“All in the Family” is a family-based TV show that aired in the 1960s, the show deals with issues that people of that era were starting to talk about and deal with. “All in the family is different from contemporary family-based shows because they are very much more conservative. Even thought the 60’s were a time where society became more liberal, the language and physical nature of the show was still more conservative than the TV shows of today.
The TV show “All in the Family” is the same as modern day TV shows in that the parents and the children have different opinions and views of the world. Neither of the views are wrong but they demonstrate a generation gap between the members of the family. The generation gap between family members can be seen in many TV shows that air today.
“All in the Family” show the mother of the family being very agreeable and air-headed, in this show the man is very much in charge of the household. In today’s contemporary family-based TV situation comedy the man and women run the household together, with the mom sometimes being shown as the boss of the house. This shows how society has changed. “All in the Family” deals with some of the same prejudice that we deal with today. Even though society is excepting homosexual people more and more, it has not been widely excepted everywhere.
