The Conners Has Already Made A Season 6 Happy Ending Much Harder

While The Conners season 6 is likely to be the show’s final outing, the Roseanne spinoff’s fifth season accidentally made it a lot harder for the series to wrap up its storyline. The Conners has a complicated history. Even in the world of sitcoms, where spinoffs and prequels often alter the canon of their predecessors whenever it is convenient, the story of The Conners is unusually complex. The show began life in 1988 as Roseanne. A successful family sitcom, Roseanne told the story of its eponymous heroine and her blue-collar family, the Conners. The series ran for nine seasons throughout the ‘90s.
