Its been on the air for 7 years? What is time?

[klutzy_girl]

Eight, if you include the Roseanne reboot that lasted a season!

Oh my word.

Oh no, Gina! Now what? Mama let’s research!

For those of you keeping score yes that’s the 2nd time I’ve made that joke this week but it makes me giggle everytime I think of it so here we are.

my dad is in a band with other retired guys and they’re called “not done yet” but i always mistakenly call them “not dead yet”, sorry dad!!!!

Can't believe The Conners has lasted almost as long as Roseanne - it's surreal! They just celebrated the hundredth episode a few weeks ago.

Weird ass continuity issues aside and the David character assassination I will never forgive them for, I still really love this show. Definitely going to miss it!

I love Dan/Louise with every fiber of my being - they're perfect. And I'll never be over the fact that Jackie's just unofficially a Conner at this point.

I like it a lot too, but I constantly forget that Becky is dating Sean Astin because they barely use him. Every time he pops up I’m like oh yeah, forgot about Tyler.

It bugs me too what they did with David because he never gave a deadbeat dad vibe in Roseanne - he worshipped Darlene. They could have just had them divorced and the kids seeing him off screen or something.

I also don’t get why they erased Jackie’s son (and the youngest Conner kid but he was kind of a nothing anyway).

And what happened to Mary? I know they wrote out DJ, but wasn’t Mary living with Dan most of the time? She’s just disappeared.

I liked Not Dead Yet. Though I didn’t like Lauren Ash in this role, and found Dennis rather annoying most of the time.

Needed more Cricket.

I think one of the reasons I liked S1 more than S2 is S1 had more Cricket. S2 basically made her a glorified extra and shifted more attention to Lexi’s character, her daddy issues, her relationship with Edward, and Nell’s love life.

I really liked season 1 but I they dropped the whole ghost premise almost completely in season 2 and it was just another normal workplace show but just not a good one…

I only watched two eps but it's disappointing they dropped the ghost thing, I really liked that
