This one's from 2014 features Norman Lear, Allison Rose and Brian Bishop talking about all the family all the families one of these shows that I reference all the time in the new Hollywood system where you're attempting to do a sitcom and They go everyone has to be likable this guy's not likable and I go Carol O'Connor was not likable Archie bunker Not likable.
