Don't know what she looks like in a bikini now, however.

Norman Lear continues to defy convention about career longevity and age. The TV icon, who today celebrates his 96th birthday, and his Act III production company have signed a two-year first look deal with Sony Pictures TV. The pact includes the option to re-imagine titles from Lear’s extensive library including All In The Family, The Jeffersons, Good Times, Maude and Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, among others.
“I couldn’t be prouder and more excited about joining Sony Pictures Television, who has the guts to go with a kid,” Lear quipped.
Sony Pictures TV, which owns the Norman Lear library, has been his partner for the past few years. The studio produces the reboot of Lear’s classic series One Day At A Time on Netflix. Executive produced by Lear, the comedy is currently filming its third season. And it was Sony TV that last year took in Lear’s passion project, Guess Who Died, a retirement home comedy script he had unsuccessfully tried to sell for more than seven years. Partnering him with Peter Tolan, the studio sold the project to NBC where it went to pilot. When the pilot did not make the cut to series, the studio tried actively to find another home for it.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to be expanding our relationship with Brent and Norman. Norman is an icon in our industry and it’s a dream come true to be working with him. We’re excited to create more magic with Norman and Brent,” said SPT President Jeff Frost and Co-Presidents, Chris Parnell and Jason Clodfelter.
One Day At A Time was inspired by Lear’s series of the same name which aired on CBS from 1975-1984. Developed and executive produced by Gloria Calderon Kellet and Mike Royce, the reboot is praised for tackling important issues. It follows the life of Penelope (Justina Machado), a newly single Army veteran, and her Cuban-American family, as they navigate the ups and downs of life.
Over Lear’s vast career, the World War II veteran and Kennedy Center honoree has won four Emmy Awards and two Peabody Awards. As the founder of People For the American Way, he has been recognized for his passion in politics and has been a force behind social change, climate change, women’s rights and overall humanitarian efforts.
Now that’s what I’m talking about.
There’s only one Archie Bunker.
Help! The left is falling and can’t get up!
Quick, call in some old timey leftist creators for tv shows and produce some left wing propaganda. The people, they’re getting too much real info.
NEW SHOWS !!!
All in the rehab! The Mohammadan’s. Hood Times. Bawdy Maude.
My first crush... man, she still makes my heart flutter!
She worked damned hard getting back into
a bikini in her 50’s!
She's still pretty cute.
Don't know what she looks like in a bikini now, however.
...and “One Day at a Time,” would now probably be “One GAY at a Time.”
Way liberal shows at the time.
She’s on “The Kids’ Baking Championships” now.
LOL. They would totally make those shows.
When you think about how popular these shows were back in the day I shutter to think just how much FREEDOM of speech we have lost in this country!!! These shows were hysterical I mean REALLY FUNNY!!! I think of these shows hitting the airwaves today and liberal heads EXPLODING everywhere DEMANDING apologies for the content, George Jefferson was a hoot and Archie was VERY outspoken about EVERY person that wasn’t a white man also had a few choice names for Jews!!! It is such a shame we can laugh at ourselves the way we used to!!!!
And she still married the fat dorky old white guy
How are they gonna remake Maude..Bea Arthur is dead..heck the entire cast other than the daughter is dead I believe..now having Good Times back on the air..all I gotta say is DYNAMITE!!
And also remember with Good Times they REFUSED to go on welfare
That’s right.
Plus Cabrini Green has been demolished so I don’t know where they’re supposed to live in the new series.
Oh good grief!!!!!!!!! CAN’T THEY COME UP WITH ANYTHING NEW ANYMORE? I quit watching all sitcoms. Gays, politics horrible.
