after the success of All In The Family...
I've caught a few episodes of "All in the Family" recently, and I'm amazed both at how funny the show is and what they do on the show.
People think today's TV shows are edgy because of the violence/gore or sexual situations they portray. I don't think any of that stuff is nearly as edgy as "All in the Family", and I don't think anyone would have the guts to make "All in the Family" today. I was kid when it was first televised, and back then it was just another show to me. Today, I can't believe they were able to make and air that show back then.
