No, the smart thing they did is to have Ricardo to grab the really old adults who watched him in the 50s (and those of us slightly younger watching him on Fantasy Island), Sylvester Stallone for those of us who grew up on Rocky and/or Rambo, Cheech Marin for those of us who think Cheech & Chong is THE coolest comedy act since the original cast of SNL's Not Ready for Prime Time Players, and George Clooney for those of us who are approximately his age who would marry him the minute he gets an annulment. Right off the bat, you have the viewing public that is in their 30's through 70s.
Add 30-something actors to play the parents, add teens to play the kids and you've got generations of viewing public watching it together. That is very rare.
