The 'All in the Family' episode featured draft dodger David (Jesse Eisenberg) and the father of a soldier killed in Vietnam (Kevin Bacon), along with the returns of Archie Bunker (Woody Harrelson) and Edith Bunker (Marisa Tomei).
The live nature of the ABC broadcast, an exciting TV prospect because of its risk, briefly flirted with disaster Wednesday when real-life drama via network coverage of the House of Representatives' vote on the impeachment of President Donald Trump threatened to delay the start of the"Studio Audience" broadcast on the East Coast.Kimmel, who again hosted with Lear, advised the audience of that possibility in an understated way.
The"Family" episode,"The Draft Dodger" from 1976, had the explicit holiday connection, a Bunker family Christmas dinner with explosive possibility. It was the superior presentation of the pairing. That may partly be due to experience, as"Family" and its core cast had a test run inbut it also results from a stronger story focusing on powder-keg issues of patriotism, war and family loss.
Eisenberg and Bacon gave great power and feeling to a clash orchestrated by Archie, who wanted to throw the disloyal draft dodger out of the house. But Bacon, playing the still suffering Pinky, ultimately just wanted to have his son back and expressed happiness that David was still alive. "Good Times" featured the evening's big and welcome surprise, an unannounced appearance by John Amos, who played James Evans in the original series. But Amos, a talented and underappreciated actor, was playing a machine-politics alderman, not James, and too much of the episode focused on his character instead of a dy-no-mite cast that included Andre Braugher as James; Viola Davis as his wife, Florida, and Tiffany Haddish as feisty neighbor and friend Willona.
