He is NOT important. He actually is dead. You asked who he is. I realize now it wasn’t a serious question. But he was known for the fun shows he produced. I only ever watched Archie Bunker & Fred Sanford. Lear was a bleeding heart lib. I personally think ALL IN THE FAMILY was intended to ridicule Conservatives, and S & S was to ridicule blacks. Lear was an early hater. Blessings on your weekend.
Norman Lear isn’t dead. He’s nearly 100.
