Well, Candace Bergen appears to have been written in as another temporary substitute for Roseanne Barr on The Conners Season 3 Episode 7, but she ain't Roseanne.
Obviously, Bergen is a talented actor, backed by an illustrious career, and her own very successful sitcom, Murphy Brown.
And she isn't posited into The Conners here as a replacement, really.
But using Bergen is another example of introducing a popular female personality to draw attention away from the network and the producers' choice to end Barr's career.
It just doesn't work.
Katey Sagal has been a wonderful choice for this sort of feat.
Her character is not remotely similar to Roseanne Conner, but even so, her presence only reminds us of the huge void that remains the series' biggest problem.
You remind me of somebody. If you told me I'll never amount to anything, it would be downright eerie.
Jackie Permalink: You remind me of somebody.
