I'd go Amy Adams as Diane.   Rosie Perez as Carla is perfect.

I’d be ok with Amy Adams

I don’t want to nitpick but has Ben Afleck ever said anything funny? On purpose?

No I was hoping people would have ideas.  I went with the Boston theme and someone who could possible pull off being an ex athlete, and someone that ladies found charming, because Sam Malone was a ladies man.  I am sure there are better names out there for this list.  

 

[T.G.]

I don't think Sam Malone (the character) was all that funny... so I can see Afleck in that role and I love the Boston connection.

Your cast is about 15 years older than the original. 

[JAHV76]

I didn’t see an age requirement for the casting.

[Blarg]

It's why your show won't hit any demographics that will support even a pilot. 

That and Nazis aren't funny anymore.

Your entire cast is better off doing remakes of AARP commercials or guest roles on a Golden Girls remake.
