May 28, 2019This was horrible! Called characters acting stunk! And the entire premise of creating more and more division amongst, race, sexism and just awful! Nothing but laugh-track laughter. Why? I am saddened by the network even putting it on TV, it was sad.

Harrelson's work, and perhaps the entire All in the Family episode, peaked with a marvelously off-key rendition of the theme song. ... The pacing of the Jeffersons episode was far better than that of All in the Family, or maybe it's just that I appreciated how well Foxx and Sykes were working off each other. Throw in format legends like Jackée Harry and the great Marla Gibbs, and this became a multicam master class.

A lot of the actors (including three of the four leads) were working hard to evoke the original casts. Between that and the overly enthusiastic studio audience (who not only cheered the entrances of most of the actors, but sometimes cheered when they reappeared later), the whole thing was too karaoke. It was entertaining — Tomei’s delivery of the line about how George’s brother Henry (Anthony Anderson) would be happy to say goodbye to Archie made me laugh as hard as Stapleton’s version back in the day — but hollow.

These episodes held up well, and it was enjoyable to see them this way. But it would’ve been just as enjoyable for ABC to turn over an hour of primetime to airing the originals (even though both were CBS shows).
