  • In the 1970s (and decades following), TV producer Norman Lear touched the lives of millions with culture-altering sitcoms like "All in the Family," "The Jeffersons" and "Good Times," pushing the boundaries of the era and giving a primetime voice to underrepresented Americans. In an intimate, smart conversation with Eric Hirshberg, he shares with humility and humor how his early relationship with "the foolishness of the human condition" shaped his life and creative vision.

    I have to keep reminding myself;
    the 'E' is for Entertainment, the 'E' is for Entertainment, the 'E' is for Entertainment.
    But I wish it stood for Education.

    My mother passed away when I was 8, and some idiot said to me: "God must have needed her with him."
    the first of many foolish moments of the human condition. I can relate, Mr. Lear.

    I liked the interview. But I did not like the fact that Eric Hirshberg was referring to Norman's life as it has already passed. Yes he is old but he is not dead and his life still goes on.

      Pretty sure someone has said the same thing about every new form of music from ragtime onwards, except maybe folk and country. Rock, punk, jazz, funk etc were all vilified because of ignorance. If you honestly think all hip hop and rap is the same and that every artist in the genre have the same ideas you haven't followed it at all. Listening is a prerequisite for criticism. Also, hip hop doesn't require quotations, it's a real thing.

    a life of meaning is often pretty words for those with enough wealth and support to actually chase their dreams tho, chasing dreams another load of tosh as the majority of people are in reality slaves nowadays as we all know. sure, maybe we can kid ourselves that serving that hamburger is providing nourishment or smiling at the moaning cliente is good for business, whatever, come on, how many people reallly believe they have a life of meaning? ok, some for sure, people working in health etc but not 90% of working class folk :)
