The Conners

The Separation of Church and Dan

This was a great way to show the different ways people grieve.  If you were confused by the timeline of The Conners Season 1 Episode 4, you are not alone because it was a jumbled mess.  This was clearly supposed to be the second episode of the season but was instead pushed back to make room for Blue in The Conners Season 1 Episode 2 and the Halloween episode in The Conners Season 1 Episode 3.  I'm disappointed they didn't go ahead and keep this as the seco... more
