The show came about when Norman Lear read an article in&nbsp;<em>Variety<\/em>&nbsp;magazine on&nbsp;<em>Till Death Us Do Part<\/em>&nbsp;and its success in the United Kingdom. He immediately knew it portrayed a relationship just like the one between his father and himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The show aired on&nbsp;CBS&nbsp;for eight seasons (1971\u201379) and when Edith, played by Jean Stapleton left the show it continued from 1979 to 1983 under the title&nbsp;<em>Archie Bunker\u2019s Place<\/em>. It won four&nbsp;Emmy Awards&nbsp;in a row for outstanding comedy series. Much of its success came from its frank and satirical treatment of sensitive or important topics, such as race, gender, sex,&nbsp;bigotry, and social inequity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/vic-ritchey.pixels.com\/\" style=\"border-radius:16px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BUY PRINTS AND MORE<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In painting this set, as in all my TV Sitcom or Celebrity paintings, each individual is on a 4&#215;12 Canvas.
