It’s a Saturday during the regular football season, but the Conners already are ready to support the Bears the next day. It turns out the working-class residents of fictional Lanford, Illinois, make it through the week by cheering on their favorite football team.
Things become tense when Becky Conner brings her family a harrowing surprise: her new boyfriend, a devout but hypocritical Christian determined to criticize their Bears pride and look down on their Sunday ritual.
He is also a Packers fan.
The story for this week’s episode of ABC’s “The Conners” (7 p.m. Tuesday on WLS-Channel 7) comes from Evanston-born actress Alicia “Lecy” Goranson, who has played Becky off and on since she was cast for the original “Roseanne” in 1988.
