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
- Well, Will Farrell's in the cast. Sounds like Meathead to me -- nm - John Murphy May 16, 12:12 2
  - heh. too old for Meathead :) -- nm - Beaker May 16, 12:14 1
    - Not if he dons the hair. -- nm - Spawn May 16, 13:25
Have seen the promo for this and I'll be watching. -- nm - zunk xometimes May 16, 11:57
I don't see Woody as Archie, feels like a caricature. For some reason Marisa totally works for me though. -- nm - ty97 May 16, 11:51 2
- 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
i don't feel that if you are true to the character that it plays AT ALL today, but if you change it all to be more 2019, it is a different thing. -- nm - Andie May 16, 11:50 8
- All in the Family could play perfectly with Archie as Trump fan. -- nm - pmb May 16, 11:52 6
  - Roasnne would make a great Archie. -- nm - Spawn May 16, 12:03 3
    - if she was in her right mind I'd agree. -- nm - Remlik May 16, 12:06
    - she's more toxic than a fukushima fish market -- nm - zeitgeist May 16, 12:05 1
      - I ain't no bigot. I'm the first guy to say, 'It ain't your fault that youse are colored. -- nm - Spawn May 16, 12:29
  - 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
- I think a lot will depend on the episodes they choose. Given the environment today they could likely pick one from each that would play well - Beaker May 16, 11:52
shows to be done as part of a live special -- nm - Beaker May 16, 11:40 1
- Norman Lear overseeing so that gives me hope... -- nm - Beaker May 16, 11:41
No. -- nm - Reagen May 16, 11:39
