Wed Mar 19 23:40:00 UTC 2025: ## ABC’s “The Conners” Concludes its Run After Seven Seasons

**Los Angeles, CA** – After nearly 17 years on ABC, the Conner family is saying goodbye. “The Conners,” the spin-off of the iconic sitcom “Roseanne,” will conclude its run with a shortened seventh season premiering Wednesday, March 26th at 8 p.m. ET.

The show, starring John Goodman as Dan Conner, Laurie Metcalf as Jackie Harris, Sara Gilbert as Darlene Conner, Lecy Goranson as Becky Conner, and Emma Kenney as Harris Conner, followed the working-class family’s lives after the controversial departure of Roseanne Barr in 2018. While “The Conners” enjoyed a successful run, achieving high ratings in its initial seasons, critics point to a decline in quality after Barr’s exit. The show’s focus, they argue, shifted away from its strongest elements, particularly the character of Dan Conner, played by Goodman, who should have been at the center of the spin-off. Other recurring characters, like Jackie and Ben (Jay R. Ferguson), received inconsistent screen time, while characters like D.J. Conner (Michael Fishman) were largely sidelined.

The series’ long run, including its predecessor “Roseanne,” makes the Conner family one of the longest-running fictional families in primetime television history. Despite its popularity, the show’s final season will be considerably shorter than previous seasons. The absence of Roseanne Barr has cast a shadow, with some hoping for a final twist that would bring her back. However, whether the Conner clan’s story will ultimately end with a dreamlike resolution remains to be seen.
