The Conners Never Really Replaced Roseanne (& That's A Good Thing)

Now thatThe Connersis over, I can say for certain that the sitcom spinoff never really replacedRoseanne’s original title character, and this actually wasn’t a bad thing for the show. From time to time,The Conners’ large cast of charactersinevitably complicated the show’s storylines. A lot of classic sitcoms, likeHow I Met Your Mother,Friends, orThe Big Bang Theory, followed only a half dozen main characters, so it wasn’t hard for the show to center them on every episode....
