Friday Night

The other night, ABC ran live redos (I guess you'd call them) of All in the Family and The Jeffersons with mostly new casts. Folks are writing to ask what I thought of them…and what I thought is that I didn't see them and should have set my DVR. But I get a redo because ABC is rerunning them tomorrow night and I'm set to get them this time.

Unlike some folks who seem to be around my age, I don't hate the whole concept of this and I sure won't judge the shows by whether these actors duplicate or make me forget the original actors. I will be interested in how the scripts they selected stand up. I loved All in the Family when it aired but was never able to get into the reruns. For me, it went from being set very much in the present to being set a long, long time ago.
