ABC brought another show to season finale this week with the fourth season of The Conners, the sequel series to Roseanne after Roseanne Barr did some stupid racist shit and got her character killed off. I really enjoy watching this show every week and despite the hate it continues to get purely based on the absence of Roseanne, the show pushes on. It has already been picked up for a fifth season, so despite what that loud minority thinks, the show connects with a new audience that wants to see the story continue. John Goodman continues to lead the family and take care of his kids as life finds ways to mess with The Conners. Laurie Metcalf is a good sport essentially just playing the family punching bag, but this season she gets a few fun story points of her own. Sara Gilbert and Alicia Goranson play off of each other and their costars very well despite being total opposite sisters. Michael Fishman never gets anything to do, he’s rarely around as well and when he is he only gets a few lines, give the man more to do please. Emma Kenney is pretty great and watching the ways her character grows has been a lot of fun. Ames McNamara and Jayden Rey are great actors that also don’t get much to do. McNamara gets a decent amount here and there but never for very long. Jay R. Ferguson keeps finding ways to work himself back into the story and I can’t complain, I really enjoy his character and the vibes he brings to the show. Katey Segal and Nat Faxon continue to be really good additions to the cast and I’m so happy they have a solid place to stay in the cast for as long as the show keeps going. I’ve really enjoyed what they’ve been doing with this show and I just want them to lighten up a bit. This poor family has been through so much and they could really use a win or two. So many episodes are so depressing or pessimistic but I applaud their continued effort to portray real issues facing real families as our world continues to change. I’m giving season four of The Conners a very big 7/10, very excited to see where they take the show in season five. -Tyler.
