This isn't Roseanne. And it has nothing to do with the the lack of Roseanne. The Conners was to be a continuation for the original series, but it couldn't be further from it.
Picture a sitcom so realistic and relatable with great characters and actor chemistry, so great it can last depending on who you ask, four to eight good seasons (Definitely not nine. There was no ninth season of Roseanne. You don't know what you're talking about!) Anyway, imagine you put that show on a shelf for over 20 years, very improperly stored. You now have the Conners.
This show had potential; Dan (the funny guy) and Darlene (The sarcastic and clever turned deep thinking teen) were arguably the best characters on early to mid Roseanne. But now Darlene is a self-righteous know-it-all and John Goodman as Dan looks like he's "getting to old for this $**t" and there just to recite lines. Further, Jackie has turned from an understandable single 30-something to a cartoonish-crazy cat lady, minus the cats.
The absolute worst difference is the expedition. Every. Episode. And several in each. It is purely woeful that a show with the most natural dialogue on a sitcom at it's time can turn into a minefield of over-explaining. Skip unless you're willing to see a TKO of a 90s gem.
