I remember trying series like The Jeffersons, Maude, and Good Times for a few episodes and giving up on them. The thing I would say about all of Lear's series, though, is that he stretched beyond traditional Hollywood looks for his casting. All in the Family was really groundbreaking. The writers and directors did a good job of keeping the tension high and the acting was top notch. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
