[edit] South Park

Didn't he help write an episode of the popular animated series? I think that's worth mentioning in the main article. --M.Neko 13:11, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The introduction of this article is way, way too long

I'll work on it when I have time, but please feel free to tinker with the length if you see this message. The intro is more or less the meat of the article, which is not the Wikipedia standard. Moncrief 21:19, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture of Norman Lear

Can somebody Upload a picture of Norman? I'm Afraid of doing it.

[edit] Article needs improvement

This article is in need of much work, including addition of an Infobox, heavy-handed copy editing and wikification (conformity to WP:STYLE), reorganization, references for the content (WP:CITE), and editorial balance (WP:NPOV). It reads like most it was written by the subject's PR rep, but one who is in serious need of a good copy editor.

[edit] Where was he born?

The article used to say that Norman Lear was born in New Haven, Connecticut, but an anon IP who seems to live in Estherville, Iowa edited the article to say Mr. Lear was born there. Does anyone know the truth? Shalom ^Hello 01:16, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

The IMDB and the Museum of Broadcast Communications both have him listed as being born in New Haven. I'd say they trump an anon from IA. —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 23:50, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
