i said holy moly, that s the way i grew up and i knew i had a show. take one! they shot the pilot at abc. featured carol o connor and gene stapleton as archie bunker. we don t see any evidence. that s right, daddy. i know we had a couple pink coats in the house but i didn t know we had a pair of athiests. it was not well received by abc. they watched it and felt there wasn t the chemistry there. we make it again with two different young people. we don t see any evidence of god, that s all. that s right, daddy. i knew we had some the network freaks out about whether people will be able to watch this show that has, like, real issues. everybody is nervous and there are people saying they re going to kill you. they re going to shoot you dead in the streets.
this about this. laura: where is the screen actors guild? where does shia labeouf go? you want him to be the next? there s only one case where i might make an argument for resurrecting. that would be the jimmy kimmel norman lear all in the family christmas special that was announced by abc this week, it would be great to see carol o connor and jean stapleton back in the roles that make them famous. songs that made the hit parade guys like us we had it made those were the days laura: first of all that thing won all kinds of enemies.
