ABC's 'The Conners' Photos Show Life Post-'Roseanne'
The Conner family is going to "keep on truckin'."
Less than four months after the controversy that led to "Roseanne" being canceled, ABC has released new photos from "The Conners." The upcoming spinoff brings back the iconic TV family minus its matriarch, Roseanne Conner (Roseanne Barr). Several original family members are accounted in the photos, including Dan (John Goodman), Becky (Lecy Goranson), Darlene (Sara Gilbert), and Jackie (Laurie Metcalf).
"Keep on truckin'," said the tweet that accompanied the photos via the official "The Conners" Twitter account.
"The Conners" is new, but it has a long history. The series will debut just two days shy of the 30th anniversary of the original "Roseanne" premiere date. In spite of the changes, the show seems to be trying to remain as close to its roots as possible. Each of the new photos shows family members interacting in the Conners' very familiar house.
A promo released last week highlighted both the familiarity and the unknown. It showed the Conner family kitchen while asking, "What's next?" in text.
We'll see where "The Conners" takes us when the series premieres Tuesday, Oct. 16 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
