“The Jeffersons” is one of the best TV show ever produced in the history.
Norman Lear made his debut in 1971 with sitcom’s “All in the Family”. The story of the series revolves around the character of “Archie Bunker” which is still considered as one of the greatest characters of the TV series.
And the series is one of the most popular TV series of all time. Other than these shows, there are many famous shows in the catalog of Lear including “Good Times”, and “Sanford and Son”. Now Sony Pictures TV also has a chance to reboot two of the most beloved TV series of all time – “The Jeffersons” and “All in the Family”. The fame of these two shows can be estimated with the fact that any reboot of these two may create a major backlash.
Rebooting the classic shows of Lear in modern industry would be a great exercise. After the success of “One Day at a Time” reboot, there are chances that Sony Pictures TV will also make an attempt to revitalize Norman’s two classic TV shows – “The Jefferson” and “All in the Family.”
