HISTORICAL FACTS: Why the conners ended with john goodman on that now infamous couch scene | History Defined

John Goodman as Dan Conner saying goodnight to the camera and sitting on a couch on The Conners.

After over 30 years, the Conner family took their final bow on a set (at least I assume). Fans said a seemingly definitive goodbye to the beloved brood by way of the series finale of the Roseanne spinoff The Conners, which aired on the 2025 TV schedule. The sitcom is one of many shows that's ended in 2025, but few titles on that list arguably have as much history wrapped up in them as this one has. It was bittersweet seeing an era come to a close, and John Goodman is now opening up the couch scene that closed out the show.

As is the case with some series finales, The Conners’ final episode, “The Truck Stops Here,” included some montages of scenes from the show and its predecessor, as the family dispersed from the living room. Eventually, Goodman’s Dan Conner was the only one left on the couch and, before leaving, he said goodnight directly to the camera.
