"All in the Family" made fun about many of the problems of the 1970s. The show consisted of a family headed by a somewhat bigoted father, a loyal and loving wife, and a daughter and son-in-law who were 180 degrees opposite of her father's thinking.

This episode has been promoted as the most requested episode of the series.

11. Who won the award given for the Superest Super Hero?

This was a tough decision as evil sisters in two of the shows were both well developed and interesting characters.

Diahann Carroll was one of the first actresses to break through as an African-American in a role in what is considered classic TV. A single woman raising a child was also something that TV of the 1960's was careful in showing.

All of these are good shows and can be seen in reruns on "TV Land" and other channels. At the time "Star Trek" didn't do well and lasted only 3 seasons beginning in 1966. After it ended however it would not go away. Today it is known for the many movies and spinoffs that have been born from the show.
