“All in the Family” is a comedy from 1970s, while “Everybody Loves Raymond” is from mid-1990s. Both of their main story lines were based on an ordinary family life in their period of time, however, the role within the family has changed over time. From the episodes in “All in the family” that I watched from last screening, I noticed that the father is the most dominant role in the family. He is obstinate, stubborn and dismissive of anyone who has a different view of things from him. His arrogance seemed had created lots of conflicts and disputes between his son-in-law and himself. In contrast, the mother is the innocent, understanding and simple-minded role who always complies with his husband. While the stereotype husband-wife relationship does not present at “Everybody Loves Raymond”. The issue did “All in the Family” deal with that “Everybody Loves Raymond” doesn’t is living with parents. Because our changing cultural values and perspectives over time, the issues that deal within a family changed also. And it is still changing. Both of them had depicted the family life vividly in a certain period time and brought lots of fun to the audience.
