Live in Front of a Studio Audience: 'All in the Family' and 'Good Times'

While I didn't get to see the live airing, I was able to catch the replay on the 28th. I loved it! Having grown up watching these shows, I was excited to see them redo them. Without a doubt my favorites were Viola Davis as Florida Evans, Woody Harrelson as Archie, but Marissa Tomei was brilliant! I hope there are more live remakes like this.

The show was fun and everyone did great, BUT there is no JJ but Jummie Walker

Not comparing to the original it's a respin. Grateful for the opportunity to have been apart of this project. What an honor to witness all the great talent that was on that set.

All the actors were amazing. Where else would I've been in the same room with such talent?

I know I'm just an on set/ dresser moving furniture and keeping continuity.

But I was really In awe!!

Read over the talent list again, Stop judging nothing will be like the original Most of the original cast members were behind the scene. While the decorator (Ron Olsen) and the set dressing team dressed the set... It took me back to my childhood; memories I watched the original show as a teen Good times!

Not long after the show aired Ms. Jeannette Dubois passed (2020) Covid hit Norman Lear (2023) passed John Amos(2024) passed I was in the presence of greatness.

I grew up on Good Times and All in the Family. Still watch the reruns today. I dont ever remember J.J. acting like he was portrayed in this remake. Jay Pharaoh about made ne turn it off. Way over the top. The whole episode he had his hands in that position when J.J. would holla "Dynomite"! I don't think Jay ever watched an episode of Good Times cause if he had he wouldn't have portrayed J.J. the way he did. TRYING WAY TOO HARD!!!

I watched this last night to start with out of sheer boredom but I wound up really enjoying my time with both family's I laughed out loud numorous times the shows speeds were good and moved right along I am so happy I chose to watch this last night
