The show is Roseanne, they can't do it without her. Yeah. The show would jump the shark by killing her off, she's the central character that everyone else plays off. Inky mentioned Edith leaving All in the Family, and that was the beginning of the end for them. You'd think Chuck Lorre would be gun shy to work with crazy extremist nutters after dealing with Charlie Sheen for so long.

No the season finale was on last week. Here's a thought - they could kill off Roseanne in the next episode, (no spoilers, Splat, but there was an upcoming surgery) and change the name to "The Connors". How crucial do you think Roseanne would be to the show if that happened? Inky for the win!

I just read a blurb today that a spin off of The Middle revolving around Sue Heck is in talks.
If ABC wants another blue collar comedy, that's one I think they should concentrate on.

I read that the cancellation put 100 people out of work. If Roseanne really cared about the consequences of her actions, she'd step up and allow the spin-off to happen. She'd still make money off it anyway.
Also, when I first heard what she twittered, I thought "she's going to use some sort of excuse like medication problems or drinking - sure enough. It was the Ambien!!!
Makers of Ambien assure the public that their medication is not linked to racism.

I wouldn't watch a spinoff with her gone. The only really good actor there is John Goodman, and he was good largely because he played off her so well. The rest of the characters are petty two-dimensional. Jackie and Darlene are the most interesting, but still not enough to carry a show without her because they do the same thing all.the.time. -- which is basically being in conflict with Roseanne. The rest of the characters were pretty much fillers and/or not played by good actors.
The plug is pulled, call the undertaker and move on.

Do spin offs ever really work though? The only one I can think of is Frasier

Was Parks & Rec a spinoff of The Office?

All in the Family had quality spinoffs because it was a top quality show.
Happy Days birthed Laverne & Shirley and Mork & Mindy.
Law & Order is an awesome little empire of spinoffs.
All the Chicago franchises are also good quality TV.

I liked Frasier far better than Cheers. And Maude was top-notch. I guess the Golden Girls was a sort of spin-off although years later.
