Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Norman Milton Lear (July 27, 1922 - December 5, 2023) was an Emmy and Peabody Award winning and Academy Award nominated television writer, producer, screenwriter and occasional voice actor best known for being the creator, producer or developer of a number of sitcom megahits in 1970s including All in The Family, The Jeffersons, Maude, Good Times and Sanford and Son (with Bud Yorkin) among others. Lear's sitcoms are fondly remembered amongst the best of era and as revolutionary Trope Codifiers of the socially conscious Sitcom as his shows often dealt frankly (even by today's standards) with social issues of the day and breaking taboos of the day (everything from All in The Family having the first audible toilet to Maude featuring the first sitcom character to get an abortion) without being overly preachy. Lear's various production companies continued pumping out sitcoms through The Eighties and into The Nineties (Diff'rent Strokes, Who's The Boss? and The Facts of Life among them) before hitting a bit of a lull with a string of shows that got Screwed by the Network after only a few episodes and generally aren't as highly regarded (or well remembered) as his early work. |
