Front Row Classics celebrates the legacy of 'All in the Family' with writer Jim Colucci

Classics All In the Family Author Jim Colucci

Front Row Classics welcomes television writer and historian Jim Colucci to celebrate one of the most groundbreaking series in television history. Brandon recently had the pleasure of speaking to Jim about the history and legacy of "All in the Family," as touched upon in his latest book. The two cover topics such as the show's inception, the incomparable cast and some of the most memorable episodes. They also touch upon some of the trailblazing topics that hadn't been discussed before in sitcoms. We hope this delightful conversation will inspire you to go back and re-discover this television classic that remains as provocative, touching and hilarious as ever.

"All in the Family: The Show that Changed Television" is now available from Universe Publishing wherever books are sold.

Jim Colucci covers television and other entertainment media on his blog "Must Hear TV." He is the author of the authorized companion book "Will & Grace: Fabulously Uncensored" (2004), "The Q Guide to the Golden Girls" (2006), and the New York Times best-seller "Golden Girls Forever" (2016).
