  1. If he was so good who would have the balls to ask him why he allowed the N-word to be use so many times on the Jeffersons and other shows
    Ha say or is it all crickets out here

  2. REAL SHOWS TO SEE
    NO REALITY, SMARTPHONES, RACISTSTUFF

  3. GARBAGE SHOWS 2023
    IM GOING BACK TO MY GRADE SCHOOL DAYS 1976
    OFF THE BUS,HOSTESS TWINKIE AND A HOUR OF SANFORD

  4. Unfortunately for the Lear family, I am used to seeing farce spousal tributes after my history with the Melania Pillman act. The Pillmans were ending their marriage, and yet she suggested it was still for real. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGIBZSz4pOk He and Lyn had a marriage that was not legit and mainly an act. He didn't even continue posting wedding anniversary tribute photos of them after 2018.

  5. Thanks to his beautiful mind we had the best shows on earth.

  6. Rest in eternal peace Norman Lear.

  7. All of those shows were just sssso weird and "instructional" especially AITF as if the viewer were watching a film in class AITF was also so over-acted that it was insulting to watch

  8. All In The Family is my favorite show of all time. I have most of Norman Lear's 70's shows in my DVD collection. I love them for the opposite reason Lear wanted us to. He wanted to present conservatives as being stupid racists and bigots, but really his shows exposed the Guilty White Liberal Complex and what bigots and hypocrites and angry, miserable humans the left were then, and still are today with their Death Cult. The good news is the Left will be extinct in 20-25 years or so, thanks to their "human right" to kill their babies up to the moment of birth, sterilizing and mutilating the kids they do have with gender drugs and surgeries, and wanting to be "DINKS" instead of parents. Meanwhile conservatives will continue to give birth 3-to-1 and our conservative children will take over Washington, education, AND Hollywood in just under two generations. Bye bye Lefties, don't let the door hit'cha! 😂

    RIP Norman Lear. Those sure were the days… ❤

  9. RIP MR NORMAN LEAR I LOVE YOU AND YOUR SHOW'S YOU HAVE BEEN ENTERTAINING ME AND MY FAMILY FOR YEARS 😥😢

  10. Here's to you Mr. Lear 🥂
    Thank you, my dear grandparents loved your shows💙

  11. Crazy how for the last several months on my YouTube feed all the family keeps popping up I’m sure that’s probably coincidental? What a wonderful tribute to be reminded of how great the shows were especially at the time, and even in today’s world. If we could only learn to laugh at ourselves more, that would be a blessing. Thank you, Mr. Lear for all you did!!

  12. Fantastic entertainment. Thank you sir

  13. Rest in power. You made some of my most favorite tv moments though 90% were before I was born. Being a late 70s baby I grew up with the reruns on tv as a background noise to my homework all through childhood. Most of it flew over my head until I turned 13…then everything you were trying to get across, started taking root, and it made me an accepting open person. I've always wanted just a smidge of Edith's ability to have unconditional love for everyone.

  14. Thank u Eric monte for all in the family..the Jeffersons. And good times and Sanford and son. .a true pioneer..norman who?

  15. RIP Norman. So much great tv

  16. Rest in Power ✝️☮️

  17. Meathead was just Rob Reiner acting himself.

  18. NOOOOOOOOOO😭!
    Not–> Norman Lear😮
    📽️📺‼️
    Rest with the best, Mr. Producer🤗; you'll never be forgotten😢.

  19. Aww.. he was great. His shows defined an era. He was able to make content involving African Americans, interracial marriage, abuse, without being a woke, contrived MESS like it is today. about And I didn’t know he was a WW2 Veteran. ❤ RIP.

  20. What changes the country has gone through since we were open to watching humor as a method of learning. Not one of those sitcoms would be allowed today. That alone should tell even the woke we are headed down a dark path. Thank you Mr. Lear for being able to make America search it's soul and be a better nation. I pray we can return to that nation once again.

  21. What a full , adventurous life. .. wow. Godspeed Mr.Lear❤

  22. Meanwhile, in real news, democrat governors murdered over 150,000 innocent Americans during the unconstitutional lockdowns. Newsom, Cuomo, whitmer, wolf, Murphy.

  23. Norm taught us to laugh at ourselves and our imperfections. A great icon. RIP.

  24. My condolences to your family and friends. RIP Mr Lear 💜

  25. RIP Norman Lear. He brought us some great shows!

  26. These were the funniest show ever and talked about tough subjects of the current times. ❤ RIP, sir!

  27. The Man The Myth The Legend
