ABC’s lengthily titled ABC’s Live in Front of a Studio Audience: Norman Lear’s All In The Family And The Jeffersons was a ratings hit and won three Emmys after it aired in May. So unsurprisingly, ABC announces plans to return to that particular well, and will pull off another live version of All In The Family, along with an episode of Good Times on December 18. Given the timing, co-host Jimmy Kimmel states in the ABC press release: “Being a part of Norman Lear’s world was a career highlight; and working with great actors on these great shows was so much fun, we couldn’t resist tackling a holiday episode of All in the Family and one of my favorites, Good Times.”
