All these years I grudgingly gave Norman Lear credit for this series, when actually all he contributed was add coast liberal smarm.

Loved Archie, BTW, even if Caroll OConner didn't.

Lear had very little hands on involvement. His contribution was the idea of an Americanized version and hiring a bunch of New York comedy writers. O’Connor claims he re-wrote much of it.
