00:00 Even when we thought it was done, the fans said no way.
00:03 And I mean, I think we're largely back
00:05 because of their support.
00:06 - Because of them, they are.
00:06 - So here we are, yay!
00:07 (laughing)
00:08 Yay!
00:09 (upbeat music)
00:12 - I never gave up on it.
00:15 Fox said, "We're in, we're gonna go."
00:18 And this was on like in the middle of a dinner.
00:19 I put, took off and said,
00:21 "I didn't even know how to react to that."
00:23 'Cause I didn't, I'm one of these guys,
00:25 I won't believe it 'til I see it.
00:27 - The call came out of the blue.
00:28 I didn't see it coming and I was really excited to get it
00:31 and didn't quite believe it.
00:33 But I'm very happy to be back.
00:36 - All right, here we go from the top.
00:38 (bell ringing)
00:39 Stand by, ready ladies?
00:40 - We were involved in this angst, if you will, way early,
00:44 way before it was popular.
00:45 We had a point of view on the show
00:47 and Baxter pushed that point of view, the character I play.
00:50 And I appreciated his point of view.
00:51 And the writers, eventually we embraced it.
00:55 And we had a very mixed group of people writing this show
00:58 that would make fun, I mean, the liberal side
01:01 would make fun of the liberals,
01:02 the conservatives would make fun of the conservatives,
01:03 but overall, you got people that made fun.
01:07 - You can't be Donald Trump.
01:08 - Why, because I'm black?
01:10 - No, because you're not orange.
01:12 - And people have different points of view
01:13 about a lot of different things.
01:14 And to say it's, you know, conservative versus liberal
01:19 is just so minimizing.
01:21 - Right.
01:22 - It's not, it just is, that's not a show.
01:24 That's a nothing.
01:25 So it's just much fuller, much more complex.
01:29 - It's a sitcom.
01:30 - About family.
01:31 - It's a situation comedy.
01:32 - What you been doing up there?
01:34 - Honey, you only ask questions
01:35 that you really want the answers to.
01:36 - No, but unfortunately we won't have Molly Ephraim back
01:38 who was delightful as Mandy and that's sad for us,
01:42 but she's busy and we won't be having Flynn Morrison back.
01:47 He's also not available.
01:51 And so those parts are being recast.
01:54 - These new actors will bring something else to it,
01:55 but it's still essential.
01:56 - Hopefully it'll be the stories that draw people in
01:59 and connect people and, you know,
02:02 hopefully you fall in love with whatever the family is.
