May 16, 20196 yr SIAP, searched didn't find. Weird haven't heard anything about this. Comes on next week, live TV Archie - Woodie Harrelson Edith - Marise Tomei George Jefferson - Jamie Foxx Louise - Wanda Sykes ... and holy shit, Will Ferrel as Tom Willis and Kerry Washington as Helen https://deadline.com/2019/05/kerry-washington-joins-norman-lear-all-in-the-family-the-jeffersons-recreation-abc-1202614060/
May 16, 20196 yr Man, it's hard for me to envision anyone other than Carrol O'Connor and Jean Stapleton playing Archie and Edith.
May 16, 20196 yr The originals were so good I can’t see how this would be a good thing especially given that the themes will be neutered by our current sensitivities and constant level of outrage. I can see ham fisted social message at the expense of funny. That’s what made the originals so special. They were progressive but at the same time very funny. We’ll see. Maybe they’ll be good. I have to admit that I generally have a bias against reboots of classics because it strikes me as lazy. I could be wrong.
May 16, 20196 yr Saw a promo for this last week and then nothing. Thought I'd missed it. Oddly, it's going to be on ABC.
May 16, 20196 yr How the hell are you gonna mess up Marissa Tomei to make her a believable Edith Bunker?

May 16, 20196 yr How in the snowflake world are they going to reboot Archie Bunker and do it properly?

May 16, 20196 yr 15 minutes ago, Deej said: She has that vibe. never heard of her...does she look like this?
May 17, 20196 yr A remake of two episodes....where they strictly recreate the episodes as if back in the 70's? 'Cuz that is the only way I can see this working, not projecting forward and rebooting the characters in today's world.
May 17, 20196 yr 12 minutes ago, Herpa Derpa said: Gloria - Ellie Kemper Gloria was a blonde with tig bitties. But it could be worse.
May 18, 20196 yr Already set to record on the DVR...though I will very likely watch it live as it’s happening.

May 18, 20196 yr It's not a reboot. It's an homage. Kinda like watching the touring company of Hamilton.
May 19, 20196 yr If we're to believe what Kimmel said on Stern, it won't be PC. Should be interesting triggering.

May 22, 20196 yr Kevin Hart instead of Jamie Foxx would be much better. Because Kevin Hart is diminutive, and funny. And Jamie Foxx is an asshole
May 22, 20196 yr F'n DirecTv app doesn't carry ABC. Gonna have to wait until I get home and watch on DVR. So nobody post anything about it until after midnight!

May 23, 20196 yr I love Marisa Tomei. She shouldn't be playing Edith Bunker. This is horrible. I'm out.
May 23, 20196 yr I get that this is a tribute to the original characters, it’s way too over the top. Most of the casting is, well not good.
May 23, 20196 yr I think Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton would have done a better job at this. And I mean like currently.
May 23, 20196 yr Jamie Foxx is about the only redeeming quality about this. He's overplaying the fuck out of it, but it works.
