All In the Family and Everybody Loves Raymond

     Television comedies have changed in many ways by the decades it seems. And as shows change along with the world, so does the situations and mentalities displayed in each episode. All and the Family and Everybody Loves Raymond are different in many ways and are the same in some.

    

One reason why Everybody Loves Raymond is different from All in the Family is that Everybody Loves Raymond is more acceptable with certain views of life that All in the Family was. For instance, as Archie was totally against the homosexual way of life, he reflected a harsh view upon a percentage of people. Everybody Loves Raymond doesn't quite contain the harsh tone towards something like homosexuality. As the times change and ways of life become acceptable, so does the portrayal in television sitcoms like Everybody Loves Raymond. These two shows are similar in the way that they both bring up topics in there episodes that deal with modern issues like accepting homosexuality, but are different in that one displays a level of acceptance and the other not so much.

     Everybody Loves Raymond does not deal with gender roles and gender discrimination as much as shows like All in the Family does. As the times change and women become more independent than they were in the 70's so does their portrayal in television sitcoms.
