RIP: Norman Lear, a true television great
Dec. 6th, 2023 08:40 amLear was 101. He was known for creating such transformative television as All In The Family, Sanford and Son, Maude, The Jeffersons, and Good Times. And get this - he consulted on a few episodes of SOUTH PARK! I'd kind of like to identify those and see them! President Bill Clinton awarded him the National Medal of Arts.
He brought up issues of the day that no other TV show would touch: breast cancer, inter-racial tensions, sexual liberation, etc. And I think television needed it.
He truly changed the face of television in America, and perhaps inspired the world.
