How does it feel to be going into the sixth season of “The Conners”? I feel like that’s something not a lot of shows hit anymore.

John Goodman: It went by fast.

Ames McNamara: Yeah, I can’t believe it. Sixth season, about to hit our hundredth episode. It’s amazing. I never thought we would get here, but I’m so grateful and amazed that we did.

When we enter the new season, where do we see both of your characters?

Goodman: Eden?

McNamara: Oh yeah. 

Goodman: I don’t know, it’s hard to say because we don’t know what’s going to happen. There’s no big scenario that they paint for us — arc, if you will — over the years. So every week’s a surprise and a happy one.

McNamara: Definitely. I think, like John said, there’s a lot that is still in progress or to come that we don’t know about yet. I’ll say one thing, Mark will definitely be dealing with college life now that he’s graduated high school, and that’s something that will be coming up.
