Did you watch Norman Lear special, "All in the Family," "The Jeffersons"?

Did anyone watch last night when ABC broadcast a live version of ‘All In The Family’ & ‘The Jeffersons’?

I’m a big fan of Woody Harrelson, who played Archie Bunker, but I think he failed at the job of portraying Archie.
Ike Barinholtz, who played Michael aka ‘Meathead’, in my opinion didn’t get it right. The ‘real’ Meathead was angrier.
Marisa Tomei, as Edith Bunker, was OK. Just OK, but the best of the cast in my humble opinion.

They took the script from an original show and did it without changing anything (as I heard somewhere). It must have been one of the most racist and bigoted shows in the whole series. I know Archie was a bigot, but I thought this went way too far and was totally inappropriate for 2019. There were funnier shows in the series they could have used which would gave also shown Archie’s prejudice.

I didn’t watch ‘The Jeffersons’ section of last night’s show because I didn’t follow it as a series.

In my humble opinion, I thought it was pretty disappointing.
