But apparently they’re serious.

" Airing Wednesday, May 22 at 8/7c, the 90-minute live event stars Woody Harrelson and Marisa Tomei as All in the Family ‘s Archie and Edith Bunker (originally played by Carroll O’Connor and Jean Stapleton), along with Ellie Kemper as Gloria Stivic (originally played by Sally Struthers).

The Jeffersons ‘ portion of the special features Jamie Foxx and Wanda Sykes as George and Louise Jefferson (originally played by Sherman Hemsley and Isabel Sanford), plus Will Ferrell as Tom Willis (originally played by Franklin Cover) and Justina Machado as Florence Johnston (originally played by Marla Gibbs)."

I don’t see how this will work, but I’m willing to keep an open mind.

I was in my 20’s when the original was on.

Didn’t Harrelson already do a sort of sitcom spoof in Natural Born Killers?

6

Well…this’ll be weird.

I’ll set my VCR for that one!

Wait, why is it blinking twelve?
