Peter Fenzel, Mark Lee, and Matthew Wrather explore the legacy of Norman Lear (1922–2023) by considering the episode &#8220;Two&#8217;s A Crowd&#8221; from Season 8 of All in the Family and &#8220;The Big Move,&#8221; the 2-part Season 4 opener of Good Times. They discuss the stylistic, (sit)comic, and thematic aspects of both shows, and try to grapple with which file drawer to sick Norman Lear&#8217;s legacy in.
