The spin-off sees a small top-up to its freshman run.
October 26, 2018
ABC ordered an extra episode for Season 1 of The Conners today, extending its debut outing to 11 total. The news comes just two episodes into the show's run.
A spin-off of Roseanne, which had its time on the air cut short due to controversy surrounding its star, The Conners continues the story of the titular family, acting in a way as a second season to its source material. Before its cancellation, Roseanne had actually been renewed for a 13-episode sophomore run.
The Conners follows the family members' lives after a sudden turn of events alters their landscape forever. Forced to continue living their daily working-class lives in Lanford in a completely new way, Dan, Jackie, Darlene, Becky, and D.J. tackle everything from parenthood and financial pressure to dating and unexpected pregnancy.

Finally getting rid of Roseanne is a giant improvement. Her lack of humor and poor acting skills chased me away after a couple seasons. I would occasionally tune in to see if the fixed the show because I liked most of the other performances. I’ll stick with this reboot for 11 episodes to see if they can build something decent.

The show was bad WITH Roseanne.. but it was at least entertaining due to her cackle and moronic viewpoints (not just political). But without Roseanne, it's a show about nothing... but it ain't no Seinfeld. There's been really ZERO humor thus far... so.. yeah.. cancel it again already. They should have let bat-shit-crazy Roseanne keep filming.. at least then it would again be entertaining in the way a train wreck is entertaining.

It isn't funny ...roseanne wasn't even funny why even resurrect a dumb show that will be cancelled anyways ?
should not have bothered with it , there was plenty other shows that could have had a revival why dumb Roseanne and her wannabes who haven't even acted for decades ?
unbelievable...only in America ...

Yay!!! I actually really like this show. Turns out they don’t need Roseanne. I don’t even miss her.

Why bother to add an episode? SammyD is right -- it isn't a show without Roseanne...

Ha! This show is absolutely terrible without Roseanne. Couldn't even get through the first episode.

Awesome! Dan and Jackie always made the show. I could never accept that on a show called 'Roseanne' the most annoying character was Roseanne herself. I am much happier with this spinoff.

Some executive must be heavily invested in making the show not look like a total failure
