According to a report from The Daily Mail, two senior executives at the network are expressing hesitation ahead of next weeks premiere of the Roseanne spinoff The Conners, suggesting that her firing last summer may have been a knee-jerk reaction. We didnt think it through properly. What Roseanne did was wrong but we shouldnt have rushed to fire her. It was almost a knee-jerk reaction by Ben [Sherwood] and Channing [Dungey] who should have launched an investigation, a source told The Daily Mail. This would have given them more time to listen to the public, advertisers and cast members to determine the best decision. The Conners has the entire cast returning without Roseanne, but one executive fears there simply isnt enough interest without its star. When we greenlit The Conners we thought that the public would tune in to see the family return but what weve discovered is that people want Roseanne they dont want the family by themselves, another source said. The marketing and publicity teams are horrified as no matter what promotional material is released and lets be honest its been limited for a show that launches next Tuesday Roseannes fans come out in force stating that they wont watch the show. An ABC insider admitted of a pretty grim forecast for The Conners. What were expecting is for there to be some tune in so fans can actually learn how Roseanne departs, but from there the worry is the ratings will freefall, the source continued. In the end the ratings are all that matter and there are many people at Disney and ABC who are worried that firing Roseanne will see their Tuesday night ratings drop substantially. And should The Conners flop, Channing and her team will have many questions to answer. Roseanne was fired within hours for a racially-charged tweet attacking former Obama official Valerie Jarrett. --- "Don't trade your authenticity for approval." -Kanye West <cite>Funbazooka posted [p:910475805] in ABC Execut...
