RIP Norman Lear

[Bill Skinner]

He will forever be remembered as the groundbreaking writer, producer and creator of memorable 70s sitcoms, which started with All in the Family, and then eventually grew into several series like The Jeffersons, Maude, Good Times, Sanford & Son, One Day at a Time and others. Mr. Lear was 101 years old when he passed away at his Los Angeles home last night, but his many great works will continue to transcend generations for years to come. The full article is here:

Norman Lear will always be a great creator of 6 series. My favorite word be All in the Family.

Indeed All in the Family which helped to spin off Maude and The Jeffersons.

Maude spun off Good Times.

Norman Lear also did Sanford & Son, 704 Hauser (which didn't last very long) and was most definitely a television pioneer.

Lived for over a century, rest in peace Norman.
