All in the Family: The Complete Series

The groundbreaking, multi-Emmy-winning sitcom about bigoted Archie Bunker ended TV's innocence. Its protagonist was simultaneously lovable and pathetic and, series creator Norman Lear said, 'the bigger-than-life epitome of something that's in all of us, like it or not.' The series premiered on CBS on Jan. 12, 1971, changed its title to 'Archie Bunker's Place' in 1979 and ran on the network until 1983. It spun off the successful 'Maude,' 'The Jeffersons' and 'Good Times.'
