How Norman Lear Deftly Balanced Comedy with Drama

TVC 583.5: Ed, Tony, Donna, and writer, producer, and author Jay Moriarty (The Jeffersons, All in the Family, Honky in the House) discuss how episodes such as “The Draft Dodger,” “Florence’s Problem,” and “The First Store” are just a few examples of Norman Lear’s trademark balancing of uproarious comedy with serious topical issues. Jay’s memoir, Honky in the House, takes you behind the scenes of not only The Jeffersons, but Tandem Productions in general. His new book, Deadeye, pays homage to Roy Rogers, The Lone Ranger, The Cisco Kid, and other favorite movie and TV cowboys. Want to advertise/sponsor our show?
