Spinoff
During the show's final season, Barr was in negotiations between Carsey-Werner Productions and ABC executives on continuing to play Roseanne Conner in a spinoff. However, ABC withdrew from negotiations with Carsey-Werner and Barr after failed discussions with CBS and Fox. Barr and Carsey-Werner agreed to discontinue the negotiations.
In the Fall of 2008, Barr commented on what the Conners would be up to now. "I've always said now that if they were on TV, DJ would have been killed in Iraq and would have lost their house". When asked for more details on where the rest of the Conners (Dan, Jackie, Becky, Darlene, David, and Mark) would be, Barr said "Your question is intellectual property that may be developed later, so I don't want to get into that". She added, "No preview, absolutely not". On December 20, 2009, Barr posted an entry on her website regarding what a possible Roseanne reunion would be like, which includes: DJ being published, Mark dying in Iraq; David leaving Darlene for a woman half his age; Darlene meeting a woman and having a test tube baby; Becky working at Walmart; Roseanne and Jackie opening the first medical marijuana dispensary in Lanford; Arnie becoming the best friend of the Governor of Illinois and remarrying Nancy; Bev selling a painting for $10,000, Jerry and the grandsons forming a music group similar to the Jonas Brothers; Dan reappearing alive after faking his death; and Bonnie being arrested for selling crack.
