Which One?: All In The Family or Roseanne?

[BuckeyeRidley]

Which convulded, dysfunctional family is your favorite?

I like "All In The Family" best because they were more edgy and innovative. So Many topics were introduced to television unlike ever before. I like how they did things with Norman Lear and how he had So Many spinoffs like "Maude" with Bea Arthur and "Good Times" where a young Janet Jackson was on it.

"The Jeffersons" were another one and ended aburptly the year I was born in 1984 but it gave Marla Gibbs an opportunity to go onto "227" on NBC. Shout-Out to Jackee for that & to Sally Struthers [Gloria on "All In The Family"] who did the voice of Pebbles Flintstone on "The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show" on CBS, the first spin-off of "The Flintstones".

All In the Family. Archie Bunker was the man!!

My wife LOVES Rosanne, but I gotta go with All in the Family. Early Roseanne was very good, but it jumped the shark badly, apparently due to backstage issues, and the latter seasons are just unwatchable.

No question.
All in the Family, hilarious and ground breaking.

All in the Family, hands down was better. Maude and the Jeffersons were equally great. Roseanne can't compete with that quality.

Sanford & Son > all of the above.

Neither could hold a candle to Married with Children.

All in the Family.
Didn't Sally Struthers go on to play Center for the Packers after she filled out.

All in the Family. No doubter.
