I love All in the Family.  That show brought out issues that people during that time would rather have not faced.  And did so with an amount of humor, showing people how ridiculous some of the sentiments of that time amounted to.  I'll never forget the episode where Edith was raped.  It was so well done and let women know it was alright to report that horrid crime, and be able to talk about it in order to start healing. 

Jean Stapleton was a wonderful actress.  RIP Edith. :'(
