Members Juliajms Posted June 22, 2018 Members Share Posted June 22, 2018 My vote goes is for a separate thread. Let's have a clean slate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted June 22, 2018 Members Share Posted June 22, 2018 It's just like The Hogan Family. It wasn't the same without Valarie Harper in it. The cast was going to get paid for the season anyways but at least the crew has a job too. The only thing I noticed is that they cut the episode count to just 10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted June 22, 2018 Members Share Posted June 22, 2018 Roseanne's ensemble is several cuts above anything on The Hogan Family. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted June 22, 2018 Members Share Posted June 22, 2018 I think it was cut down to 10 because it is essence a new show.. so they're testing the waters to see if there is any interest. Compared to what the majority of the ABC sitcoms are getting ratings wise (some barely above 5 mil), this show would have to get 3 million or less to be cancelled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted June 22, 2018 Members Share Posted June 22, 2018 It was probably cut down because production is beginning a bit later than it would've had the original still gone on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CassieFan Posted June 22, 2018 Members Share Posted June 22, 2018 Conflicted about this news, because although I'm happy the rest of the cast will be getting their paycheck it still irks me Roseanne will still profit from this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 22, 2018 Members Share Posted June 22, 2018 Well, they could say she ran off with David Duke. Please register in order to view this content We're taking up enough bandwidth, lol. I say just change the name. Same. Just the same, I'd LOVE it if they were to cast Edie McClurg as the family's annoying, new neighbor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted June 22, 2018 Members Share Posted June 22, 2018 I'm still not going anywhere near this show. ABC wanted to cater to Trumpers so I consider this fruit of the poisonous tree. But, honestly, even without all this controversy, I just don't do these reboots. I think the last reboot I watched was Gilmore Girls and that was disappointing. I'm just not here for bringing back shows that had long healthy runs and in some cases, including Roseanne, went on at least a season or two too long. Better to look at shows that only had one or two seasons but managed to attract a decent fanbase but may simply not have been at the right moment. Better yet look at some of the shows that were doing well in 2007 but fell prey to the Writers Strike. There were a couple of shows I was loving then but the strike happened before they could hit their stride. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted June 22, 2018 Members Share Posted June 22, 2018 She is not. She got a payout cause she created the characters but will not get any more money 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 22, 2018 Members Share Posted June 22, 2018 I won't either. However, I remain happy that the rest of the cast -- and more importantly, the crew -- will remain employed for awhile; and that, best of all, Roseanne herself is off mah damn TV screen (for now). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted June 22, 2018 Members Share Posted June 22, 2018 I think it's a great move, and it's good for the cast and crew. Listen, we may only get one season out of this and that's fine. It fulfills what the cast and especially the crew were counting on. The crew would've been without work this year, as new shows' crews were already set up & ready to go. I like the name change to "The Conners" to focus on its ensemble cast, and I think it's wonderful that *everyone* is back on board, even Laurie Metcalf, who's getting roles left and right and winning awards and accolades along the way. If "The Conners" is awful, I can just pretend this past May's finale was the family's last hurrah in my mind. We all do it, right? I certainly don't 'count' the Melrose Place 2009 revival as a true continuation of the original's story. Side note: I would hope the "Roseanne" actors would submit themselves for Emmy consideration. Whether ABC promotes it or not, people like Sara Gilbert have a great shot at a nomination, as she did stellar work. And finally, @Soapsuds I maintain my position that I thought "The Hogan Family" was *better* than "Valerie"! Please register in order to view this content That show is another example of 80's/90's shows where the series got better once the kids got older by the 3rd or 4th season. P.S. I wouldn't mind a Roseanne / The Conners thread continuing on right here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
