View Full Version : Which Sitcom was More CONTROVERSIAL, Good Times, Maude, or All in the Family? TVFactFan 05-25-2003, 06:39 PM I think All in the Family was more controversial. Good Times dealt with a lot of controversial topics like the show Maude but after hearing all the things that came out of Archie Bunker's Mouth, That show to me was the most Controversial. Sean Snow 05-25-2003, 06:53 PM Out of those three, I think All in the Family was the most controversial because of the situations on the show. After that I'd say Maude, since that show dealt with a lot of controversial topics too, such as abortion.

So i have them as All In the Family Maude/Good Times Chad22 05-25-2003, 07:36 PM Definitely All In The Family. That show basically invented TV Contraversy. Basically all of Norman Lears shows did except The Jeffersons and Sanford and Son. And even those 2 had their share of Racial Comments and stuff. *PinkLady* 05-25-2003, 08:07 PM Originally posted by Chad Doody Definitely All In The Family.

DarleneIllyria 05-25-2003, 10:22 PM Without a doubt, All in the Family Christopher 05-25-2003, 10:36 PM All in The Family Tuesday Weld 05-25-2003, 11:37 PM I would say,All In The Family. Brian 05-26-2003, 12:27 AM All in the Family and by far. TVJunkie101 05-26-2003, 02:48 PM Definately All in the Family. Brian Damage 05-26-2003, 04:08 PM All in the Family Impressions 05-26-2003, 04:37 PM Originally posted by Sean Snow Out of those three, I think All in the Family was the most controversial because of the situations on the show.

Ditto, both of those tackled tough issues and I agree, I also think All in the Family was one of the first and the best example of a controversial sitcom.

The only two Norman Lears that I like and watch are The Jeffersons and Sanford and Son. The other three (or rest) I don't particularly care for. Janice 05-27-2003, 01:48 AM All In The Family, hands down. alf8mycat 05-28-2003, 10:43 PM All In The Family, hands down. I always thought Good Times and even Sanford and Son were just too stereotypical, but then again I guess even the character of Archie Bunker can be seen as stereotypical. I think Good Times is just depressing really. TVFactFan 05-28-2003, 11:36 PM Originally posted by alf8mycat All In The Family, hands down.

Why do u think Good Times is Depressing?-LOL alf8mycat 05-29-2003, 03:04 AM Originally posted by SOLOMON Why do u think Good Times is Depressing?-LOL The lifestyle that the characters had to live...The way the family had to struggle.. That tiny apartment, I know it was just a TV show, but it seemed to potray urban poverty very well. James 05-29-2003, 03:35 AM I must say All In The Family. |
