The series followed Archie Bunker as the highly opinionated, working-class family man who viewed the world on his terms. When not arguing with his liberal son-in-law, Archie took refuge in his wife, Edith, who tried to understand Archie&#8217;s conservative ways and outdated beliefs. The award-winning series shaped ongoing political and social conversations among American families in the post-civil rights era.<\/p>\n<p>The success of &#8220;<em>All in the Family<\/em>&#8221; launched &#8220;<em>The Jeffersons<\/em>,&#8221; running from 1975 to 1985. It was the first television series to feature an interracial couple, and it would go on to be one of the longest-running African-American shows on TV. The series followed George and Louise Jefferson moving on up to the east side and showcasing what it was like to be successful in a predominantly white world. The series changed the landscape and helped shift conversations about race and class, paving the way for other African-American actors and TV shows.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Live in Front of a Studio Audience: Norman Lear&#8217;s &#8216;All in the Family&#8217; and &#8216;The Jeffersons&#8217;<\/em>&#8221; will be produced by Smoking Baby Productions, ACT III Productions, Gary Sanchez Productions and Sony Pictures Television.
