— now that ABC is close to renewing the Roseanne spinoff for a seventh and final season.
Season-to-date, The Conners is averaging 3.8 million total viewers and a 0.4 demo rating (with Live+7 playback), down 24% and 43% from its Season 5 numbers.
It was last spring when the producers behind The Conners first floated the idea that the series might end with its current Season 6.
One month later, leading man John Goodman added fuel to the fire when he suggested that The Conners was rounding the corner.
