Lear, who died at 101 on Dec. 4, 2023, designed the All In the Family patriarch to bring social commentary into sitcoms, something that hadn't been done extensively before he revolutionized the genre. "Encouraging that kind of conversation was a goal of mine when we began broadcasting All in the Family in 1971," he wrote in a 2022 op-ed for The New York Times to mark his turning into a centenarian.
