[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 399484, member: 5079"] Worth expanding on a bit, as presumably [USER=23]@Mel O'Drama[/USER] doesn't have a deep familiarity with American sitcoms. By the tail end of the Sixties, American sitcoms were a desolate wasteland of stale, loud, garish shows that were completely disconnected from any sense of reality. In 1970, two shows came along that breathed new life into the genre: ALL IN THE FAMILY and MARY TYLER MOORE. If AITF was loudly revolutionary, MTM was quietly revolutionary -- and all the more effective because of it. [/QUOTE]
