I'll echo RetroGuy and say, yep, if it's season 1, I'm all for it. But if it's beyond that, no. But judging that they're veering off a little bit and having middle-aged women play teenagers, I wouldn't be surprised if they don't keep true to the show and have Tootie on roller skates for comedic effect, whether it makes sense or not.

Lisa donning the Eastland uniform was amazing. She looked awesome. I just wish they had gotten the tie color correct. Blue tie with the maroon vest, people! The maroon tie only goes with the blue sweater or blue blazer!

Well, for those who saw Lisa on the recent Live in Front of a Studio Audience special on ABC, she wore the correct tie color:

Indeed, she got the right color tie this time. Bravo, Lisa, and thank you!

She sang the theme song quite beautifully.

I also love how Kim called Norman Lear "Uncle Norman".
