Warning the Program You Are about to See Is All in the Family: The Show That Transformed Television

4.3/5 ( ratings)

All in the Family creator Norman Lear takes fans behind the scenes of the groundbreaking sitcom on the occasion of its 50th anniversary.

Television was changed forever in 1971 with the premiere of All in the Family. Archie Bunker , his wife Edith , daughter Gloria , and son-in-law Mike "Meathead" Stivic instantly became--and half a century later still are--four of the most iconic characters in television.

Here, Norman Lear shares his take on fifty episodes that exemplify why All in the Family remains as funny and relevant as ever. Its boundary-pushing approach to hot-button topics is examined with commentary from its costars, writers, directors, and guest stars. With previously unseen notes from Lear, script pages, production designs, and a foreword by superfan Jimmy Kimmel, this book is the ultimate companion to this seminal series and a must for fans of television comedy.
