Starring an all-star cast including: Chris Hemsworth, Dakota Johnson, Jon Hamm, and Jeff Bridges.

TV – The Conners

Has a primetime sitcom ever been drenched in so much sadness? This Roseanne spin-off, created to salvage fans’ feelings, iconic characters and the working professionals burnt in Roseanne Barr’s firing, will likely premiere with Roseanne dead, Dan (John Goodman) moping because she’s dead, and presumably more of the same working-class, Midwestern blues stuff as before. There will be an unexpected pregnancy, ABC says, which promises some drama, although nothing producers could ever write could possibly top what happened off-screen. However, I think we will all be watching to see how they killed off Roseanne!

Tues, October 16; 8pm; ABC

CONCERT – Lauryn Hill

The former Fugee celebrates the 20th anniversary of her breakthrough solo release, “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.” The 1998 album is now widely considered a hip-hop essential.
