5 Best & 5 Worst US TV Remakes
3. All In The Family (Till Death Do Us Part) 
Following the life of curmudgeonly patriarch Alf Garnett, Till Death Do Us Part was one of the BBCs most successful sitcoms throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Realistically depicting working class life in Londons East-End, the show was ground-breaking for the way in which it dealt with political and racial issues, with Alf Garnetts frequent uses of racist terminology making the show often uncomfortable viewing. While Garnetts views were depicted as despicable and wrongheaded with Alf often being ridiculed for his opinions to this day the show remains controversial for its up-front content. The success of Till Death Do Us Part led to it becoming one of the earliest and most successful US TV remakes in 1971 with All in the Family. Aside from switching Londons Wapping to New Yorks Queens, and renaming the Garnett family to the Bunker family, little else was changed to the overall tone of the show. Much like its UK counterpart, All in the Family was just as ground-breaking for the way in which it dealt with social and political issues, and the way it handled the bigoted views of working-class WWII veteran Archie Bunker. Running for almost ten years, All in the Family was a huge hit for CBS, leaving behind a lasting legacy which can be seen by the numerous references in shows like The Simpsons and Family Guy (check out the opening credits) while lead character Archie Bunker has become one of TVs classic characters
