1970-71 Television Season 50th Anniversary: All in the Family (Jean Stapleton '72 Cavett interview)

Saturday - what better day than a Saturday to continue with our look back at All in the Family, a show that helped turned Saturday nights into gold for CBS during the 1970s.
As we continue our look back at the 1970-1971 television season, we're focusing this January, fifty years later, on one of the monster hits of the decade - All in the Family. A game changing series that dominated the ratings and the Emmy Awards (alongside The Mary Tyler Moore Show and M*A*S*H) for the entire decades. Ground breaking, rule bending, thought provoking television. The 1970s were off to a flying start.
This video is of an interview that Jean Stapleton (soon to be joined on the show by Norman Lear) gave in 1972 on the Dick Cavett Show. One thing we do want to make mention of, as we've been watching these Dick Cavett Show interviews... Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton were very smart, intelligent people, and that really comes across in these interviews. Some of our viewers are commenting on that very notion as well as they watch these interviews... All in the Family had some very serious, smart people both behind the cameras, and in front of the cameras, and that really comes across as we look back at these various clips from the series.
More to come later this month as Norman Lear joins the Dick Cavett Show discussion.
Enjoy !
