While The Conners season 6 could bring back Roseanne characters for cameos, season 5 proved that this isn’t a winning formula. The Conners had a tough time getting over the death of Roseanne. When the 2017 Roseanne revival proved a huge ratings success, it seemed as if nothing could stop the ‘90s sitcom from dominating the airwaves as the show had done decades earlier when it first debuted. However, when series star Roseanne Barr’s racist tweets saw her fired, Roseanne’s future was suddenly imperiled. As such, The Conners was born when the creators of Roseanne killed off the show’s title character and focused a spinoff on her grieving family.
