- Who will play Mike and Gloria? Didn't see them listed -- nm - Amoxy May 16, 12:11 7
  - I thought I saw that Ike Barinholtz was Meathead. That may not be correct though, can’t remember when/where I saw it. -- nm - kelly May 16, 14:41
  - they listed a bunch of others. I figure Will Ferrell will be Honky on the Jeffersons (which would be great casting really) - Beaker May 16, 12:13 2
    - oh yeah - nevermind what I said. This is probably correct -- nm - John Murphy May 16, 12:14 1
      - or maybe Harry Bentley the upstairs gay? neighbour (I had to look him up too :)...although that one might turn out to be Sean Hayes....) -- nm - Beaker May 16, 12:16

  - Archie was a caricature -- nm - Remlik May 16, 12:01
  - If I had not see a Woody movie in a decade or so, I might agree with you. -- nm - Spawn May 16, 11:54

    - they're doing old scripts. -- nm - Remlik May 16, 12:00 1
      - I still think it could conceptually work since his point of view would mesh with current Trump fans. -- nm - pmb May 16, 12:25
