Slightly irrelevant, but here is the theme song to the new ODAAT, which as far as I'm concerned is in the god tier of television theme songs:

TV Nostalgia and ABC
This spring, ABC premiered a remake of All in the Family and The Jeffersons called Live in Front of a Studio Audience, which (as you may have guessed) aired live. ABC has leaned pretty heavily into nostalgia programming since Trump's election (def trying to say this is correlated rather than causal), and I am curious about how remaking two of Lear's classics fits into this. While many people understood the reboot of Roseanne to be a clear ploy for more conservative audiences (despite the politics of the original series), this sitcom special seems positioned to attract a different configuration of viewers. Then last month, ABC did it again this time pairing All In the Family with Good Times. I am curious about what folks think of this turn to special event nostalgia television. I am also interested in the rationale for something like the Roseanne reboot and how it differs in important ways from the reboot of One Day At A Time.
