This isn't Roseanne. And it has nothing to do with the the lack of Roseanne. The Conners was to be a continuation for the original series, but it couldn't be further from it.
Picture a sitcom so realistic and relatable with great characters and actor chemistry, so great it can last depending on who you ask, four to eight good seasons (Definitely not nine. There was no ninth season of Roseanne. You don't know what you're talking about!) Anyway, imagine you put that show on a shelf for over 20 years, very improperly stored. You now have the Conners.
This show had potential; Dan (the funny guy) and Darlene (The sarcastic and clever turned deep thinking teen) were arguably the best characters on early to mid Roseanne. But now Darlene is a self-righteous know-it-all and John Goodman as Dan looks like he's "getting to old for this $**t" and there just to recite lines. Further, Jackie has turned from an understandable single 30-something to a cartoonish-crazy cat lady, minus the cats.
The absolute worst difference is the expedition. Every. Episode. And several in each. It is purely woeful that a show with the most natural dialogue on a sitcom at it's time can turn into a minefield of over-explaining. Skip unless you're willing to see a TKO of a 90s gem.

What is the plot of this movie you may ask? The answer is that there barely is one and it truly doesn't matter anyway. One hour of total nonsense, this film seems like a middle schoolers' D grade film project.
Viewership has quite likely been propelled my numerous negitive commentary videos by popular Youtubers. Those who love "hate watching" pressed play hoping for a perposperous treat, but the majority of it is so boring, the fun dwindles even before the half-way point.
The plot is inconsistant, the editing lazy and slowed to burn time in order to make the 60 minute mark. The sound is subpar. When watching, one who was raised to be kind to all, may struggle to find something positive to say. "A for effort"?
1 point for the Beatboxing Puppy song Which is both exactly as it sounds and more amazing than you can imagine. The song can be found independently on YouTube and has the same context inside the movie as outside.

Right from the trailer, it's no surprise that. 90s House is fake/staged and yet I was compelled to watch each episode.
These types of "reality" shows are made with the same ingredients: contestants to love, contestants to hate, contestants you love-to-hate. Irritatingly fake drama. Perfected premises and editing to keep the viewer hooked, at least until the end of the episode, and in this particular case, bait for early Millennials/Gen Xers to hate-watch these "Kids today!" "They don't know what a fax machine is??!" With this in mind, 90s house is surprisingly watchable.
Like walking into a sweets shop, with the pretty packaging, bubblegum pop and comforting nostalgia, 90s house is brain candy at it's finest.
