He made Good Times too. The guy that made the Good Times thread is probably beside himself.

Ehh, not entirely true. All in the Family was based off of a British show called Til Death Us Do Part.
Still a great show and character.
Also, look into the origin of Three’s Company.

He's now in the great deluxe apartment in the sky.

I met Carroll O’Connor in Hammond back in the late 80's when they were shooting the TV series, In The Heat of The Night. Great guy.

He made comedies when they were funny

Just saw this youtube short about Lear.
He was a WWII veteran. I didn't know that. Says he was a college freshman when Pearl Harbor was attacked - he immediately joined the military. Radio operator and gunner on bombers. Says he wrote a few episodes of South Park, basing Cartman's character on Archie Bunker.

He and John Amos butted heads constantly. It ended up with him being fired from “Good Times”. He wanted to show more positive things about black culture rather than JJ yelling dynamite every episode.

He moved on up.

Maude
The Jefferson’s
Top tier sitcoms. RIP.

Anyone else get Norman Lear, Norman Jewison, and Norman Mailer confused?

good riddance. all the sensible characters were, in his own words, the joke characters. so archie bunker was the joke character. you were supposed to laugh at him, not like him.
his influence was then found in other pop culture characters like rorschach from watchmen, william foster from falling down, and the movie starship troopers.
he literally belittled and mocked conservatives/rightists. you really shouldnt revere him.
