"All in the Family" was an absolute classic, ground-breaking sitcom in US TV. It was based on the 1965-1975 BBC sitcom "Till Death Us Do Part", which was also adapted in a 1973-74 sitcom in Germany. I also have fond memories of "Sanford and Son" starring Redd Foxx, itself adapted from the BBC sitcom "Steptoe and Son".
RIP Mr. Lear.
