“I LOVED this episode of the u0026quot;Liveu0026quot; series and I hope they come back and give us Maude and Sanford and Sons.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCan I just say how amazing Norman Lear looks and how incredibly funny and brilliant he is?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThoughts on FOL:nI 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 didnu0026#39;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 didnu0026#39;t fit the role well as Blair IMO and instead took away from the flow. She literally played u0026quot;Rachelu0026quot; from Friends.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThoughts on DS:nI loved everything about this one except that Kimberly wasnu0026#39;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. Iu0026#39;d watch another episode of this if they ever decided to do it again. Bring back Dudley next time.”
