Norman Lear Updates "One Day at a Time" Reboot – TCA
by Lisa de Moraes
August 1, 2015


Norman Lear updated reporters this afternoon on reboot plans for his hit sitcom "One Day at a Time".

Lear was at TCA to talk about his profile on PBS’s "American Masters" franchise, in which filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady were given unprecedented access to his work and personal archives to track his turbulent childhood through his record-setting TV successes and social activism.

PBS says it will air in fall of ’16.





Asked if he was interested in, or thought he had the stamina to do another series, the 93-year-old Lear told the woefully out-of-the-know reporter, “We’re talking about doing a Latino version of One Day at a Time – not in Spanish, but in English. That could happen.”

Pressed for details about the project, first reported in January, Lear only offered that he’d like the mother to have a son and daughter in the reboot.





The original series made stars of Valerie Bertinelli and Mackenzie Phillips, playing the daughters of Bonnie Franklin. Lear also wants a grandmother in the show “so there will be three generations of women,” he said, adding, “I love the idea because I don’t see enough of that on the air any place… and I think it’s a rich idea.”

“It is a possibility and in a couple weeks I will let you know if it’s happening,” he said. Asked if he had a cast in mind, he responded, “Yes, but I’m not going to share.”

I don't think it would work today.

"I just love the idea because I don’t see enough of that representation on the air,” the 93-year-old Lear said at the TV press tour. "I don’t see it any place. There isn't enough of it and I think it's a rich idea."

They did that. It was called Cristela. I liked it but it was cancelled after only a few episodes.

"One Day at a Time" Reboot Ordered at Netflix, Norman Lear on Board as EP
by Michael Ausiello
January 11, 2016


This is it. Hold on tight. Up on your feet. "One Day at a Time" is back.

Netflix has ordered a 13-episode multi-cam reboot of the classic Norman Lear sitcom, this one centered on a Cuban-American family.





Lear is on board as an exec producer of the series, which centers on a recently separated, former military mom (aka the character originated by the late Bonnie Franklin role) navigating a new single life while raising her radical teenaged daughter and socially adept tween son, with the “help” of her old school Cuban-born mom and a friends- without-benefits building manager named — wait for it — Schneider (played in the original by the recently deceased Pat Harrington).

According to Deadline, Rita Moreno has signed on to play the grandmother. Additional casting is TBA.





Mike Royce (Everybody Loves Raymond, Enlisted) and Gloria Calderon Kellett (How I Met Your Mother, Rules of Engagement) are on board as writers and will serve as EPs alongside Lear, Michael Garcia and Brent Miller.

"One Day at a Time" debuted on CBS on Dec. 16, 1975, and ran for nine seasons (until its series finale on May, 28, 1984). It also starred Mackenzie Phillips and Valerie Bertinelli.

I could only be interested in a Full House type revival i.e. a reunion of Julie and Barbara. A show in name only doesn't do it for me. Pass.

"One Day at a Time": Justina Machado Starring in Netflix Reboot
by Andy Swift
February 22, 2016


Meet the new Bonnie Franklin! Netflix’s Latino reboot of the classic sitcom "One Day at a Time" has tapped Justina Machado (ER, Private Practice) to star as single-mom Penelope, a 2016 version of Franklin’s character from the original series, our sister site Deadline reports.

Penelope is described as a “recently separated former military mom” who is struggling to raise her outspoken daughter and “socially adept” son while also running a doctor’s office.

Penelope gets some “help” from her Cuban-born mother (Rita Moreno) and her very friendly building manager, Schneider.

No thanks. I'll stick with the original.

That looks awful.

I'm just hoping that the original series will be completed on DVD soon. I hope this gets canceled quickly.

The more successful the reboot is, the better awareness there will be of the original series.

What Similarities did that show have to Onr Day at a Time??

That looks awful.

The acting seems terrible.

I just hope it has the original theme music, and not any of the music I heard in the background on that trailer. If it has the original theme, that will definitely make it worth watching. Much better than the credit crunched version on Antenna TV.

Elaborate please.

How does Netflix running the credits of an entirely different show full screen, even with the original theme, make that show better than the original?

I don't mean that the new show itself is better than the original. I just mean I would prefer to watch the new version on Netflix with no credit crunch and full theme as opposed to the original with a credit crunch on Antenna TV or anything on Antenna TV in general. It would certainly be great if the original series showed up on Netflix as well.

This show has good intentions but in order for something like this to succeed it has to have more familiar reference points to the original show.

They should have just have had a reboot with Val and Mack as they are right now with their various husbands and children and grandchildren and careers.

I would hope they could work Lembeck and Gaines into the mix too. :happyface

This show seems fun but it's not a reboot. It's a new boot. :)

Exactly. And of all the Lear sitcoms, why pick this one to reboot or revive or newboot or whatever? There are other more popular sitcoms of his they could have revived like All in the Family or The Jeffersons. Idk. Not making a huge deal out of this, but I don't think it'll be a good show. Just my two cents.

I posted this same thought on the "ODaaT on DVD" thread. Only reply I got to it was "ODaaT was filmed in SD, not HD", and "VOD shows are always filmed in HD". I thought that reply sounded stupid.

BTW, I posted on that thread because there was no thread focusing on the ODaaT Netflix reboot even though the reboot had already been announced by that point.

That looks awful.

It really does.

I'm not saying that all of the "classic" comedies were totally realistic (they weren't) but why is it that so few situation comedies today feature characters who act and speak in a real way?

Everything is so over the top and jingoistic; I seriously think that part of the reason the older sitcoms work so much better is that their writers influenced by their own lives; modern writers merely seem to be influenced by having watched tons of other sitcoms.

Thanks for calling me stupid. :rolleyes:

I highly doubt it for a couple of reasons: ODAAT is not Netflix quality. All of the "older" shows they have on Netflix, for example Andy Griffith or The Twilight Zone, have been recently digitally remastered. And since ODAAT will likely never get that treatment, it'll probably be only on DVD. Same reason Fuller House is on Netflix but Full House isn't. Netflix wants HD quality, at least to my knowledge.

Being a single mother is more of the norm and often a choice now, so I don't think this reboot is going to make much of a splash. Fuller House could be considered a single mom show.

Yeah totally .I don't see where a TV show about a single or divorced mom would be a big deal now being it is so common these days! ;) :confused:

That would be great! :) I'd love that! ;) :wave:

Looks like they changed all the names but Schneider and Alex.

With Cuban heels?

I won't be watching because:

A) we don't subscribe to Netflix

B) the one reason One Day at a Time has always been my favorite show is not involved in this version

Its kind of an insult to the fans that they have thrown aside any connection to the original.

Norman Lear, WHAT were you thinking? This isn't Lassie. You can't just change families and think we won't notice. :crazy:

Just my two cents.

Fuller House succeeds because it knows it's audience, knows it's history and knows how to recreate what we tuned in for in the first place.

This looks like a pretty good show potentially. The lead actress and Rita Moreno are very appealing. We need more diversity on TV. Why dress it up as something it's not? :confused: It can stand on its own.

Mackenzie Phillips is heading for the reboot:

I wonder if Valerie Bertinelli and the rest will come on board?

But I think this is a step in the right direction.

They could have tied it all together by having Mack just reprise her role as Julie now working as a counselor like she does in real life.

Actually it is YOU that you are stupid, to insult other people posts. You should log out and never come back

^I think that poster is weird. They flip out at people for replying to his/her OWN THREADS and says that said poster is "stalking" them and "forcing them to flip out." It's like, what??? Nobody even attacks them, they just choose to totally flip out and act like it's the other poster's fault. I guess I don't see why. I've tried to be nice to them, and all the poster does is plagarize Wikipedia.

Report James28 if it happens. I'm sorry if I came off line but James28 has no right to say you are stupid, or telling you stop bullying James28. Your posts are nice and fair. James28 really needs to learn to mind his own business.

Otherwise if it doesn't work, maybe ignore him

I don't want to take this thread off-topic, but I'm only going to say this once. I did NOT call Svenfan1234 (as a person) stupid. I just said his opinion on the "ODaaT has to be restored for HD" was stupid, and I am sorry for that. I think our strife was stemming from the "Get a grip on the OCD" posts Svenfan was making on the DVD forum, which I was angered and hurt by. Plus, don't other SitcomsOnline users "plagiarize" Wikipedia", too?

Sorry if I'm not wording correctly or if I have emotion issues. I have a learning disability and still in college! I was saying that because I thought you seem rude. You should need to learn to be nice to others. If I'm upsetting you I didn't mean to. Just trying to get facts straight. Please be more understanding. I don't know about plagiarizing wikipedia though..

I've read 2 positive reviews of this show from top critics.

1 (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/one-day-at-a-time-review-960493) 2 (http://variety.com/2017/tv/reviews/review-one-day-at-a-time-netflix-reboot-norman-lear-1201947778/)

Thought the trailer was just awful but now I'm looking forward to it.

I tried to give the reboot a chance but it's horrible. It doesn't hold a candle to the original.

Are there references or call outs to the original show, cast, etc.? Or is it a straight up reboot?

I agree; the trailer did NOTHING for me.
