All in the Family is an
American situation comedy that was originally broadcast on the
CBS television network from January 12, 1971 to April 8, 1979. In September 1979, the show was revamped, and given a new title,
Archie Bunker's Place. This version of the sitcom lasted another four years, ending its run in 1983.
Produced by
Norman Lear, it was based on the British television comedy series
Till Death Us Do Part[According to an article by Michael B. Kassel on the "The Museum of Broadcast Communications".]. The show broke ground in its depiction of issues previously considered unsuitable for U.S. network television comedy, such as
racism,
homosexuality,
women's liberation,
rape,
miscarriage,
breast cancer,
menopause and
impotence.
