As with anything controversial, opponents are usually the strongest in the room. And, in the case of cancellation by ABC of its hot reboot Roseanne, then pick up its fallout Conners, many said with conviction that a show could not survive without its main star. In this case, whether or not it is a successful series, one thing is certain: it's brilliant.

The conners supports the same mirror as a large segment of blue-collar workers of the population that many can relate to. And that remains topical, relevant and contemporary in accurately describing important topics such as health care and insurance, foreclosures, difficulty finding and keeping jobs and the political divide in this country.

This morning, a small group of entertainment journalists from Los Angeles and New York saw the pilot episode as well as the fourth episode of the new show. Examinations are expected to be mixed; some will like it, some will think it's ok and others will have strong negative feelings about it.

My personal opinion is that The conners, with the participation of the same talented cast, screenwriters and the team, is hilarious, intelligent, full of heart and the treatment of the exit of Roseanne Barr was done brilliantly, and in the true way of the series, in a way that touches enormously important and timely topic.

One of the conditions the network had for us today was that we could not spoil for the public the way Barr's character was written outside of the show. All I can say for sure, is that I laughed, cried, and then kept laughing and crying. You will have to wait for the premiere of the show this Tuesday on ABC at 8pm. ET / PT to decide for yourself.

Executive Producer Tom Werner pindicates that the public is waiting to see how Roseanne's character leaves the show until the first. He also heard critics wonder how the Roseanne the fallout can survive without Barr. "The show was calling Roseannebut it was still a show about the Conner family, "he said. We do not hide from the absence of Roseanne. All characters will have to play a leading role in the family dynamics. "

Before restarting Rosanne was canceled in May by ABC after Barr's racist tweets provoked a tumult, the show set all kinds of records, starting with the first episode of the tenth season in nine episodes, which recorded the most Big increase ever recorded with Total Viewer Live in seven days on any network in the history of television. 18.4 million viewers watched the same day, with 8.8 million viewers in 7 days, Roseanne's Total viewers for the first broadcast to more than 27.2 million viewers. In a few days, ABC has announced an additional season of 13 episodes.

Roseanne maintained its position of Tuesday's first concert, its second week with 15.4 million viewers the same day, retaining 84% of viewers. In the first three days, this number has been increased to over 20.3 million viewers. Will The conners do the same? We will know in a few days.

Personally, I hope that things are going well. The public will have to have an open mind. It is also important to remember that it was the actions of one person that caused the collapse of the show and that hundreds of people suffered a negative impact.

In May, when ABC took the most forceful steps against the racism that a network can take to cancel the restart of its hit, the people involved in the show were devastated. But after Barr's racist tweet about Obama's former help, Valerie Jarrett, who said that Jarrett is a product of the Muslim brotherhood and the Planet of the Apes, there was not much choice.

Barr's subsequent apology for "making a bad joke", tweet removal and the abandonment of Twitter were apparently not enough to convince ABC Entertainment's president, Channing Dungey, who had declared to the The comment was "odious, repulsive and incompatible with our values". and we decided to cancel his show. "This announcement closely followed Wanda Sykes who left the series.

In one month, ABC has decided to give the green light Conners, who immediately went straight to the series. The cast, screenwriters and film crew have resumed the new series of 10 episodes. Werner reached an agreement with Barr at the time to proceed without his involvement. He recognizes how disappointed everyone was when Roseanne has been cancelled. "I think we were all moved. A lot of people have lost their jobs. Our entire team, cameramen and women, decorators, scouts, the list is long. It was not the only reason, but it was certainly part of the decision and the reason we came back. "

It was also a wise choice from a commercial point of view for the network. Ain agreement with Kantar Media, the Roseanne The restart generated a significant profit for the network, estimating the revenues for this season (March to May) from Roseanne to $ 45 million. The second season of the restart, which included 13 episodes, was expected to yield up to $ 60 million in advertising revenue from first-run episodes with repeat broadcasts generating additional ad revenue. It will be interesting to see how The conners will do for the network.

Werner explains that rehiring unemployed people was one of the reasons why Barr agreed to let the split continue without her. He confirmed earlier information that Barr is not involved financially in any new issues. "She agreed to let us go ahead without any financial compensation because she wanted to take care of people who had worked so hard."

Werner is happy with the episodes they have made so far. "I am extremely proud of it." The spinoffs, he adds, will focus on the same important topics Roseanne famous fact. "We are dealing with topics that are relevant and applicable from the point of view of this working class family, as we did before. We will talk about the same issues that we have always talked about. It will not miss interesting stories. "

"For example," says Werner, "Dan is coming back to some of his bad habits now that there is no one left to defeat him, and Darlene is still separated from David. girlfriend, played by Juliette Lewis, is part of the parenting of Darlene's son and daughter, Darlene also has a new boyfriend, played by Justin Long, and the two are forced to confront each other. is not easy with a divorce to deal with the new partner of a former spouse.I think it's a question we can all join together. " DJ's wife returns from active duty in Afghanistan. "He is a character who has a strong and conservative view of this country."

"It's a new chapter in the life of the Conners. We are very proud of the series we have already shot. I think the audience will enjoy the show and keep coming back. The humor is still intact. I think if people connect, they will be very happy with how the Conners are moving forward. "

The conners stars John Goodman as Dan Conner, Laurie Metcalf as Jackie Harris, Sara Gilbert as Darlene Conner, Lecy Goranson as Becky Conner-Healy, Michael Fishman as DJ Conner, Emma Kenney as as Harris Conner-Healy, Ames McNamara as Mark Conner-Healy, Jayden Rey as Mary Conner, Maya Lynne Robinson as Geena Williams-Conner and Johnny Galecki as David. New members of the cast include Mary Steenburgen, Justin Long and Juliette Lewis.
