Controversial Topics
All in the Family was not afraid to portray deeply controversial topics on the show, which many other shows didn’t dare do. Issues like racism, breast cancer, women’s liberation, homosexuality, religion, the Vietnam War, and menopause were all portrayed on the show in some way.

My Opinion
Carroll O’Connor had read an article about the show Till Death Us Do Part , before he was ever involved on All in the Family. And after he read the article, O’Connor told his wife that there was absolutely no way something like that would ever get done in the United States. Looks like he was so very wrong!
