Live in Front of a Studio Audience: 'The Facts of Life' and 'Diff'rent Strokes'

Great remakes of timeless episodes. I enjoyed the all star cast Kevin, Jason, Snoop, Jennifer, Gabby, Ann, Allison, Kathy, Damon amd John. Next year, I would love to see Sanford & Son and What's Happening. Awesome job!!

For folks that watched these shows and remember these characters, it's entertaining to watch these current and relevant actors playing the parts. For the younger folks that know these actors but have no context to the original show, funny! Spot on!!!... Greta job.

I didn't take this as serious TV, nor should anyone. It was fun. The actors did a terrific job, and it was great entertainment. I can only speak for my house: we laughed from start to finish.

I LOVED this episode of the "Live" series and I hope they come back and give us Maude and Sanford and Sons.

Can I just say how amazing Norman Lear looks and how incredibly funny and brilliant he is?

Thoughts on FOL: I swear I was watching Mrs. Garrett on the screen. Ann Dowd had her mannerisms down to a science. Jennifer Aniston was the only person that didn't flow well with the show for me but instead was a distraction. Gabriel Union and the iconic Tootie hairstyle was everything. Jason Bateman, John Steward and Will were perfectly cast and hilarious to watch. Allison was great at playing Natalie and Kathryn was the perfect Joe. Wow!! The only person that killed it for me was Jennifer. She didn't fit the role well as Blair IMO and instead took away from the flow. She literally played "Rachel" from Friends.

Thoughts on DS: I loved everything about this one except that Kimberly wasn't there. John Lithgow is always such a pleasure to watch. He is such a versatile actor. You could tell that everyone really got into their characters and seeing John and Kevin interact was really sweet, lol. And Kevin really did embody Gary Coleman which made it that much more enjoyable and funny. I'd watch another episode of this if they ever decided to do it again. Bring back Dudley next time.

While I did miss Nancy returning with her former cast mates, what I mean is I missed Jo.. the character. I usually enjoy Hahn's roles and characters but my God did she miss play Jo. It was overacted with weird random movements and oddly loud. It was not a fit unfortunately. Nancy was to smooth at slipping her insults in as Jo, Hahn seemed to playing a starving, angry orphan child or something. It was not Jo and It was disappointing to say the least. At least Lisa was there and looked almost exactly the same. I did Appreciate them using actors who would have been around to enjoy those shoes when they were young however the characters are best left to their original actors. The sets were on point though 👌🏻
