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. 

Saw a promo for this last week and then nothing. Thought I'd missed it. Oddly, it's going to be on ABC.

How the hell are you gonna mess up Marissa Tomei to make her a believable Edith Bunker?  

just a special. they’re recreating two actual episodes. not rebooting the shows.

Ashton Kutcher

How in the snowflake world are they going to reboot Archie Bunker and do it properly?

I always thought Kristen Schaal would have made a good Edith Bunker in a remake.

Gloria - Ellie Kemper

Meathead - Ike Barinholtz

Henry Jefferson - Anthony Anderson

Damn, that’s a good one.

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.

Gloria was a blonde with tig bitties. But it could be worse.

Already set to record on the DVR...though I will very likely watch it live as it’s happening.

They're not.

It's not a reboot. It's an homage. Kinda like watching the touring company of Hamilton.

As a series, I was like, hell no, as a tribute, I am fine with this, in.

If we're to believe what Kimmel said on Stern, it won't be PC.  Should be interesting triggering.

I have no idea what the fuck is going on with this.

Kevin Hart instead of Jamie Foxx would be much better.  Because Kevin Hart is diminutive,  and funny. And Jamie Foxx is an asshole 

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!

And Kevin Hart's not? Jamie Foxx is a lot more talented. 

I love Marisa Tomei. She shouldn't be playing Edith Bunker. 

This is horrible. I'm out. 

You feeling weird about your Edith Bunker boner too? I hear ya.

Ah the nostalgia. I now remember why All in the Family sucked.

I think Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton would have done a better job at this. And I mean like currently.

Jamie Foxx is about the only redeeming quality about this.  He's overplaying the fuck out of it, but it works.
