Norman Lear<\/strong>, the TV icon who had a seismic impact on American culture and social change, has died.<\/p>\n

Lear died at his home in L.A. Tuesday of natural causes, according to his publicist.<\/p>\n

There is no way to overstate Lear’s importance in media and beyond. He created “All in the Family” in 1968 and it was more than groundbreaking … a show about a bigoted, blue-collar dude with a family that did not align with his views. The character he created, Archie Bunker, was both despicable and, at times, loveable.<\/p>\n

The show tackled issues never touched before on TV … including homosexuality, racism, the Vietnam war, racism and women’s rights. Archie became frenemies with George Jefferson, who became so popular Lear created another monster hit — “The Jeffersons.” Likewise, another character, Maude, played by Bea Arthur, became yet another hit spinoff.<\/p>\n

That’s just a short list of Lear’s hits … others include “Sanford and Sons,” “Good Times,” “One Day at a Time” and “Different Strokes.”<\/p>\n

Lear had a unique knack to create humor around touchy social and political issues.  In short, He changed TV and American culture.<\/p>\n

He was an activist until he died … a staunch liberal who once took on the conservative Moral Majority. He was a diehard critic of Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

His family said in a statement, “Thank you for the moving outpouring of love and support in honor of our wonderful husband, father and grandfather. Norman lived a life of creativity, tenacity, and empathy. He deeply loved our country and spent a lifetime helping to preserve its founding ideals of justice and equality for all.  Knowing and loving him has been the greatest gift.”<\/p>\n

Lear leave behind his third wife, Lyn Davis, six kids and 4 grandkids.<\/p>\n

Lear was 101 and lived those years well.<\/p>\n

RIP<\/p>\n
