      Emily St. James Vox This special might have grown out of nostalgia, or Jimmy Kimmel's ego, or a genuine desire to fete [Norman] Lear while he's still alive. But there's a comfort in ritual, in recreating the same basic ceremony over and over again. May 29, 2019 Full Review Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone There was enough of interest last night to be worth trying again, whether with more Lear shows or another classic. Hopefully, though, the next attempt will try to be its own thing rather than just a lovingly slavish recreation. May 28, 2019 Full Review Eric Deggans NPR So even while I was impressed by the scope of ABC's revival, I was also a bit disappointed. Is the future of network television really going to be so focused on re-creating its past? Still, there were amazing moments. May 24, 2019 Full Review Neal Pollack Book & Film Globe It was fine, a kind of lukewarm TV bath. Jan 30, 2020 Full Review Gena Radcliffe The Spool [I]t comes off more like you're overhearing something you shouldn't at a cocktail party. Jan 18, 2020 Full Review Joel Keller Decider ...in our very divided political and social environment, the messages both these episodes imparted are relevant.
