It looks like Sony and television writer/producer Norman Lear may be looking to reboot some of his classic television shows, such as ?The Jeffersons,? and ?Good Times.?

According to Variety, Sony is currently gearing up to premiere the revival of his 1980?s sitcom, ?One Day At A Time,? for Netflix. The show follows a single mother who is raising two children. The show originally aired in 1975, and ended in 1984.

Now the talks of bringing back his other classic shows have come about.

However, Lear and Sony executives would be more interested in recreating classic episodes from the shows, while working with the original scripts, and presenting them as a short six-episode series.

Lear said, ?There is some talk about doing some of the original shows, redoing them with today?s stars. There is a possibility that we?ll do ?All in the Family,? ?Maude,? ?The Jeffersons,? ?Good Times.?

 :hmph: :hmph: :hmph: :hmph: :hmph:

ive seen remakes done on snl

and it will just be a mockery of what the show used to be

if a reboot is to be done
it needs to be done as a drama series with a darker theme
half of the shit they went through was no laughing matter anyway

Now if these reboots can get close to capturing the same feel of the classics then it'll be cute. So far they've done well with Fuller House so we'll see

Actually a Cosby mess would be cute as FUCK
