The Sitcoms of Norman Lear

Other Dates For This Event:


Monday, 25 March, 2024

This course explores the work of Norman Lear, a trailblazing TV writer and producer who redefined American television. Lear's sitcoms, including All in the Family, Sanford and Son, The Jeffersons, and Maude, challenged the norm with their groundbreaking portrayal of societal issues. We'll study Lear's significant hits, delve into some of his lesser-known works, and review his career through screenings and discussions. We plan to have actors and producers who worked with Lear join our classes (via Zoom). This is a unique opportunity to understand the legacy of a man who continued to innovate in television until his passing away at age l 07.
