It's painful to watch the character Darlene as the seasons go on. It seems like the writers wanted to make the character the most selfish, rude, mean and unhappy woman in the world, and it's not funny. No one would hopefully put up with anyone that awful in their life, so how did she get a handsome, caring, intelligent husband, a successful career, non-suicidal children... The beauty of Roseanne was that it showed us the real world, recognizing the truth about living from paycheck to paycheck, but still finding humor and joy in it. But that formula seems to be missing the main ingredients on this show. How disappointing in too many ways. The 5 is for everyone, mainly wonderful Ms. Metcalf! If only the show centered around wonderful Metcalf perhaps we could see hope and joy in the doldroms of reality.

The first few episodes of this season were kind of a downer and only sorta funny but after that it slowly got some of the biting humor back that the original series had. Once they got away from Roseann's death and back to daily life things, the show started getting better. I'm glad I stuck with it and gave it a chance.

The show is still good. Yes, it's obvious Roseanne's voice is missing, but the show is good on it's own merit, not just because of one personality. I actually like it better cuz I find Roseanne's voice jarring and annoying, but she can be funny. lol! I will continue to watch the show since I like the storylines and it's still funny to me.

I have watched all the episodes so far because I want to like this show. I loved the original and still enjoy the reruns so much. However, the new show is simply not good. I love Laurie Metcalf but she is horribly overplaying her character much like she did in the original runs last season. I don't know who told her this was the way to go, but it's awful. Goodman looks bored and seems like he's forcing his lines. Sara Gilbert seems to be trying to fill the void left by Roseanne and she's just not up to it. Darlene was an interesting teenage character but her flat, monotone one-liners just don't deliver. As for the rest of the cast, there's too many extra characters and very little character development. If I'm supposed to care about any of the grandkids, they need to be featured more than a couple minutes each week. What made the original so good was the relationships - Roseanne was at the center of that with Dan, Jackie, Becky and Darlene. I gave it a chance, I think I'll stick with the reruns and take a pass on this.

Maybe some if these bad reviews are not based on the show itself but on people's anger that Rosanne was fired. I thought the writing and the acting were as good as anything in the original. Rosanne picked the cast and set the tone so I guess that's a tribute to her. I thought her tweets were offensive but she's a comedienne, not the president, so holding her to a higher standard seems kind of unfair. . I think the show will go on without her. Darlene was always my favorite character anyway.

I hope this gets some other "better" reviews. The 1 and the 3 ratings I thought were unnecessarily harsh. I thought "The Conner's" was a pretty fair re-boot. It was funny, sad in the right places, and I really didn't miss Roseanne. Maybe those other reviews were from die hard Rosanna Barr fans.

This show started out at a solid 5. Despite the sudden loss of the driving force of the show, the first season of The Conners seemed to do a decent job. They highlighted how an average family can weather poverty and loss while also dealing with the generational conflicts that will naturally happen when you have three generations trying to inhabit the same space without killing each other. In the second season it started slipping, and has continued to do so ever since. Now in season 4 we have reached a generous 2/10 and absolutely NONE of the original magic is left. It is almost entirely filled with this or that political/social agenda and the acting and writing have both become painful to witness. No matter what your opinion of Rosanne's politics is, anyone who is being honest has to admit that the original series was awesome (until we got to season 9 and things started to go seriously off the rails) where this show started off average at best and is now a complete dumpster fire.

Yes, it sucks that Roseanne is absent, but I've always enjoyed the supporting cast. I think that they're holding their own pretty well in this series. It's funny to me and it doesn't feel much different than the original series, other than the obvious being that Rosie isn't there. Great acting here and I can appreciate it.

You know--without Roseanne, The Connors just does not pass muster. The original "Rosanne" was a groundbreaking and much more controversial series than this: the writers had more freedom to express their humor, the jokes weren't stale and cookiecutter in the original. Clearly the writers have tried to make the humor in this series as PC as possible, but everything just falls flat.

Admittedly, Roseanne's comment that got her canned from the "Roseanne" reboot wasn't a good thing to say, but it's hypocritical how Hollywood will not let her return to the series. To me, the action of not forgiving a gaffe--even a terribly offensive gaffe--says more about Hollywood's character (or lack thereof) than it does Roseanne's.

Anyway, Roseanne was the nexus that glued the characters harmonically together, without Rosie the show just doesn't work.

It's amazing how many chose to go low with their review without ever watching the show or, DID watch it but went into it with plans to be negative no matter what. In my opinion, the premiere episode was VERY good and I wasn't expecting it to be but I chose to give it an honest shot with my only real disappointment coming with the fact Roseanne Barr made the choices she did. I WILL be a regular viewer and I'm proud of the cast AND crew for trusting in their belief that there was still a story to tell and they were up to the challenge.

I didn't think it would work without Roseanne but I also didn't think a new Star Trek series would work after the original. The humor is intact, the relationships are strong, Roseanne's death is dealt with in a dark, sad, and culturally appropriate manner. It's an excellent jumping off point for the show, future story lines, and character growth. It has the makings of being just as wonderful as the original if people can just get past their "It's Kirk or nothing!" I mean "It's Roseanne or nothing!" attitude.

The original roseanne show was so relatable and true to real people. I can't say the same about the connors.

I watched the fist three episodes but I had to draw the line at the Halloween episode, the original Roseanne Halloween episodes were always a fantastic farce but now in the connors it is full of pc nonsense.

Also some characters have not been explained or introduced to the audience, what's that about.

The connors feels like it's trying too hard to fit into the current climate, so much so story surfers.

Some actors are well below par especially becky, she took me out of the narrative.

I was hoping for something special but unfortunately it has become pc fest, far from the originals tone.

It's not even funny anymore. I don't even live in America and yet I can see that when they fired Roseanne it's just lost it's heart of the show. First of all I just watched the whole seasons of original Roseanne series last week. And I actually found the first 4-5 seasons of roseanne was good but I did find the last few seasons of the show just not that good or funny and season 10 (the reboot one) kinda cringy but that's understandable cause I feel like the casts were trying to find their chemistry again after decades haven't been working together. Whatever your opinion is about Roseanne I think this show just went downhill without her and even though Metcalf and John Goodman tried so hard to elevate the show sadly it's just not enough. It evolves now around the Sara Gilbert character that is so no interesting at all and she's not that good of a comedians and she just brings down the show everytime she's in the scene. She's just not funny! And she's just a bummer like everytime she's in the scene it's like she brings the moods down. I feel like the reason why ABC still keeping it even though it's gained negative reviews from everywhere and even though the ratings is shot, the President I feel like have a personal vendetta with Roseanne and therefore she's keeping the show just to stick it to Roseanne. It's like "hey look we fired you from a show that you created with characters that you also created and we still gonna keep on making this atrocity of a show just to stick it to you Roseanne!"

As a devout Roseanne viewer who has seen every Roseanne episode at least 10 times it was hard for me to hear of her firing and the show getting cancelled. I was reluctant about "The Conners" but I found that it is just as funny. It really is. Aunt Jackie is great and Dan carries the show well. I will say that I HATE the opening of the show without Roseanne's laugh. They should have totally changed it. That's the only reason I'm giving it an 8.

Its not as bad as everyone says. Its not as good without roseanne but pretty good. My biggest problem with it is that its not as funny as it should be. Its kind of depressing.

This show has lost it's sense of humor. Very depressing.

Yes, it's a different show without Roseanne but it was still funny.

I've watched all five eps to date. I just can't watch any more. It's not funnny. Poorly written and lackluster. It's such a shame. Roseanne was a staple of my youth. Without her this show is terrible.

Show lacks timing, presence, and humor. The Leftist agenda they are trying to program Americans with is and has ruined this show and our country at large. Anyone who enjoyed Roseanne will be severely disappointed with this reboot.

Ok, so the whole Roseanne thing happened and now we're left with her family to carry on. I gave it a try, I really did. I'm glad they brought back the original Becky (she's my fave over Chalke) and I think it's cool they now added Peggy Bundy to the cast (yes, I know it's Katey Segal). However, it just seems like it keeps getting worse and worse for the Conners. I mean, how long can a black cloud stay over one family? This is depressing as hell. In the old days, they weren't rich by any means but they were funny and made light of it. Now it's just dark, like slit your wrists dark. I know many viewers have lots of questions like "where's the son?" and "where's this character?" and so on. My question is when did Darlene get to the point she's sleeping with two guys and fighting them off with a stick cause she's so irresistible? Am I missing something here? And the kids... no wonder David left them high and dry. I'm sure they're fine actors but the characters are really awful. Last night the wrong person got slapped. Props to Gilbert for taking that hit like a real woman. I wish Jackie would've smacked the fool out of Harris as well. Poor Dan. He drinks more than ever, looks emaciated, and doesn't want the tail thrown at him by Segal who is much hotter than any woman who has been on that show. Speaking of characters, was Matthew Broderick that desperate for a role? I mean, it's so damn dark it's not funny. It's painful to watch like a slow motion car crash. The only person who comes out winning is Roseanne. No Arnie, Crystal, or Booker. I don't think anyone can salvage this show and Dan is one of my favorite TV fathers of all-time. Just makes you miss the days of when everyone could take a joke and we weren't afraid of being so PC. We really had it good when we could laugh at ourselves and the Conners as a whole. Now I feel like there should be a toll free Help Line number at the end of every episode to donate to Becky's daughter, Jackie for The Lunchbox, DJ (just cause he's a good guy) and Dan for a six pack.

Very funny and entertaining. It's a tough transition but they pulled it off very well. The bad rating are people upset about the firing....not the show. Trust me
