Didn't see a thread. This thing starts in a couple minutes on ABC . I am going to tune in...anyone else?
I gotta say I did not see this coming.Woody Harrelson as Archie Bunker, Marisa Tomei as Edith Bunker, Jamie Foxx as George Jefferson...
Marisa Tomei is 6 1/2 years older than Jean Stapleton was when "All In The Family" premiered.where have the years gone that my perfect Hollywood wife in Marisa is now playing Edith Bunker :(
Yeah, that was awesome.Pretty cool that they had Marla Gibbs play Florence.
Didn't she look nice as Aunt May in the latest Spider Man iteration, though? I thought that was her, and served as a running joke.where have the years gone that my perfect Hollywood wife in Marisa is now playing Edith Bunker :(
Aunt hottie rocked...Didn't she look nice as Aunt May in the latest Spider Man iteration, though? I thought that was her, and served as a running joke.
Wanda Sykes as well.Marisa Tomei and Jamie Foxx nailed their characters.
Woody was good too.
Wow... I would not have guessed either.Marisa Tomei is 6 1/2 years older than Jean Stapleton was when "All In The Family" premiered.
(And Woody Harrelson is 10 years older than Carroll O'Connor was in 1971.)

Woody Harrelson is the same age now that Nicholas Colasanto was when Cheers made its debut.(And Woody Harrelson is 10 years older than Carroll O'Connor was in 1971.)
Not quite! Colasanto was 58 years/9 months old when he filmed the "Cheers" pilot, and Woody is 57 years/10 months old now.Woody Harrelson is the same age now that Nicholas Colasanto was when Cheers made its debut.(And Woody Harrelson is 10 years older than Carroll O'Connor was in 1971.)
This is nitpicking, I know, because he did a great job, but he was too tall!Marisa Tomei and Jamie Foxx nailed their characters.
Woody was good too.
Mind blown.Woody Harrelson is the same age now that Nicholas Colasanto was when Cheers made its debut.
I like them all but Sherman is one of a kind in that role. Jamie seemed too tall TBH but loved it.I though Jamie Foxx was the best overall by far in impersonating their characters. Woody and Tomei did very credible jobs, too, but it's virtually impossible to come close to the personas of Caroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton.
True - although Foxx captured the voice and mannerisms of his respective character much better than the others IMO.I like them all but Sherman is one of a kind in that role.
I think they just reenacted the same scripts from their debut shows. Somebody correct me if I have that wrong but I know they showed clips that were identical to what we saw last night.Only caught a little bit of the Jeffersons with Jamie Foxx and Wanda Sykes. It wasn't funny at all, imo (but they acted well...jokes just weren't there).
The Jeffersons remake was from the first episode of that show.I think they just reenacted the same scripts from their debut shows.

The suspension of disbelief was awful strong back then. I always liked how people talked behind the backs of someone a few feet away.Gotta love the contrived plot points of 1970s sitcoms.
- the Jeffersons need to borrow dozens of extra plates for a party that comprises a total of 8 people.
- Louise is friends with Diane and yet somehow has NEVER told Diane that she and her husband own a business as well as the apartment that they live in, despite the fact that Diane happens to work for their next door neighbor.
I was distracted by woody. I didn't think he was the right fit for the mannerisms of Archie.I guess I’m in the minority, but I thought all in the family was pretty weak. I especially thought Woody and Meathead did a poor job. The Jeffersons was a bit better.
