After 37 years on TV, the Conner family from the series "The Conners" aired its finale, featuring an emotional farewell scene. In a poignant moment, Dan Conner (John Goodman) spoke directly to the audience, showcasing deep emotional ties between the cast and the viewers. Executive producer Bruce Rasmussen acknowledged that the tearful goodbyes were spontaneous and captured authentic feelings. With the show concluding its narrative over seven seasons and a history stemming from the original "Roseanne," this finale solidified its legacy by being both a personal and a heartfelt send-off for the characters and fans alike.
Executive producer Bruce Rasmussen told The Post that the tearful "goodbyes" weren't scripted. "I don't think I've ever seen it before on TV, where the characters actually break the fourth wall, and you see the actual emotion of what [the actors are] going through," he said.
He added that they felt it fit "this particular show, 37 years on the air, this family being together. That was them saying goodbye to each other, for real."
Executive producer Dave Caplan chimed in, "They earned that moment...we've always tried to be really honest with our audience. It was just such an honest moment that it was irresistible to put it on."
