When I was a kid, the old Amos ‘N Andy TV show was on. I enjoyed it and did not think of it as ‘racist’ in any way.
But now it cannot be broadcast at all...............
'All in the Family' was ripped off from the British sitcom 'Till Death Us Do Part'. He capitalized on that ripoff with spinoffs 'Maude' (which had a spinoff of 'Good Times'), 'The Jeffersons', and 'One Day at a Time'.
'Sanford and Son' was ripped off from the British sitcom 'Steptoe and Son'.
Do not GAS.
Ipso fatso!
Yep.
The Andy Griffith show had lots of propaganda too. And it came out years later that Andy and Don Nots were both gay. Kept under wraps at the time, obviously.
There are Leftists today who hate AITF. They see it as having “humanized a monster”.
They were both married to numerous women and had kids.
I know they were married and had kids. I know I read some stuff about them but I can’t find it now so I’m not going to repeat it now. I did poke around and found out West Virginia took down a statue of Don Knott’s a few years ago. It’s unclear why except some people complained.
What “pioneer”?
I suppose that taking British sitcoms and merely adapting them to US audiences is “pioneering” somehow? The man had not an original thought in his head.
Ok.
.
Yet, you already "repeated it." Even though you have no source but your self. That's so hypocritical as to be humorous.
I heard on the radio today that Mr. Lear was just recently on a zoom call about re-booting one of my favorite shows, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.
I really liked Mary Hartman but I liked SOAP a lot more!! Rob Schmidt had a clip of All in the Family on his show tonight Archie going off on immigration OMG I had forgotten how funny that show was, I was laughing at that clip so hard tears were coming down my cheeks! It has been SO LONG since we have had comedy like that, such a shame!! Norman Lear would have been cancelled today by the left!!
Gosh....I thought he was (already) dead, Jim.
Norman was conservative, before he knew it.
Blow it out your ass and do you’re own research. I’m not the only person to bring this up. It’s out there. And Andy Griffith was a hard core leftist. Look it up yourself genius.
