Norman Lear & The Power of Comedy: Behind the Most Shocking Shows of the ’70s
Today, Norman Lear and his shows are famous — or infamous, depending on who you ask. But in 1971, he was an obscure TV writer and producer. A college dropout and former Nazi hunter, Norman turned to comedy after World War II. And after years of writing jokes for some of the most famous comics on television, Norman decided it was time to for a show of his own. He tackled topics that other shows were afraid to go near — from sex to religion to homosexuality. Now, Norman says America may be facing its darkest moment yet … which is why, with his over seventy years of experience, he’s back with some of his most ambitious projects to date. And he’s got a secret weapon for changing the world yet again.
