While The Conners season 6 wasnt entirely upbeat, the outing did allow Roseannes spinoff to give a happy ending to one character I assumed was doomed. I never expected happy endings from Roseanne or its spinoff, The Conners. After all, the reason Roseanne became The Conners was that Roseannes eponymous heroine died of an off-screen opioid overdose, a devastating twist that aligned with the shows broader commitment to addressing real-life social issues. I was glad The Conners moved on from Roseanne, but her death didnt come as a huge shock. The sitcom has been hard-hitting since its inception.
