like any other show, let's turn on maude, we don't know what the episode is about, oh it's about abortion. that's the way the american families and american people handled it. nothing happened, i'm sure there were some letters but there was no big stir because we had done a show on the subject. that families lived with all the time. but after, when the show went into reruns come april, may, by then the religious right said oh that show's coming back they're going to be rerunning that. then they were ready. then they made all the noise. >> the theme song itself was controversial, it talked about god being a woman, right? >> was that controversial? who knows, god to be a woman. you know, no -- i mean it's very interesting that nobody's come back to tell us. we just don't know. >> what do we know about god? >> ha ha. i think what people know about god is, comes from the way they've been raised. and i think they should honor it the way they do. but it should live within the family. within the church. within the pew, within the individual's compact and they are all different with their creator

and maude -- [ inaudible ] amazing comparison to last night.eally amazing atmosphere out here right now. >> quite remarkable what we're seeing. we're seeing pictures of people who got into an intersection and laid down. stopped traffic for what appeared to be a minute, and then got up and moved on. what are you seeing in this crowd? >> it is completely mixed. people from all backgrounds. like i said an older guy here. people are here, you know, calling out slogans and people just marching silently. they have come to the end of the bridge now, but seem to still be going. there is still a lot of energy here. >> are there still people on the brooklyn bridge at the moment? >> as far as i can see, they have cleared it now. but it covered the whole bridge when we were on it. i think they are going to move on. >> what is the mood you are seeing out there? an interaction with police, are the police all around the protesters? >> i saw some nypd community police say something with the guys from statton island. it's very peaceful. and very much in solidar

its creator norman leer is also the man bhienlt the sitcoms "sanford & son," "one day at a time," "maudeman, mary hartman." >> i want to start out with the name, "even this i get to experience." >> i've come to understand it's kind of an attitude of getting up every morning. i get to look at the posters and my book and even this. i get to experience. >> i want to talk about "all in the family." every week we all sat down and watched it and everybody says there was such wonderful social comementary commentary. was it by design? >> it wasn't so much by design. it was men and women writers, prue deesers, directors, and we were relating to our experiences as parents, as fathers as children. we were scraping the barrel of our own experience. we weren't looking to do anything that was obvious. >> but you were pushing the envelope. you made the nixons' enemy list and jerry fall well. >> and didn't carroll o'connor say he didn't know if the audience would trust him and like him? >> that was an honest question. since i grew up hearing everything we had to do with in schoolyards let alone in homes

estimate that i have saved more $5,000 in all, which in addition to my part-time work as a waiter has maud my decision to pursue my career as an independent consultant more viable. i believe and isn't that american. thanks to the aca i'm able to take control over my own future instead of finding and staying at an undesirable job because i can't sacrifice my health insurance. i no longer feel marginalized. i no longer need to resolve to inadequate coverage. late they are week i have an point to look into my options for 2015. i have the confidence i will shop for a plan without fear of rejection or exclusion for coverage. i can do the research to find a plan that will meet any needs. finally when my old plan was cancelled, i thought i was going to get similar coverage at the same cost. the unexpected thrill i felt after i enrolled was not only because i'm covered but i'm participating in history. at the end of the day, i'm an ordinary man with a good education and from a health family. if the affordable care act can help me, i believe it can help anyone. thank you very much for your time. >>
