The first three seasons are the best-it really started to fall apart during season four (it's last). I was unsure of seeing this again on DVD but-it still works! It's dated of course (especially in the clothes and hair styles) and it's nowhere near as shocking as it once was, but it's still very funny and the cast works exceptionally well together. Also it had a great cast-Katherine Helmond and Cathryn Damon especially (both won Emmys for their work on this).
It dealt with senility, racism, adultery, murder, sex.all in a funny manner! Also it had the first positive gay character on TV-Jodie played by Billy Crystal (in fact he said many gay men thanked him for how well he played it). Naturally every high school kid in the country tuned in! It was ahead of its time. The original airings had a warning saying that "some material may not be suitable for younger viewers". I was in high school and this played at 9:30 at night.
