GETTV is adding All in the Family, Good Times and Sanford & Son in January. They'll be off Antenna TV come January so it seemed likely they would move somewhere else. I figured METV but METV just released their January lineup and not much is changing. Diff'rent Strokes has been added. I Love Lucy is off.

Yeah, Marcel is playing Valerie. It was a scene-by-scene recreation of the original show's Season 2 opening. Check out this interview from CBS This Morning with Rita Moreno. I think it's from January of this year. I stumbled on it while watching some clips on YouTube. Rita is hilarious and wonderful like I expected but go to the end of the video and watch Charlie Rose get a Marilyn Monroe-esque number from Rita as Lydia, and then hear Gayle and Norah joke about where Charlie puts his hands, or something along those lines. It's really creepy knowing what we know now. But seeing all these old things from Matt Lauer and now Rose, and others, it was there the whole time, staring at us right in the face.

+1 I'm glad it's coming back next month. I was beginning to wonder when we'd get a date, it was starting to feel like forever, especially with them having finished taping Season 2 over the summer.

That recreation was well done and cute. I liked it.

Glad we'll see them both again! 9 episodes feels so limiting but maybe it will be a tight 9 episodes so maybe it's for the best. I think 12/13 would have been good. Any is better than none though!

LOVE Hazel

I'd love to thank whoever decided Logo needs to air classic sitcoms. Looks like 'The Ropers' will be airing tomorrow night (either Midnight or 12:30am) after Three's Company! I know Antenna airs it but this is neat. Kudos to whoever is doing the Logo schedule.

I liked the original premise and Monroe definitely sort of 'takes over' like Urkel did. I liked him enough at times. I didn't mind when they retooled the show but I think I sort of felt a lot of lost potential for the original premise. The actresses playing Jackie and Sara were quite good but I don't think they were ever given enough, especially when Monroe began dominating. I know 227 is on the January schedule for Antenna TV (it will air weekdays at 3:00PM after Head of the Class and leads into What's Happening!! at 3:30). I forgot it had been on there. I mentioned it coming to OWN because it's nice to see a cable network pick it up again. It will also be nice to see Gimme a Break! I would have paired GaB with 227 but oh well, I think they tried the best they could to mix the 70s and 80s/90s shows but I think Antenna's lineup needs some help ... lol but it's nice to get some significant changes.

Late to the discussion but I feel mixed on Nicollette Sheridan. I've always liked her and she really stole every scene she had in Desperate Housewives (hated how they treated her) so I may have to tune in again to see her. I only watched the first three episodes and sort of let the other ones sit on the DVR. I don't dislike the show, it needs work, it's not great but I'm not ready to totally write it off I guess. They aren't doing everything I'd like (wasting the Revenge hunk on just one episode - as far as I know he's still dead, right? - and not sure how much they've used the talented Brianna Brown since as I haven't watched the last several episodes) but I don't really hate the idea of different takes on the original characters. I think the problem is that it's a CW show so the writing will always be shallow, but the glossy feel works, and some of the cast works, not all of it though (the Cristal actress hasn't done anything to wow me or make me care about her character). I feel Monica and Jeff were cast as afterthoughts. Monica could be a nobody extra (at least through the first three episodes, remember I haven't seen anymore episodes yet). I didn't think Jeff and Fallon had any chemistry but she does with Michael. I don't really like the actor playing "Sam" and I didn't on Empire either. I think for the character they want Sam to be he fits just fine but I'm just not crazy about him. Anyway, rambling ... but Sheridan wasn't even on my radar so that was an interesting choice. Not exactly who I'd have thought to cast, but I think I could enjoy it. I'm happy for her as I think she deserves to be starring in a lead role (especially after how she was treated on Housewives), and I think she excels at the type of character Alexis will be so I have no doubts she'll bring some buzz to the show and hopefully steal every scene she's in and get some well deserved attention for it. But this isn't Joan Collins coming to original flavor Dynasty or Heather Locklear coming to Melrose Place. But Sheridan's casting sure won't hurt IMO.

I figured I'd start a new thread for this. I noticed 227 is coming to OWN today. Instead of an individual show thread, or the Logo/Antenna TV/Me-TV catch-all I figured this could be the go to. Not expecting a ton of discussion but oh well, here it is. Anyway, nice to see 227. I'm guessing because Jackee is starring in the House of Payne spin-off ... it's on on-demand for me but it's always nice to see it rerun. I know Centric (now BET Her) or TV One aired it for a while I think. Also Too Close For Comfort has started airing on Logo. I'd seen a lot of it when Antenna TV aired it a couple of years ago, but still nice to see as it felt long forgotten until Antenna picked it up. It's the perfect companion to Three's Company. It doesn't seem to have a regular timeslot but it airs late-nights right now, and Logo runs marathons of classic shows. I swear I have Logo on almost all the time now lol.

Thanks for posting those social media pics. I share your sentiment on Michael Fishman. LOL. Really surprised but happy about Chuck. Hopefully we see Anne-Marie and Natalie West/Crystal. I got a bit tired of her but I'd also hope to see Sandra Bernhard, also Fred Willard and Martin Mull. But they have a little more than a handful of episodes so I imagine they can't bring EVERYONE back, but it'd be nice to get some cameos.

She also just tweeted that Johnny Galecki is back for at least an episode

Roseanne just tweeted that Estelle Parsons will be back. Yay!

Agreed with both of you on DJ/Matt. I mean, they're cute, but there's nothing really there.

This made me SO happy, lol. Hearing the theme music (it's the "original" without lyrics and Blues Traveler'd up, but it seems a tiny bit different to me) and man, the chicken shirt! I actually wondered about that (yes, I really did wonder about a damn chicken shirt). I wonder how big a part Lecy and Michael will play. I see a lot of Roseanne and Sara. I just want them to be likeable again. I don't want the nasty meanness that seeped into the show. I also really hope Jackie isn't Barney Fife/Gilligan again. I wish it were more episodes too but I'll take what I can. They seem to be hitting all the nostalgic revival beats, the classic set (the fireplace is different though, but similar enough), the theme song, little touches, the original cast ... But oddly I feel the most nervous about this reboot and I think Roseanne's crazy behavior on Twitter is what makes me nervous. And Roseanne writes depending on her mood and life at the moment. It seems like she's in a good and happy place.

John Brotherton's great. I'd like to see him get more recognition. It's been nice to see him do comedy on Fuller House. I'd hate to lose him but it just seems inevitable that DJ/Steve are endgame.

I feel like I have SO many lol. I'll have to do some thinking. It's one of the reasons I don't try and attach myself to any new show until I know it has a future. Anyone remember the FOX soap Get Real with pre-fame Jesse Eisenberg and Anne Hathaway, pre-NCIS Eric Christian Olsen, Debrah Farentino and Jon Tenney? SUCH a good cast. Wonder if anyone at Fox looks back on that and remembers they once had Eisenberg and Hathaway?

I saw that! Super excited for "Cool Kids". GREAT cast.

Nice to see a date I hope they wrap up the Matt/Steve/DJ triangle. They can still play it up if they paired Steve and DJ. Matt and DJ would still work together and it could lead to awkward situations. Or they can drop Brotherton. I like him but I don't think they need to drag the triangle out anymore, although I'm sure they will. We all know Steve and DJ are endgame and I think they're being wasted in this triangle at this point. Opens up different storylines re-pairing them.

I was excited until I saw it was just one more episode bringing it to 9, lol. They can't do an even 10?

Well, yeah, but I feel like it's different this go around.

I was wondering about Estelle Parsons too. Agreed on the perfect casting for Darlene's daughter. I thought the same. They did an excellent job it seems. Loved all of those photos.

Last week was a good episode. Mullally and Hayes have really been the MVPs in this revival. Sad to lose Rosario but the actress has retired, I'm glad they dealt with it instead of having her be off-screen. Also enjoyed seeing Minnie Driver as Lorraine again.
