It’s not just “Roseanne 2.0” that’s suffering in the ratings of conservative turnaround.

Tim Allen’s “Last Man Standing,” transplanted from ABC to Fox, was down 255,000 viewers in its post World Series return.

On Friday, the comedy scored 6,026,000 viewers. Two weeks ago, it was up to 6,281,000.

“Last Man Standing” was also beaten in total viewers at 8pm by “McGyver” on CBS. Later in the evening, at 10pm, another conservative in a better show, Tom Selleck in “Blue Bloods,” scored over 8 million and was the top rated show for the night.

“Last Man” is now going to be watched closely to see if it is already fading a la “The Conners” on ABC.

Thanks to a clever reader who picked this up.

Police on Long Island — in real life– report that a man’s body has been found under the basement after 60 years. His adult children and grandchildren were excavating the basement and found his remains. It’s their father, and it looks like their mother– also deceased now– killed him back in 1960. The man had disappeared and no one knew his whereabouts.

On ABC’s “General Hospital” there’s almost an exact duplicate story line. A man disappeared, and was never found. The man’s daughter has always assumed mobsters did it. But in fact, her mom did it. They’ve got the remains, and the mom is about to get caught– maybe today, from what I’m told.

These things do happen– art prognosticates real life. In the 70s, on NBC’s “Another World,” a spurned woman had her whole house bugged to catch her cheating husband. Then weeks later, the Nixon tapes were revealed. The show’s rating’s went through the roof!

If only “GH” would write a storyline getting rid of Trump. And then it happens!

PS ABC was the first network to report the real life story– and “General Hospital” is on that network. Coincidence????

Two time Tony Award nominee Matthew Broderick has booked four episodes of “The Conners” as Jackie’s know-it-all and maybe insufferably funny boyfriend Peter.

Broderick had one short scene in this past Tuesday’s Halloween episode, and was offered four more on the spot. The double Tony winner (and many time nominee with lots of other theater and TV awards) has rarely appeared in prime time in a career that began when he was a teen in 1981. From “War Games” and “Ferris Bueller” to “You Can Count On Me” and “Manchester by the Sea,” Broderick has stuck mostly to top tier movies and stage work.

But there was a tantalizing offer, he told me last night at the Broadway opening of the revival of the 1983 Harvey Fierstein hit, “Torch Song.” (Broderick got his star on Broadway in the original production at 19.) The offer: “to act with Laurie Metcalf,” he said. Indeed, someone else had been scheduled to play Peter, then dropped out. Broderick got an emergency call, and when he heard Metcalf’s name he headed to the airport.

Now, no matter what happens with “The Conners,” we’ll at least see Broderick and Metcalf in four of the remaining episodes. Will there be a wedding at the end? I hope so. It sounds like a great match. Meantime, in real life, Broderick, of course, has been married to Sarah Jessica Parker for 20 — yes, 20– years and they have three kids.

Broderick is also the star of a new Netflix series called “Daybreak,” which will air next year.

PS I’ll have a review tomorrow noon for “Torch Song,” 35 years later better than ever.
