Lear passed away in his Los Angeles home on Dec. 5. He was 101 years old.
The prolific writer and producer changed television forever, as some of his most iconic shows — including “Good Times” and “Sanford and Son” — portrayed American life with a grounded realism that differed starkly from the escapism of the 1950s and ’60s.
