a terrible show on as revenge... Im totally convinced of this. I tried over and over to prove myself wrong... but there is nothing here... its missing the real reason why the Conners existed in the first place "Roseanne"... one of the most significant female comedians in history. BTW: what happened to Darlene? Darlene as a teen was funny,smart and edgy and she became "the bore of the universe" WHY? See more Tina S @Tinas413 Jun 4 Where is Roseanne? I don't get why this got past the pilot See more Ed R @JustcallmeER May 6 Not the same without Roseanne. See more Bmac T Apr 10 I grew up watching the original show and loved it. I've watched every episode a few times over the years. Sadly this show has nothing like the original. It's updated for "today's audience" which is a tiny percentage of the actual audience. See more Blanca A 02/17/2025 Not as good and wholesome as the original Roseanne. I think Roseanne is needed to make the show witty and lighthearted humor when it brings up really heavy issues. The banter between her and the every family member made the show tolerable. Dan is too serious and the show just doesn’t have a good balance. You can’t have the show with Dan you can’t have the show without Roseanne. Both characters are needed! Some characters were removed that would’ve made the show feel more homey. The new characters were seemingly thrown in the show to welcome viewers of this current age, (Darlene’s son Mark, DJ’s wife and daughter and more unnecessary people) but in doing so they’re removing the real original fans. This show just seems like they are trying too hard to be “hip”. See more Chris M 02/14/2025 Can't recommend? Won't recommend!! EVER!! How do the Rotten Tomatoes critics always get it so wrong? The audience score has it right on the money. I'm shocked that Laurie Metcalf would have associated herself with this. Unless there was some contractual obligation or she owed someone a favour. A HUGE favour! I see Sarah Gilbert is an executive producer. And I see that her type of humor influences the shows. I couldn't even get through one whole episode. I've never appreciated her humor, found it demeaning and bullying. This show is a stretch for most of the actors. I feel so embarrassed for them when I sense how unnatural they feel when acting. The whole thing is an embarrassment. See more Read all reviews
