The early-'70s was regarded as the golden age of sitcom, where the genre became socially important. ALL IN THE FAMILY was #1 from 1971 to 1976. MARY was often in the Top Ten, and was the most critically-acclaimed comedy of the decade. Plus, there was an aliveness about the show which stood in contrast to the other series which preceded it of ran concurrently. So everybody was aware of the program even if they didn't always watch it.But there were some years it wasn't always even in the Top 20, especially after CBS moved AITF away from Saturday nights in 1975.</blockquote>
