Gugny Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Tonight, 8pm Eastern, ABC. I don't know why, but I'm actually looking forward to this. I think it's mostly because I love Wanda Sykes (will be Louise Jefferson) and it's live ... so between her and Woody Harrelson (Archie Bunker), SOMEONE has to drop an F bomb, right??? Should be a lot of fun. I really like that it's (so far) a one-time-only affair. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/all-family-jeffersons-whos-who-abcs-live-special-1212410 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Norman Lear is 96? He looks the same as he did when he launched these two groundbreaking and iconic shows. While the material is still relevant, I lament that today’s generation just can’t handle language. And that’s a shame because it really gets in the way of the message. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the material is still relevant, I lament that today’s generation just can’t handle language. And that’s a shame because it really gets in the way of the message. Even back then, the language was taboo. But TV networks weren't afraid of it. That language ... and shows like All in the Family, The Jeffersons, What's Happenin' and Good Times ... they appealed to RATIONAL PEOPLE and they were educational. They creatively and, with humor, helped people understand that although cultures may be different, people can still be equally good people. Norman Lear is a genius and his heart and brain have always been in the right place. To your point ... it is a Goddamn shame that our society can no longer appreciate, or enjoy, this form of art as a teaching mechanism. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 I watched about the first 15 minutes of the All in the Family episode. I didn't realize they were going to be re-creating an actual episode/sticking to script. I thought that was cool. Harrelson and Tomei were good Archie/Edith, I thought. Meathead was good and Gloria was SMOKING HOT. The Mets game was a good one, so I just stuck it back on SNY and kept it there. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the special, but I already think it is definitely something that should only be done once in a while.

Ned Flanders Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 The All in the Family episode was terrible...had to leave 10 minutes in it was so bad. Harrleson's acting seemed forced. Jeffersons was tolerable, Foxx saved that episode. How about Norman Lear at 96? And flying over 50 combat missions during WWII? For that sir, I tip my porkpie hat to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a quick google search, it looks like the Mets were talked about quite a bit during All in the Family and Archie Bunker's place. Meathead, Arch and George Jefferson were all Mets fans.
