Norman Lear, creator of All in the Family dead at 101...

Can't say his life was cut short 😀 did u like Archie Bunker ? What about some other ones he created?

He created some wonderful shows while breaking new ground in TV subject matter. The thing about Archie Bunker was that, deep down inside he wasn't a bad person, just ignorant -- and as the years went on he became less and less of a bigot.

All in the Family was a funny show. One of the few sitcoms I can remember where our whole family watched and laughed.

@BizSuitStacy I remember when Archie's friends got him a jockey statue for his birthday. While horrified someone asked him if he'd put it in front of the house. [b]Archie "Hell no! Half of Harlem will think we're renting rooms!"[/b]

@Slade I remember that one.

I did like All in the Family - It was a pretty good expose' of what people are thinking and how it's possible for people that don't agree to cohabitate and even have mild affection for each other.

@fun4us2b yeah, Archie loved Meathead
