Is it true Lear wanted to spinoff AB's Place and make a show about the Rabinowitz's? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I remember reading that this was on the table but it fell through. Anyone else know about it? And if you see the episode on youtube entitled, "The Promotion", you can definitely see the possibilities! The show was to be called, "Law in the Family" but O'Connor got mad at the idea of taking from the name All in the Family and threatened to sue. Is this true?

This definitely makes sense. Much of the final season felt like a backdoor pilot for the Rabinowitz clan centered around Gary, Barry, and Marsha.
