Did any of you see the preformed in front of a live audience Facts of Life and Different Strokes on Tuesday night? They must have worn their laugh track out on this stupidity. Either that or the audience was laughing at how stupid this was. I watched a while back when they did All In a Family and the Jeffersons, and it was not terrible, but this was tonight. I used to watch Facts of Life and The jeffersons all the time when it first aired with the original actors, and I loved it back then. I do not have any idea what they were thinking casting adults in roles that were originally played by teens and preteens. I did not make it even half way through their version of Different Strokes. The casting was the worst I ever saw ! Mr Druman adopts 2 GROWN MEN in this version tonight. It was totally unrealistic and incongruous. If they had cast actors of the correct age ranges for the parts maybe JUST MAYBE they would have had something worth watching.
I mean really are some of the adult actors having enough trouble finding parts that they would actually think they could pull off playing children? If you are going to do something, One should try to do it correctly. I have spoken out before about the wrong types being cast for roles, roles that were written for a totally different type of person. This is far worse. To cast grown adults in the roles written for children make me want to gag. I know there are many talented children that could have played the roles well ( UNLESS DISNEY ALREADY HIRED ALL THE GOOD ONES LOL) The ironic thing is I was looking forward to tonight's show when they first announced it. I ended up turning the station before it was over. So did any of you see this event? And was it just me or was it really as stupid as I thought?
