The Conners

[KyleEl]

Amazing! Beverly had all this money when the family was struggling so much and didn't tell them?

The Lunch Box is reopening and this time it will succeed!

Poor Darlene. Things aren't going well at work.

[KyleEl]

No, The Lunch Box isn't opening. How can Darlene be so mean?

Great jokes about Bev and Becky and we don't even need Bev.

Mark Harris won the race for Congress in an N.C. district but the results were thrown out and he didn't run again. I know the writers probably weren't thinking of him ...

[KyleEl]

I'm so pleased Darlene came through, but I did not like the path it took to get there.

It's easy to see why Laurie Metcalf wins all those awards.

Harris isn't right to do what she's doing but Odessa needs help.

I like Katey Sagal but I have trouble with the idea of her "replacing" Roseanne. Meanwhile, she did get mentioned a lot more than she has in other episodes.

[KyleEl]

That was wonderful how the town came through for the Lunch Box. I thought Darlene was right to refuse to help and for a while it appeared she was right.

Becky had a good idea (which is rare for her) when she thought she needed to go back to her old job. Katey Sagal's character is so nice. I miss "Superior Donuts" but Murray's jerk of a dad was quite good on "The Goldbergs".

They seem so much happier in the second photo.

[KyleEl]

I'm glad Jackie and Dan's girlfriend worked out their issues. I like her but I kind of see Jackie's point.

Such a shame Darlene lost her job. If she had just stayed quiet it wouldn't have happened. I was so hoping she'd be less demanding.

Something similar happened on "Superstore". The union made outrageous demands and got what they wanted--because the company had been sold and the new owner didn't have to do anything!

Now I wonder if Darlene will have to work at The Lunch Box.

[KyleEl]

The impeachment announcement interrupted a 70s-style commercial for Tuesday comedies during "Live in Front of a Studio Audience". I never saw the whole thing.

[KyleEl]

The real Bears did not win that game. I don't know whether that was the playoffs but the Packers did not lose.

They will have a live episode about Super Tuesday, I read somewhere.

I hope Darlene can make that magazine work because her boss is falling apart.

Becky sure knows how to pick boyfriends.

[KyleEl]

I hate that Katey Sagal's character left like that, but she had to take advantage of the opportunity. I have finally realized with "Modern Family" ending, there's not much chance she'll be on that show.

Jackie's meat seller is gorgeous except when she smiles. I believed she wanted to be a friend.

What a shame Harris couldn't get more aid that wasn't loans. Too many students have too many loans to pay back. I was poor enough I got grants. Surely she is worse off than I was.

Dan reminded me of me trying to move. But my problem isn't my back.

[KyleEl]

The actor playing Mark did such a good job with a live episode. They all did. The only glitch I saw was focusing the cameras.

I was disappointed more of the coverage of the primary wasn't shown.

Dan had to make his feelings known. And the family didn't handle their situation very well, but then they didn't know.

[KyleEl]

I assumed Dan's father was deceased. I don't recall if we ever knew anything about him. There are episodes of "Roseanne" I haven't seen.

It's a shame Dan treated his brother the way he did.

The man who took over as cook was the moron on "Trial and Error". He was so funny on that show.

[KyleEl]

Jackie's dress looked nice.

I thought Dan didn't know Ed Jr. even existed but that footage from the original series showed Dan babysitting him. That was great to see.

I like that Dan is getting along with his brother now.

It's so funny when they talk about how old Darlene is. She doesn't look that old.

[KyleEl]

I was hoping for more of Ozzy and Sharon. And I wish there had been less of Jackie's new friends.

I wish Darlene had been a better employee and that she hadn't gotten Harris fired. I like for Darlene to have an attitude but she's an adult with responsibilities.

At least Darlene's other job seems to be working out.

[KyleEl]

I was worried Harris was taking too long to take that job. Everything seems to be working out. But Harris sure was down for a long time.

Becky finally got the help she needed, but at a cost. Jackie is no "welfare lesbian". She's working hard to get that restaurant running. And she likes men.

[KyleEl]

Beverly was so mean.

Mark is the one who deserved the money because the camp was something he was already committed to.

Harris should have gotten money if Beverly was willing to do it for both of them. I'm surprised she wants to make a career of being a tattoo artist. She hasn't worked there very long.

I wish Dan hadn't gone to that concert.

[KyleEl]

Keyboard players don't have fans? "So In To You" and "Spooky" by ARS.

Dan was so nice to the man even after what he did, but it's too late.

Poor Becky. It was all just too much.

Darlene WANTS a baby? She's 43 and has had such a hard time with the kids she has. Her man is such a good dad.

[KyleEl]

Dan is finally back with his girlfriend. That was nice. The poker buddies were funny.

Darlene's boyfriend wants to take care of kids. It was funny what happened to her but she wasn't too happy about Mark being in his room with a girl. He IS still gay, right?

[KyleEl]

I can't believe Becky got married. But Emilio still can't come to this country for two years?

That apartment was too perfect.

I hope Dan can find a way to keep the house and that he can accept help from his family.

Jackie was so funny at the border.

I don't see coronavirus updates any more but I let ABC shows record with an antenna anyway. It's a good thing. Something happened to the last five minutes of "America's Funniest Home Videos" and I had a backup. Then everything went out Tuesday. I checked other channels and some were misbehaving the same way as the ABC station and others were gone entirely. The news channel worked, though. The ABC station never came back. I was experiencing the same glitches an hour later. I was actually seeing video from The CW.

[KyleEl]

This is another show that is acknowledging there is a pandemic. But apparently if everyone is at home, they can be around each other as much as they want.

I recognized Sherman Hemsley's daughter from "Amen" as one of the co-workers at the factory. Yes, Becky and Darlene are working where their mother worked. Jackie is doing deliveries.

[KyleEl]

Beverly Rose celebrated her first birthday and her father wanted to go all out. Where could he possibly have gotten the money? No one on the show has any money. Also, if ICE ever finds him he's gone for good. Dan is not happy he's even around.

Darlene was pregnant. Or was she?

[KyleEl]

Darlene should be Becky's boss. I get that she's going to be hard on her sister but maybe it was too much. This is more like the way things used to be.

Darlene's boss was a good sport about being brought into that house. There are way too many jokes about how bad a place that is.

[KyleEl]

I was not at all surprised Darlene's boss was trans. I was disappointed Darlene didn't get a promotion.

I know Dan is broke but they never show him working any more.

Harris really needed to get back to work. It was nice she could participate but sooner or later you have to return to the real world.

[KyleEl]

Mark at school via Zoom! That was funny. There are all sorts of problems to deal with I hadn't thought about. Dan should have been more considerate because the teacher has enough to deal with.

Candice Bergen is always fun. Poor Darlene. And then a big secret she has to keep, and she doesn't do it very well. Jackie's cuisine gets dismissed as hobo food.

Emilio needs to be more careful. If he and Becky and both dating other people, immigration could come after him.

[KyleEl]

I'm a week behind but you'd think Dan would be grateful Ben was building Becky a closet. Dan works hard enough as it is. But no, he had to criticize Ben.

And now Harris has a rich boyfriend who is supposedly just using her during the protests.

[KyleEl]

I didn't finish the episode but I really like Dan's girlfriend. Jackie, on the other hand, has gone off the deep end taking drugs. Just for the one episode. I can't recall ever seeing the bathroom but the color scheme is nice.

Ben thinks he can succeed doing a podcast so he quit his real job. Darlene is now the boss and Becky is the union rep.

[KyleEl]

I can't believe of all the actors on the show it was the one playing Becky who was nominated last week.

I saw an episode that was a month old. I don't know how that happened.

Darlene didn't try hard enough and got an assistant who was nuts and making her life miserable.

And Dan was jealous of his partner Chuck and almost ended a friendship that lasted 40 years.

[KyleEl]

The good news is that while Becky was having so much trouble with her drinking she had to go back to rehab, they made it an episode that ending with a message for people with a drinking problem.

I'm a few episodes behind.

At least Dan went back to work for Ben.

[KyleEl]

I finally saw the finale. So Ben and Darlene might break up.

I thought it was kind of overdone that DJ's wife knew nothing but it was interesting to recap the season like that.

It's a good thing "Rebel" was cancelled if Louise is going to marry Dan.
