ABC Officially Picks Up The Conners, a Roseanne Barr-Free Spinoff of Roseanne

It will take over the show's Tuesday 8 p.m. time slot this fall

Three weeks after ABC abruptly canceled its top-rated series, Roseanne, the network has finally found a replacement show: a spinoff of the sitcom starring everyone but Roseanne Barr, whose racist tweet caused the show to be shelved in the first place.

ABC announced today that it is picking up The Conners straight-to-series with a 10-episode order, and the spinoff will air on Tuesdays at 8 p.m., in the slot originally earmarked this fall for Roseanne prior to that show’s cancellation.
