The radical conservativism of Norman Lear, TV comedy's liberal-in-chief
The American screenwriter and producer Norman Lear, who is as responsible as anyone for changing the face of television comedy over the past 75 years, has died, at the age of 101. As one colleague remarked, Lear won five Emmys for programmes including All In The Family, Sanford and Son and Good Times: the latter of which will be revived by Netflix, in a Seth MacFarlane-produced animated incarnation.
