Norman Lear, a TV icon and titan, has passed at the age of 101. The screenwriter and producer changed the landscape of television with his hit TV series as well as the medium of the sitcom as a whole. Lear did this by including political and social work into his storytelling which opened up the breadth of what programming could talk about, discuss, and bring to the attention of the at-home audience.

Best known for The Jeffersons, All in the Family, Maude, Good Times, Sanford and Son, and One Day at a Time, Lear revolutionized television. Norman Lear’s shows became household favorites that have endured for decades and continue to be introduced to new viewers every day. Pluto TV is honoring Lear with a marathon that starts Wednesday, Dec. 6, giving longtime fans of his work and those interested in watching his series the opportunity to stream some of them for free.
