The working-class Bunker family of Queens, New York--lovable bigot Archie (Carroll O'Connor), his long-suffering \"dingbat\" wife Edith (Jean Stapleton), their liberal daughter Gloria (Sally Struthers), and son-in-law Mike \"Meathead\" Stivic (Rob Reiner)--instantly became, and half a century later still are, four of the most iconic characters in television. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eAll in the Family: The Show that Changed Television\u003c\/i\u003e, Norman Lear shares his take on fifty essential episodes that exemplify why the show remains as funny and relevant as ever. Its boundary-pushing approach to hot-button topics is examined with commentary from co-stars O' Connor, Stapleton, Reiner, and Struthers, as well as writers, directors, and guest stars from the show. With previously unseen notes from Lear, script pages, production designs, and a foreword by super-fan Jimmy Kimmel, this book is the ultimate companion to the seminal series and a must for fans of Lear's shows and television comedy. \"Norman Lear,\" said \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker \u003c\/i\u003ecritic Michael Arlen, \"has a feel for what people want to see before they know they want to see it.\" \u003ci\u003eAll in the Family\u003c\/i\u003e, like all of the Lear shows that followed, was a turning point in television's handling of taboo subjects such as race relations, feminism, homosexuality, war, religion, gun control, social inequity, and other controversial subjects, all of which remain in the news today.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProducer, philanthropist, and activist \u003cb\u003eNorman Lear\u003c\/b\u003e has the distinction of being among the first seven television pioneers inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame.
