All in the Family still stands the test of time, as some of the best characters and screenplays ever written. The characters upon which that show was created are pure genius, with depth and complexity rarely seen in television history.

The idea of All in the Family came from a British comedy. Lear's partner saw it, showed him, and they bought the rights.

The best Norman Lear to me was "Sanford & Son". Redd Foxx was amazing. "All In The Family" I certainly can relate more to Archie than 'Meathead' . Norman Lear did lot's of groundbreaking work but weaved his liberal ideas in the episodes.

That's what made it a hit show, two guys bickering about opposite views of anything and everything and remaining a loving family.

What's funny is that Carrol O'Conner was supposedly much more liberal than Rob Reiner. They were sort of playing the opposite roles of their off-stage debates.

Just like Last Man Standing. Mike and Chuck were both smart characters, lots of hilarious debate.

Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmad Al Sabah

I had a classmate in college from Kuwait. My first, firsthand, exposure to someone from the middle east. Kinda strange guy, seemed naive (maybe due to him being tossed into the "new" American culture - in the 70's), but I liked him. Son of a Mercedes dealer, but he was driving a new Pontiac.

Had several Persians in my engineering classes from Iran… all male and one female and she was very sharp and very hard working.

Often wondered how it went for her when the Shah was deposed…
