The Conners 218 Live from Lanford Feb. 6, 2020 ABC’S ‘THE CONNERS’ TO AIR LIVE THE NIGHT OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY, TUESDAY, FEB. 11 ABC will air a special live episode of top-rated comedy “The Conners” the night of the New Hampshire primary, TUESDAY, FEB. 11 (8:00-8:30 p.m. EST). The cast will perform the episode live for both the East and West coast broadcasts. ABC News coverage of the first-in-the-nation New Hampshire primary will be incorporated into the story in real time as the results roll in during the evening. In the live episode titled “Live from Lanford,” Mark is watching the results of the primary for a school report with Harris who is apathetic to the electoral process and believes money’s influence in politics means real change is impossible. The rest of the Conners share their differing takes on why they all think everyone should vote, including their working-class perspective that you may have to vote for a candidate you don’t love but one that will “screw you the least.” All of this happens against the backdrop of romance when Louise (guest star Katey Sagal) gets an opportunity that might send her away from Lanford, prompting the family to interfere in Dan’s (John Goodman) complicated relationship with her by throwing Louise a surprise going-away party, creating major new tensions between Dan and his daughters. Guest stars will include Katey Sagal as Louise. The series stars John Goodman as Dan Conner, Laurie Metcalf as Jackie Harris, Sara Gilbert as Darlene Conner, Lecy Goranson as Becky Conner-Healy, Michael Fishman as D.J. Conner, Emma Kenney as Harris Conner-Healy, Ames McNamara as Mark Conner-Healy and Jayden Rey as Mary Conner. “The Conners” is executive produced by Tom Werner, along with Sara Gilbert, Bruce Helford, Dave Caplan, Bruce Rasmussen and Tony HernandeZ. Bruce Helford, Dave Caplan and Bruce Rasmussen are also writers. The series is from Sara + Tom. A TV parental guideline will be assigned to this program at a later date.

Sanders, Dean of Graduate Studies May 6, 2016 ABSTRACT This project explores the working class character Roseanne Conner—the fictional matriarch of Roseanne. Studying Roseanne’s role as a working class protagonist will intersect theories present Sociolinguists and New Working Class to analyze Roseanne’s language in its written and spoken form. Specifically, isolating written occurrences of the variant g-dropping (Fischer, 1958) will facilitate linguistic exploration and how spoken language characterizes working class individuals and the stereotypes embedded in working class speech. Audience Design Theory (Bell, 1984; Bell & Johnson, 1997) will discern if and how circumstances influence Roseanne’s use of careful or casual speech.

  • Class, Gender, and Identity in the Post-Cold War Working-Class Family Sitcom
    “Excuse the Mess, But We Live Here”: Class, Gender, and Identity in the Post-Cold War Working-Class Family Sitcom A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Melissa Drue Williams IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Elaine Tyler May, Advisor February 2009 © Melissa Williams 2009 Acknowledgements I would like to start by thanking my dissertation committee. I am grateful for Laurie Ouellette’s expertise while wondering many times what could have been had I encountered her wisdom and scholarship earlier in the process. Mary Vavrus provided interdisciplinary insight flavored with pragmatism, political empathy, and warm welcome. Although Lary May’s scholarship has forever altered the way I understand American history and culture, what Lary contributed most, literally from my first day in a grad school class, has been a clarity and honesty that provided the vast majority of my “aha!” moments through the process. Thanks to my advisor, Elaine Tyler May, for opening many academic and professional doors, sending gentle reminders to get moving again, putting on the brakes when I moved in the wrong direction, reading some very bad drafts, and offering countless personal generosities that went above and beyond the obligations of any advisor. Although my experiences at the University of Minnesota have at times made me despair about the future of the Academy, I met faculty and staff along the way whose guidance and support helped me make it through. Thank you to Hazel Dicken Garcia, Kevin Murphy, Sara Evans, David Noble, Jennifer Pierce, Louis Mendoza, Brenda Child, Marie Milsten-Fiedler, Colleen Hennen, and Melanie Steinman.
