I remember seeing the pilot on TV and was very excited about it. They pushed the racial issue while tastefully done as a reminder of what, sadly times were like when the show was set, but they just pushed to hard too soon in what could have been a series. Viewers were still very sensitive when this came out.

I feel, had the issue not been brought up and/or handled the way it was in the pilot, it might have done better. While All in the Family certainly pushed the limits. Things are different from the 70's as there were in the 90's. I give them an E for effort on trying to convert this from play to movie to TV script as a weekly.

Great casting, but the laugh track should not have been.
