How dare these platforms try to babysit us and tell us we can't watch season 10? I have the right to watch the last season if I want! I have gotten my kids into the show thinking that, with all the platforms available, ONE would have the cajones to give the public the option to watch if they choose to. People paid for these services and paid for the season and it's now Unavailable cause everyone is in their Feelz. Despicable! Fantastic show, fantastic failure to provide the right to choose.

Season 5 was when it started to go down hill. Seasons 1-4 are full of great relatable episodes that bring comedy and drama perfectly acted. The later seasons sucked thats why I give 4 stars.

Won't watch The Conners until I can finish season 10 of Roseanne... and since no one carries that season, I guess ABC has lost out on likely millions of viewers for their "new" show.
