Did I watch it? No, but Roseanne’s tweet basically gave me everything I needed.
I AIN’T DEAD, BITCHES!!!!

The REAL Roseanne lives on!
ANYWAY. The preliminary ratings are in. While it wasn’t a DISASTER, it certainly didn’t compare to the ratings the “Roseanne” reboot garnered.
ABC’s Roseanne-without-Roseanne spin-off The Conners couldn’t come anywhere close to the blockbuster premiere rating of its predecessor, yet still had a very strong number that led Tuesday night in the ratings.
The debut airing delivered 10.5 million viewers and a 2.3 rating among adults 18-49.
That’s down 55 percent from the premiere of Roseanne last spring, but was on par with Roseanne‘s finale and even managed to edge out NBC’s This Is Us for the night.
Remember– the “Roseanne” reboot premiere episode garnered a whopping 18 million viewers.
I expected the premiere to have a decent turnout (everyone was curious to see how they’d handle Roseanne’s death), but I think it’s all downhill from here.
Guess we’ll see in the coming weeks…
