Jamie Foxx did an outstanding job of playing George. Close your eyes and you'd swear it was Sherman Hensley. Marissa was very good as edith, although it was overacted. Wanda Sykes was absolutely horrible as Louise. She played Wanda Sykes... Like she does in every single thing she's been in. She didn't even try to embody the part of Louise. Woody Harrelson got the accent down okay. But other than that, it was a poor job. No one can play Archie but O'Connor. One thing is for sure, no way Lear would have done a show where the liberal was portrayed as an embecile. It shows just what Hollywood thinks of conservatives that he painted bunker as the "typical" white conservative. The same way he paints George as a black conservative, but also an embecile. Nevertheless, the shows were genius and funny. Wish they had added in good times. That show was 2nd to only All in thr Family.
