101.. That's a damn good life folks.. He made some Classics for sure. All in the Family will always be his Best
Agreed! Not unexpected, but still sad to hear, since Norman Lear & his work have been part of my life since I was a teenager at the end of the 1960s. Always thoughtful, insightful -and always funny before all else, finding the humor & absurdity in formerly taboo topics on TV. He had something worthwhile & important to say, but he never forgot that a TV show must be entertaining & gripping first & foremost. I never felt that I was being lectured by Norman Lear, it was more that he was simply depicting life as the viewers themselves were experiencing it, heightened just a bit for comedy, but finding the comedy in life itself.
shareCould you imagine Norman Lear making All in the Family in 2023??
sharehe was instrumental in bringing the cesspool that america media is today.
