49 and I never heard of him.
I’m sure Trump will get over it :)
The late ‘70s were a lousy time for TV. Shows like ‘Maude’ ‘Mary Hartman’ and other laugh track driven, negative, liberal BS that Lear specialized in. He’s a real ****.
Lear used TV as the medium to try and mold and change public opinions, starting with “All in the Family” in 1971, followed by “Maude” and other shows.
Instead of the humorous and escapist TV sitcoms of the 50s and 60s, every show was now dedicated to a leftist cause and why you, the audience, were wrong headed in your thinking about said cause.
It was mind manipulation on a mass scale.
Lear was battery acid to the American way of life.
And still is.
