Sally Struthers spoke out recently about Live in Front of a Studio Audience: Norman Lear's 'All in the Family' and 'The Jeffersons' (2019), starring Jamie Fox, Wanda Sykes, Woody Harrelson, and Marisa Tomei. She said she is dead set against it: ""Why? What is the point? It's a classic. All in the Family came at a moment in time that somehow turned out to be the perfect moment to put something that 'quote-unquote' radical on TV, and it was the perfect cast. We had the perfect writers." Struthers went on to say that no one was going to replicate the performances of Carroll O'Connor:""Nobody is going to be Carroll O'Connor. Nobody but nobody is going to be another Jean Stapleton, and I honestly don't see the point." She went on to insist that Norman Lear just retire: "Norman Lear is in his 90s," Struthers said. "I think he should just have fun and travel, and stop trying to make another mark on TV. He's made enough marks." Her onscreen husband, Rob Reiner, was supportive of the project however, and helped Lear chose cast members as well as episodes to showcase. Marla Gibbs, original cast member from the Jeffersons, actually made a cameo on the Jeffersons. (Gibbs is the only cast member from either Arcibaldo (1971) or The Jeffersons to come back).
