The Top Ten
1 All In The Family All in the Family is an American sitcom television series that was originally broadcast on the CBS television network for nine seasons.

I would have loved to have seen the faces of the executives at the play-it-safe network when this one was pitched. Somebody took a wonderful chance and history was made.

This show changed US tv forever dealing with racism and many other topics like never before. It gave us one of TV greatest characters in Archie Bunker.

Great show I think it changed some things in the American chaiter THank you Mr. Lear and happy birth day.
