| 1 | Best known for his ground breaking situation comedies that featured families that regularly confronted major political and social issues of the day. |
| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | The best gift I've ever gotten, I've gotten every day of my life, and that's waking up. I love waking up. I'm a morning afternoon and evening person. There are two small words that are the most important words in the English language: 'over' and 'next'. |
| 2 | [ on being 90 years old] Suddenly I walk into a room, they're ready to applaud. I'm told how great I look all the time, and they don't mean beautiful. They mean, You're alive. |
| 3 | Life is made up of small pleasures. Happiness is made up of these tiny successes. And big ones come too infrequently. And if you don' t collect all those tiny successes, the big ones don't really mean anything. |
| # | Fact |
|---|---|
| 1 | Was a mentor to Seth MacFarlane. |
| 2 | First cousin of David Susskind. |
| 3 | A veteran of World War II who flew missions over Italy. |
| 4 | Godfather to actress Katey Sagal. |
| 5 | He was awarded the American National Medal of the Arts in 1999 by the National Endowment of the Arts in Washington D.C. |
| 6 | Acted as a consultant for Trey Parker and Matt Stone's South Park (1997) at the age of 80 years old. He assisted on South Park: Cancelled (2003) and came up with the idea of the giant talking taco. He also worked on the South Park: I'm a Little Bit Country (2003) episode. |
| 7 | Is a brother of the Phi Alpha Tau fraternity based out of Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts. |
| 8 | In 1980, he founded a public interest group "People For The American Way" which is a liberal group. |
| 9 | Supposedly based Archie Bunker, at least in part, on his own father. The elder Lear was a salesman and, by all accounts, a vulgar, reactionary bigot who was constantly railing against women and minorities. He consistantly referred to Afro-Americans as "schwartzes," a Yiddish-American term with racially perjoritive connotations, and once called young Norman "the laziest white kid I ever knew." |
| 10 | Long a renowned supporter of liberal political causes, he changed his party registration to Republican in 1980 and endorsed John Anderson for President, after calling the administration of Jimmy Carter a "complete disaster." |
| 11 | In 1959 Lear produced a pilot for a situation comedy called "Band of Gold" in which James Franciscus and Suzanne Pleshette played a different couple each week. The program was considered too "experimental" and was never broadcast. |
