Roseanne's spinoff almost killed The Conners.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While The Conners was originally set to replace Roseanne’s heroine with one of her family members, it is a good thing that the series didn’t follow this path. The Roseanne revival seemed too big to fail. Throughout the ‘90s, Roseanne was one of the most successful sitcoms on television.
Despite the original show's title, season 9’s disastrous string of Roseanne-centric episodes proved the series always needed the entire Conner family. Focusing on Darlene as the lead character wouldn’t have worked any better than it did when Roseanne’s creators attempted this with Roseanne years earlier. Darlene was well-liked , but this wasn’t the problem with the premise.
The Conners could not have done this if the series was busy setting up Darlene as its new heroine. This would have been particularly foolhardy since there was no need to prioritize Darlene over the rest of the characters. Some of the most watched episodes of The Conners focus on Harris, Dan, Becky, and other characters who shared the spotlight with Roseanne during Roseanne’s original revival.
It is worth noting that sitcom characters don’t necessarily need to be likable for them to be funny and entertaining. Seinfeld’s hero was arguably worse than Newman, his nemesis, and the show was still a classic. However, Roseanne was not It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia. For all of its edgy moments, the show was a warm family sitcom at its core.
