Is The Conners new tonight on ABC? Season 5 episode 8 details

Is The Conners new tonight over on ABC? It goes without saying, but we’d love to have the series back as soon as possible. It’s been a great stable for most of the fall so far, and we know that there are some big, holiday-centric stories on the way.

Unfortunately, this is where some of the bad news does come into play: There is no new episode on the network tonight, as we are officially in the first real hiatus of the season. The good news? This is not a particularly long break. The plan is for season 5 episode 8 to arrive on November 16, and this is going to be a huge one for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, this is a story set around Thanksgiving. Beyond just that, it’s also one that will feature Beverly at the center of it.

Want to get a few more details on where things are going? Then go ahead and check out the full season 5 episode 8 synopsis below:

“Of Missing Minds and Missing Fries” – It’s Thanksgiving at the Conners and Jackie must come to terms with her mother, Beverly, becoming ill. Meanwhile, Darlene is on the job hunt which proves to be more difficult than anticipated on “The Conners,” WEDNESDAY, NOV. 16 (8:00-8:30 p.m. EST), on ABC. Watch episodes on demand and on Hulu the day following their premieres.

We do think that this is a storyline that the writers have wanted to address for quite some time now. While it’s true that we have seen stories about grief within this show already over the years, there is something about this one that feels different. A lot of that is just because of Beverly’s presence on the show, and also the multiple generations that we have within the family at this given point in time.
