The Conners is expected to be one of TV's biggest shows of the season when it premieres on Tuesday night. So, obviously, no one is going to want to miss it just because they don't have access to a TV.
Luckily, watching the sitcom on the boob-tube isn't the only option for viewers. Those hoping to catch the spinoff of the Roseanne revival—which got the ax after the comedy series' matriarchal lead Roseanne Barr was fired by ABC in the summer—can still tune in and in real time.
In addition to the ABC's broadcast airing the show, which stars Roseanne alum John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf and Sara Gilbert, a live stream of The Conners will also be available on smart devices like computers, phones and tablets on ABC's website as well as on the network's app, ABC Go. To access the stream, viewers will still need to use their cable provider's login information.
Those without cable can still watch The Conners via Hulu, if they have subscriptions. With Hulu's Live TV service, which allows users to stream show premieres in real-time, fans can still tune in to the Lanford, Illinois family as they go about their day-to-day and cope with the hardships of life in working-class America. Through Hulu's Live TV subscription, viewers not only have access to the premiere of The Conners, but a whole library of more than 50 live TV channels like ABC, Fox and NBC.
Of course, standard Hulu costumers will still have access to The Conners after it airs via on-demand.
Other streaming networks that feature live TV—meaning, you can watch The Conners premiere—included Playstation Vue and DirecTV Now.
The premiere episode of The Conners will see the return of the blue-collar family, however, without it's mom-in-charge, Roseanne Barr, who was the lead on her former namesake series.
The Conners premieres on ABC on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET.
