All In The Family hands down, like that show or not, nothing had ever been on television like it.

Was there a sitcom with an all African-American cast before Good Times?
If there wasn't, I would say that made for a more culturally groundbreaking show.
All in The Family was controversial, but still had a mostly Caucasion cast.
Nothing different from a lot of shows of that period.

Amos 'n' Andy

Sanford & Son (unless you count the white cop that showed up from time to time)

All in the Family was definitely a groundbreaking sitcom, dealing with subjects that never been explored on shows like Leave it to Beaver, My Three Sons and Family Affair. It opened the door for more edgier comedies such as Sanford and Son, Maude and Good times.
