Not sold on woody as Archie, but it's interesting.

The rest of the casting sounds on point.

Treating sitcom episodes like plays and having performances is a great idea.

This sounds interesting.

Do we know if they plan on updating the references? Is Archie going to be defending Nixon or will he be a Trumper?
