Classical films have recently been scheduled for an update catering to the modern audience like Splash and Cooley High. Some TV executives are also considering bringing back some of the most iconic series.
Norman Lear, the man behind many television shows like All in the Family and The Jeffersons, hopes to bring these back to the small screen according to Variety.
“There is some talk about doing some of the original shows, redoing them with today’s stars,” Lear said.
Sony’s executive vice president of comedy development, Glenn Adilman, told Variety that they are exploring this old school project. He believes it will be tricky figuring out how this would work but its something of interest.
Most of Lear’s catalog is owned by Sony including Sanford and Son. If these show return they might be released in a limited run miniseries.

They can leave that alone too -
I can see the Jeffersons being attractive in today's climate with the diversity and the lead black couple actually doing well for themselves....but nah. Leave it alone.
And I can't watch good times anymore as an adult lol so I really don't care what they do with it. But I also err on the side of leaving it the ? alone. -

hollywood would rather rehash these shows instead of marketing and producing quality new black television ..

I was hoping one of these studios would bring back Chico and The Man:
