Yeah, but it had Adrienne Barbeau.
Might as well redo Sanford and Son.
He’d be perfect for What’s Happening.
They will ruin these shows like they ruin everything else they remake. These shows were not politically correct.
More importantly, these shows were not mean.
Any thing concocted now will not understand that concept.
I laughed when Edith talked about Archie calling the dentist the tooth “fairy”. Lol.
No argument.
Might as well redo Sanford and Son......Oh, pulllleeeeze! We just had eight years of that old schtick!.
Because rebooting old movies is working out so well, I suppose?
Gloria is a tranny and Meathead has to have breast reduction surgery for his moobs.
Those should be registered as a deadly weapon!
She was definitely one of my big schoolboy crushes.
Then meathead converts to Islam and has to repress his urges to decapitate Archie.
Proving once again that there is no originality in Hollywood.
Sanford and Son itself was a Americanized version of a British sit-com....................
In the spin-off, Mike had left Gloria to live in a commune in Oregon with some young student of his (he was a professor of something in CA), leaving Gloria and his 7-8 year old son, so they moved back to NYC. The show also starred Burgess Meredith as a curmudgeonly veterinarian for whom she worked...............
OMG I LOVED these shows, it was a time when we had humor and could laugh at ourselves!!! The PC crowd heads will explode!!! George Jefferson was a hoot but I LOVED the maid Florence she was hysterical, George called the upstairs neighbors a mixed race couple Zebras FUNNY!!!! There is NO ONE in the world that could replace Archy that WILL BE impossible!!!
I don’t think they can recreate them with the same level of comedy AND comity the had then.
A 90’S show starring Henry Winkler as a conservative talk radio host, patterned after Archie Bunker, was a flop......
For me it was Mary Ann on Gillian’s Island :)
How 2016!
‘Good Times’ and ‘The Jeffersons’ were rather conservative weren’t they? It was about family and hard work being rewarded. Norman Lear turns 95 today actually.
