Hall of Fame Legend: Norman Lear 
Norman Lear not only shaped the television landscape with his groundbreaking sitcoms like “All in the Family,” “The Jeffersons” and “Maude,” he was a pioneer for reflecting modern culture. Sitcoms like “Leave it to Beaver” and “The Brady Bunch,” while entertaining, portrayed an idyllic family-life where the biggest problems centered around a lost watch or a broken nose. Yes, escapism is important in television. But some TV shows have a greater calling -- to educate the audience about the “other” that they may not be faced with in their own life. The “other” could be issues of race, war, poverty, equal rights. We give more access to TV characters into our living rooms and lives than most will ever give to strangers. It’s why moments like music icon Sammy Davis Jr. kissing TV’s bigoted Archie Bunker (Carroll O'Connor) on the cheek matter. When reality can be depicted on the small or big screen, it can have a lasting impact on how we view each other in society. Lear’s style is echoed in any modern sitcom that takes a “risk” in what they portray. He didn’t just change TV, he changed the hearts and minds of viewers with a backdrop of laughter. - Aprille Hanson-Spivey​

Hall of Fame Show: Gunsmoke
In the late ‘50s through the mid-‘60s network television’s primetime was dominated by Westerns. “Gunsmoke” was the most successful of this period and did so well it lasted 20 seasons from 1955-1975 on CBS. The show featured James Arness as Marshall Matt Dillon, deputies played by Dennis Weaver and Ken Curtis at different times during the run, Milburn Stone as Doc Adams and Amanda Blake as barmaid Kitty Russell, but what was really interesting about the show is it would often push the cast to the backburner for many episodes and essentially act as an anthology series telling the story of different characters featuring a litany of guest stars. Unlike a lot of television series from its era episodes of “Gunsmoke” still hold up today and this anthology-like aspect of the show leads to things not getting boring overtime – which is important as the show aired a record for a primetime drama 635. When “Gunsmoke” ended in 1975 it was eulogized by Los Angeles Times critic Cecil Smith with: “’Gunsmoke’ was the dramatization of the American epic legend of the West. Our own Iliad and Odyssey, created from standard elements of the dime novel and the pulp Western as romanticized by [Ned] Buntline, [Bret] Harte and [Mark] Twain. It was ever the stuff of legend.”
