I'd like to get a clip of Henry (Marvin Kaplan) for the Archives one of these days.<br /><br />There were many Sunday nights where my dad had gone to bed early, so Mom & I would be watching Alice, Jeffersons, etc..

I thought it the height of irony that Diane Ladd was brought in to replace Polly Holliday! <br /><br />It was also fun to see the rest of the gang - Henry, Earl, Tommy, and of course, Mel. He was born for this role!<br /><br />I agree that the show would be a good fit for either ME-TV. Although I noticed WGN America is trotting out some 70s treadures (All In The Family and Barney Miller) and Rural TV has been running some sitcoms too (a Monkees block on Saturday mornings, followed by I dream of Jeannie & Bewitched - very much like Nick @Nite used to be!) so it depends who has the rights and the will. magicdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755186050643383954noreply@blogger.com
