Linda lavin . And her husband, who is latin and a musician. Desi honey, you know how i feel about this. I dont want my wife in show business. Lucy why not . Marisa guthrie lucille ball was always trying to emancipate herself from the wife and the homemaker role. Bob saget and every time she gets the opportunity, something goes awry. Jaleel White Lucille ball was fearless in her physical comedy. You know, women were supposed to be demure and dainty and in their place. Tim allen lucille ball was one of my favorites for timing her bits. Desi what do you think youre doing . Well . Jennifer armstrong i love lucy became a phenomenon instantly. Lorraine ali when you think about the era that lucille ball came up in, and what she was able to achieve its astounding. Desi hey im a father, im a father tom gilbert when lucy and ricky had a baby, it was like huge. It was the highestrated show of the series. It changed the dynamic because All Of A Sudden it became centered around the family unit. I think i love lucy was the big bang of the Family Sitcom. Marisa guthrie then the family moved to the suburbs. Lucy gee isnt this exciting. We are in our very own home. Marisa guthrie and that mirrored what was happening in america at the time. Patrick gomez advertisers wanted to cater towards that new suburban family that needed to buy that Kitchen Appliance or needed to buy that vacuum. Jacqueline coley and after i love lucy, there was a formula for what the American Family should look like. Cybill shepherd ozzie and harriet. Announcer the adventures of ozzie and harriet.

Linda lavin the kids were very polite. Everybody was very nice to each other. Those were not real people, but they entertained and delighted us. Jim alright kids, dinner is on, were sitting down. Jennifer armstrong when you get to Father Knows Best, its very patriarchal, dealing with tiny little problems. Jim ah. A quiet evening at home. I could use it. [slam] billy gray and i played bud. Bud usually had a problem with the truth telling, on some level. Jim what was all that Racket Upstairs . Bud i didnt hear anything. Billy gray Father Knows Best represented the good life; the american dream. Jim ill read you one story, then off to bed you go. Bob and then Leave It To Beaver enters the sitcom realm in 1957. Wally whats that . Beaver a haircut i think. Tony dow the real key to Leave It To Beaver is that its written from a childs point of view. Wally why didnt you let stanley cut your hair . Beaver i losted my money. Jerry mathers you have the character of beaver and you have wally his older brother who usually does things right, beavers always the one that gets in trouble. June [gasps] Marisa Guthrie and there were the parents to teach them, to show them the right path. Ward we want you to feel that you can come to me or to your mother with any problem and well understand. Patrick gomez in the 1950s, sitcoms were really giving us an idealistic version of america.

Sam what are you being, a witch . Frankie no, im going to be a useless housewife from the 50s. Sam i love that dan levy throughout the years, the boundaries have been pushed back and the walls have come down. If you look back to the 50s, there was a lot of confines on what family looked like and what was acceptable and what wasnt. Steven hi chipper. Robbie hi squirt. Chip hi cats. Barry livingston My Three Sons was the first show that deviated from the perfect pleasantville nuclear family. Ernie you gonna blow up the stove again mr. Douglas . Steve no ernie, i dont think ill make that same mistake again. [laughs] [small expolsion] Barry Livingston it was a show about a single dad. He was a widower with three boys, trying to raise them in an allmale household. Chip you dry. Barry livingston everyone had to do something. Everyone had to pitch in. We did dishes, you know, we were darning socks. These are things that you never saw in the ozzie and harriet show or donna reid or Leave It To Beaver. [phone rings] mike hey thats mine, ive got it bob saget when you watch a show thats based on losing someone. Steven come on, look out. Youre going to tear it. Bob saget that adds a deeprooted truth to the hardness of life. And then it gives comedy even more of a reason to go as crazy as you want to go. Uncle charlie i think that shirts done. Robbie oh my gosh my shirt steven well, robbie youll just have to wear your pants higher. Patrick gomez in the 60s, you see the sitcom move away from telling stories that are solely focussed on the nuclear, suburban family. Jim colucci divorce had become more prevalent in the 60s, it had become more part of normal american life, but it took a while for it to be reflected in sitcoms. The brady brunch. The brady brunch. Thats the way we all became. Christopher knight the brady bunch is the story of two separate families being glued together. Lloyd schwartz a man with three boys, a woman with three girls. The man was going to be a widower. The woman, divorced, but divorce was a taboo topic on television. So they said, lets just leave it so you dont know. [yelling] mike whats all the yelling about, huh . Bobby she stole our ball. Marcia im just trying to find out what they did with my school awards. Lloyd schwartz the brady bunch was an evolution from like Leave It To Beaver, it was shown from the kids point of view. Cindy will you lend me your skate key . Bobby im not lending you anything to a snitcher. Eve plumb it was all about what children are having problems with. Their appearance, or their schoolwork or their friends. Peter brady Pete Brady Intercepts and goes for the shot. Eve plumb oh you broke the vase, it was those kinds of everyday problems. Cindy marcia. Im proud to be your sister no matter how terrible you look. Marcia thanks a lot andy greene this is airing in the nixon era, when vietnam is raging and people are losing faith in government. Lloyd schwartz all these things were happening and the brady bunch was kind of a refuge. Malcom jamal warner Watching The Brady Bunch and having all these brothers and sisters, it was a great getaway for me. Michael schneider the brady bunch was a huge success for abc that led to the Partridge Family which really attracted a young, hungry audience. Shirley hey kids, Hollywood Boulevard Danny Bonaduce we were a musical family that would travel around doing shows. Keith singing oh girl, you make my day. Helen hunt i was for sure going to marry david cassidy. That was definitely going to happen. Patrick gomez the Partridge Family is trying to embrace this like hippie cool culture. Danny what did you hit mom . Shirley i think it was a studebaker. Man you crazy hippies, its not enough you dont trust anyone over 30. Now youre trying to wipe us out Laura Morowitz but it takes this phenomenon of the counterculture and makes it very safe. Danny now relax mum. But just remember our whole future depends on these next few minutes. Shirley ahhh. Barry livingston it was an escape from the real world for a lot of people. News anchor in new york, a Student Protest is met by Construction Workers and at kent state in ohio, 4 students are killed. Ethan alter but some people didnt want to hide from what was happening. Drew carey people were like, no, we want to hear about all this stuff and how its affecting our families. Thats when shows like All In The Family came on. Ethan alter norman lear was at the beginning of his career and was looking to find a show that he could really make his own and he was turned on to a british series called til death do us part. Norman lear it was about a bigoted father and i was said holy moly. That was the way i grew up, and i knew i had a show. Crew air pilot. Take one. Ethan alter they shot the pilot at abc. It featured Carroll Oconnor and Jean Stapleton as archie and edith bunker. Actor 1 we just dont see any evidence, of god. Alright . Actress 1 thats right daddy. Archie i know we had a couple of pinkos in the house but i didnt know we had a pair of atheists. Ethan alter it was not well received by abc. They watched it and felt the chemistry wasnt there between the parents and the kids. Norman lear and then asked me to make it again with two different young people. Actor 2 we just dont see any evidence, of god, thats all. Actress 2 thats right daddy. Archie i know we had a couple of pinkos in this house but i didnt know we had a pair of atheists. Emily vanderwerff The Network Freaks out about whether people will be able to watch this show that has like real issues. Norman lear everybody is nervous and there are people saying theyre gonna kill you. Theyre going to shoot you dead in the streets. The minute you drive off the lot. Or more.

Comcast business, powering possibilities. Herbie j pilato in 1970, cbs is trying to change their landscape. They had all these rural Family Sitcoms; they were looking for more sophisticated sitcoms. Patrick gomez after abc declined to move forward with the All In The Family pilot, norman lear made the decision to move the show over to cbs. Sally struthers they said yes but you need a new set of kids. So rob reiner and i were the third set of children for archie and edith bunker. Norman lear so, i made the pilot for the third time. Same script. I wouldnt change a word. Archie so lets hear it again, huh . What did you mean by what god . Michael we just dont see any evidence of god, thats all. Gloria thats right daddy. Archie thats right daddy . Well i knew we had a couple of pinkos in this house. But i didnt know we had atheists john lithgow i do remember seeing the opening episode and realizing, my god, the ground is shaking under me. Michael now, im going to tell you something. Gloria michael. Michael no no, wait a second. Sally struthers and we reach over each other at the table and we have arguments. Michael because guys like you are unwilling to give the black man, the Mexican American and all the other minorities their just and rightful hard earned share of the american dream. Sally struthers that didnt happen before. We got real. Bambi haggins political strife. Interpersonal issues. Generation gaps. And theyre dealing with it All In The Family. Michael now i suppose youre going to tell me that the black man has had the same opportunity in this country as you . Archie more. Hes had more. I didnt have no Million People out there marching and protesting to get me my job. Edith no, his uncle got it for him. John lithgow Archie Bunker was saying things that you just dont say on television. Michael just because a guy is sensitive and hes an intellectual and he wears glasses, you make him out a queer. Archie i never said a guy who wears glasses is a queer. A guy who wears glasses is a four eyes, a guy whos a fag is a queer. Tim allen youll watch that show and even end up looking around like youre gonna be arrested. John lithgow it was jaw dropping. It was funny, but it was very challenging, and you realized norman lear is taking us into a whole new realm of comedy. Norman lear the blowback from the public was buried by the excitement and the applause. Bob leszczak the show was number one for a long time. Ethan alter it changed cbs and their brand as a network. As a result of All In The Family, they turned to norman lear to create more shows in that image. Archie theres a person at the door. Maude Adrienne Barbeau bea arthur played maude as ediths cousin on All In The Family. Maude maudie is here. Jim colucci and she could take on archie head to head. Maude now you can either come to the table and eat, or you can lie there and feed off your own fat. Jim colucci the story goes that by the time that episode had aired, fred silverman, who was in charge of cbs at the time, had called norman lear and said, get that woman her own show. And then theres maude. And then theres maude that uncompromisin, enterprisin, anything but tranquilizin, right on maude Adrienne Barbeau it was not your allAmerican Family. Carol youre getting senile in your old age. Maude thank you darling. I only hope i live long enough to become a burden to you. Adrienne barbeau maude is an independent strong woman who speaks her mind. She was married to her fourth husband, walter, played by bill macy. Here, have some cold knackwurst. Eric mccormick i loved their combative relationship. I still to this day if somebody pisses me off ill say, godll get you for that walter. Maude godll get you for that walter. Patrick gomez maude was really the first time that we saw such a fiercely independent woman who wasnt afraid to speak her mind at the center of a Family Sitcom. Norman lear maude had a maid florida who was a great character. Henry im henry evans. Norman lear her husband made an appearance. Henry i am proud of you florida. Its just i dont want you to be a maid no more. Florida your mother was a maid. Thats how your brothers got through school and you got to be a fireman. Norman lear when john amos and esther rolle finished their scene, we thought, lets fill out that family. Good times good times jay moriarty thats the first time you ever saw a black family on television. Jj look who finally got back from her honeymoon in the bathroom mirror. Thelma knock it off jj. Your mouth is always ahead of your think piece. Lorida lets face it james, this family aint ozzie and harriet. Jimmie walker we were very different than other sitcom families from the point that we were urban. Trying to survive on the south side of chicago with a dad that has spotty job situations. James its a cold world out there, and we cant change it. Florida well maybe we cant change it, james. But we sure cant let it change us. Jimmie walker good times was not only to show the problems, it was to show the love of a minority family. Jj were standing in a used car lot of love. James and in 20 years we only turned out one clunker. Jacqueline coley the idea of white families seeing things on an episode of good times that they could relate to their own experience. That is a power that cannot be duplicated with hours of conversation. Patrick gomez it showed how sitcoms werent afraid to discuss social issues that had formerly been taboo. This is it. This is it this is life, the one you get. Caryn james when you get to Something Like one day at a time, the single mother in that show is divorced. That was unusual for television. Julie i havent had a happy minute since we moved to indianapolis. Sure was different before the divorce, when daddy was around. Ann yeah yeah, i know. You used to wrap him around your little finger. Caryn james all of the Single Parents before had been widowed. And so television begins to catch up with who we are. Barbara whatchu doing, mom . Ann i am circling the jobs for which it would appear i am qualified. Barbara i dont see any circles. Ann exactly. Valerie bertinelli i mean it was the 70s. Women were feeling empowered to have lives of their own and to still have a family. Ann darling. Would like to tell me whats going on between you and chuck . Barbara youre going to die you had no business telling her. Valerie bertinelli showing what a family goes through, showing what its like to raise two daughters in a divorce. Ann well make it. I promise. I love you. Norman lear we grow up in families and we all share these experiences in one way or another. Ernest lee thomas one day at a time, All In The Family, maude, good times. All these Family Sitcoms they just owned the top 10. Cut another Health Insurance commercial, another aquaaerobics scene. Yup. Most Health Insurance companies see us all the same smiley seniors golfing, hiking. Dont forget antiquing. Thats why i chose humana. They see me, not a stereotypical senior. Im prediabetic, so i talked oneonone with a Humana Health educator who really helped me. Now im taking free cooking and meditation classes. Not aquaaerobics . Better care begins with listening. Humana. A more human way to healthcare. Each day is a unique blend of going, doing, and living. Glucerna protein smart with 30 grams of protein to help keep you moving.

Ethan alter the 1980s were a radical transformation from what america had been like in the 1960s and 1970s. The economy was booming. Judge congratulations sir. Ethan alter . As the reagan era took hold, there was a rise in conservative values. Patrick gomez we saw american audiences losing interest in socially relevant sitcoms, and really the sitcom started to die away. Gerrad hall dramas had really taken over, those soaps were so big dynasty, dallas, magnum p. I. Patrick gomez and so you saw the Family Sitcom really strived to find a new identity. Alex i cant believe you guys can watch this, you look ridiculous. Sarah rodman family ties has one of the great premises in sitcom history. Steven half a Million People trying to stop a senseless war. You find that ridiculous . Alex im talking about the outfits. Sarah rodman these two Flower Children from the 60 s, grow up and then in the 80s suddenly find themselves with this young republican son. Alex well, how do i look . Steven middle aged. Michael gross it was about the clashes between two generations. Steven youre a young man, you shouldnt be worried about success. You should be thinking about hopping on a Tramp Steamer and going around the world. Alex the 60s are over, dad. Steven thanks for the tip. Gerrad hall family ties is a reversal in many ways of All In The Family, except now you have the liberal parents and the conservative child. Elyse this morning i found a copy of the Wall Street Journal under his bed. Steven you think maybe he was switched at birth and the rockefellers have our kid . Meredith Baxter Michael was just wonderful. He was young and energetic and he had such good timing. Alex who did this . Michael gross we started rather slowly, nbc was moving us around a little bit, trying to find the right place for us. Jim colucci family ties pumped a little bit of life into the Family Sitcom, but the sitcom in general had been pronounced dead. There were very few on the air. And then All Of A Sudden comes the Cosby Show In 84. Theo dad, can i have an advance on my allowance . Cliff son, youre already backed up to your 50th birthday. Tim allen The Cosby Show was a game changer to me. This is just a family i adored. Present history has tainted that a little bit. It didnt stop the fact that that was a groundbreaking experience. Jacqueline coley they had this really sort of idyllic family. Claire was a lawyer. He was a doctor. Jaleel white there was a very natural chemistry between Cliff Huxtable and clair and their children that wasnt cliche black poverty. Cliff son, your mother asked me to come up here and kill you. How do you expect to get into college with grades like this . Theo no problem. Bambi haggins theres a much more conservative paradigm that is driving The Cosby Show. Theo instead of acting disappointed because im not like you, maybe you can just accept who i am and love me anyway. Malcolmjamal warner you know, in any other sitcom, that would be the moment where the music would start and the father would embrace the son and say something, you know, really encouraging. Cliff theo. Thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard in my life tom werner and you could hear the audience gasp because like, this is a strong father who is going to say to his son, as he said, you know, i cliff i brought you in this world, and ill take you out. Tom werner All Of A Sudden the audience cheered because it was like the parents are saying, yes, were taking back the house. Cliff i just want you to do the best you can. Thats all. Malcolmjamal warner there was such a love and camaraderie in the huxtable family that i think you had a universal audience. Tom werner we got super bowl ratings every single week and theyre tuning in because everybody wants to be a huxtable. Jacqueline coley The Cosby Show revitalized the sitcom. Warren littlefield alright, then lets put cosby at 8. Lets put family ties at 8 30. Michael gross and then family ties went poom in a huge way. Michael gross that great thursday night lineup cosby, family ties, cheers, night court. Jacqueline coley nbc really created this idea of must see tv. Youre talking about 20 and 30 and 40 Million People tuning in. Michael gross people say you were one of americas most successful fathers. I said no, it was bill cosby. Cosby was number one. Jaleel white with respect to whats happened of late. Its like, hugely disappointing to all of us, but he set the standard for what a Family Sitcom was. Jim colucci The Cosby Show had proven that the Family Sitcom was a viable genre again. [audience laughter] lynn im mr. Belevedere gerrad hall by the late 80s Family Sitcoms were very popular among the big three networks. Gerrad hall there was this incredible resurgence. Jesse this is great, we should be mothers. Joey ah yeah ethan alter families tuned into these tv shows to see an aspirational version of what family life could be. Urkel did i do that . Jennifer Keishin Armstrong shows like Silver Spoons and growing pains and all that. Its constant hugging and learning, right . [audience clapping] ethan alter with the Family Sitcom at the height of its popularity, fox started moving into the television arena. Cedric fox was new, building their network. They were one of the last majors to build a network. Patrick gomez they decided they were going to use the Family Sitcom to do that and compete against the big three. Peggy al, look at our little girl. We dont really have to go to a recital, do we . Ethan alter and they wound up going in a completely opposite direction. Sort of the anti in a way, the antiFamily Sitcom. Al now bud, apologize to your sister. Bud no. Al okay. Anita sarkeesian married with children is full of trash people that do horrible things and say horrible things. Al quiet you morons paul reiser you were always aware they were just wise guys, you know, zinging each other. Al peg, how could you sell the Family Playboys . Jacqueline coley looking back on it now, i dont know how that show stayed on air. Kelly is this okay, mom . I havent worn it since grandmas funeral. Jim colucci Married With Children Helped Put Fox on the map. Ethan alter this idea of a darker Family Presentation spoke to people who were bored with what the main Family Sitcoms were offering at the time. Al family before you go, would you bring old daddys shot gun and stand close together . The best advice i ever got was to invest with vanguard for my retirement. The second best . Stay healthy enough to enjoy it. So i started preparing physically and financially. Then you came along and made every mile worth it. Hi mom. At vanguard youre more than just an investor, youre an owner. Helping you prepare for todays longer retirement. Thats the value of ownership. Nicole my daughter, natalie, she is the youngest of my five children, and she has neuroblastoma. She really didnt have any symptoms until one day she just stopped using her arm. Andrew by the time we realized that she was sick, it had grown into about a softball sized tumor and spread through her bone marrow, her lymph nodes. So its a very fast, aggressive cancer. Nicole so we came to st. Jude and learned how much hope there was and learned how much they could do for natalie here. [soft horn music playing] narrator you can join the battle to save lives by supporting st. Jude childrens research hospital. Families never receive a bill from st. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food so they can focus on helping their child live. Andrew money wasnt even an issue. We just did the best treatment for natalie. Nicole its the donors who have already taken on that burden on their backs and said, all right, weve got this. Were going to pay this bill and make sure this family is taken care of. I can say, for sure, that that money is being put to incredible use. And our family is forever grateful for donations, big and small, because its completely changed our lives and its given us a second chance. Narrator when you call or go online with your credit or debit card right now, well send you this st. Jude tshirt you can wear to show your support to help st. Jude save the lives of these children. Nicole we thought we were losing our daughter. And then when we came to st. Jude, everything changed. Andrew hope changes everything. Narrator theres still so much more that needs to be done. And st. Jude wont stop until no child dies from cancer. Become a partner in hope today. [soft piano music playing] roseanne you just sit there and drink your beer hubby, ill fix the sink myself. Dan the hell you will Patrick Gomez in the 1990s, we saw the big networks really start to experiment with the Family Sitcom. Gerrad hall some sitcoms were very edgy, like roseanne and married with children. Roseanne talk is cheap, mr. Fix it. Patrick gomez on the other hand, you had shows that were kind of going back to a more wholesome storytelling, you see that on abcs Home Improvement. Tim allen in a broad stroke, what Home Improvement did is, first off, it made a Stable Family and a loving family. Jill no running in the house tim brad cover the ball with both hands so you dont fumble. Go on jill Tim Tim Allen but also i really wanted to find out what made men tick. Tim boy theres nothing like the feeling of raw and cold steel hanging onto your hips. Latoya ferguson tim the toolman taylor. Hes a local celebrity. He has his own Home Improvement show called tool time. Tim you know what men, we want a job done right, and we want it done quick. What do we need . Audience more power tim allen more power was my moniker my whole life [laughing] plus the grunting [grunt] and blowing stuff up. Latoya ferguson hes like this supposed mans man. Patricia richardson and then he comes home to a woman whos a feminist. Jill and under no circumstances do you ever treat the female sex as though they are housekeepers put here to wait on you hand and foot. Tim honey, you wanna pop that in the washer for me . Patricia richardson what was great about our family, was that even though we disagreed, randy i think ill just pop on out of here. Patricia richardson we loved each other and always made up. Patrick gomez Home Improvement was proof that a traditional Family Sitcom could still be a hit, but through the 90s we continued to see the family change. We saw people having children much later in life and the Family Sitcom reflected that. Paul reiser in mad about you, the marriage itself was the premise of the show. Mara brock akil a strong woman character against a strong male character, and so the fireworks. It just kept happening. Helen hunt watching how two people try to love each other over time.

Paul reiser early, like season one i think, the network said you guys should have a kid. And we went no, no, no, no, no. We dont, thats too soon. Season two is time for a kid.
