Till Death Us Do Part was another one that made its debut as a Comedy Playhouse episode in July 1965. The first series began about a year later and continued sporadically until the mid-70's. Many episodes are lost and some in the archive have yet to find their way into my hands.
Till Death was somewhat controversial with a lead character having views unpopular with the PC crowd. Norman Lear "borrowed" the idea for All In The Family. The program was revived in the early 80's for 6 episodes and then brought back under a new name (In Sickness And In Health) in the mid-80's where it enjoyed a pretty good run into the early 90's and some 40 episodes.
