LEAVE IT TO BEAVER
Family, not couple, is the center of the show
Father takes the lead with the children, but mother is often the more reasonable voice
Children, not wife, are silly

It is in the early 1970s that we get one of the most unusual TV shows in the history of television: All in the Family

All in Family uses the sitcom structure to call attention to the racism and sexism a lot of families experienced.
It was said that every family had an Archie Bunker.

The show ranked number-one in the yearly Nielsen ratings from 1971 to 1976. It became the first television series to reach the milestone of having topped the Nielsen ratings for five consecutive years.

The question to ask is why was All in the Family such a hit?
