One of my favorite classic TV shows of all time is "All In The Family."
I prefer the ones which feature Carroll O'Connor, Jean Stapleton, Rob "Meat head" Reiner and Sally Struthers.
Classic television.
After they left, the show went down a peg. A young kid, Stephanie, was introduced and though she was good, the show just wasn't as funny. They tried to mellow Archie Bunker out and it took away form what the show was meant to be, biting satirical commentary of the mid 1970s. Controversial, yet hilarious.
I was reading the info about the show which ran yesterday. Here's what it said:
"The Sunshine Home fires Edith when she fails to summon aid for a woman whose last request was to be allowed to die (comedy)"
Doesn't sound very comedic, does it?
