You know that shit was funny. People need to stop being so offended over everything
@Angel Bulldog EXACTLY!!!!
Agreed.
I love All in the Family-the best show. And let's all start behaving like adults and not act like offended brats. Sticks and stones break my bones, and words should never hurt anyone. The social engineer's agenda is to divide the masses through race and color and have us fighting among each other. This is precisely what is happening today. Now we have hate crimes? Really?
I am gay and not offended. Archie was funny and in real life the actor did not have these views and opinions.
The sad thing is archie part was supposed to make him look stupid but in the long run allot of the crazy stuff he said came true.
Jeff Thompson same here. I LOL’d!
Me too Jeff. I was a kid when AITF came out and it's still one of the best comedy shows ever.
Same too Jeff. All in the family was a fantastic. It would never get a rebot today unfortunately.
Scott Hornby Yes they would. Any shows that make white people look like the racist they’ve been trying to portray them as.
This show was all about exposing stupidity about race and racism...and sexism...in real life Carol o'Conner (archie bunker) is pretty much the complete opposite of his character
Was he fied in 2005
I think Meathead was portraying a fool too.
@@timcarr6401 The actor still is.
Same with Jean Stapleton aka "Edith." She was actually very astute and quick-witted, the polar opposite of Edith's "ding bat" character.
RIP to Carrol O'Connor and Jean Stapleton. Two great actors!
The facial expressions of all the actors on this show were priceless!
We used to be able to speak freely back then and people didn't get so butt-hurt like today.
Exactly what I thought to comment. 😊
Nobody wants bigotry anymore
@@mikebryant7087 Well, speaking of butt-hurt...
It’s my choice if I’m offended or not. It’s no one else’s responsibility.
On the same note, my freedom of speech doesn’t end where someone else’s feelings begin.
I miss hearing shocking things all the time and no one breaking down in tears.
Try it in public..... Being a racist isn't cool ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡ - ✧)
The whole point of All in the Family and The Jeffersons was to take the underlining bigotry ( from both sides ) and shine a light on it. The comedy was to make you laugh but it was out there, in your face. No PC. Pure and raw. When the laughter was done, you thought about what they were talking about. Nothing was taboo for these shows. The put it out there in prime time TV for the masses to digest. Just like M.A.S.H. They turned the mirror on society and revealed the reality. There is no way these shows would exist today because society has gotten too soft to understand and deal with them. Another fantastic show was Good Times.
satoricrush thank you well said .
Loved Good Times!! And Sanford and Son...absolutely hysterical!!
@@donnatassa2018 Sanford and Son was the best thing ever. Loved me some Redd Foxx.
@@Dorelaxen I still watch reruns whenever it comes on. Growing up in the 70s and 80s was the best. Younger people today have no concept how great it was growing up a free- range kid and laughing our butts off. 🇺🇸😁👍
And Sanford and son...
George Jefferson played by Sherman hemsley was the black Archie bunker but it was all comedy and people get didn't easily offended back in the day
You sure? All in the family didn't get its share of backlash?
True.we laughed at George jeffersons comebacks as racism as much as we did archie..Sherman Helmsley was a better geoge I think because of his expressions.
@@nogoglobal This character is not "George" Jefferson. It is George's brother "Henry".
@@pattygadberry2464 that was George, when the Jefferson's got their own show he was recast and Sherman played him

Hi MRM! Some things to note: As others have said, this show was never about espousing Archie Bunker's views as the right way that people should think -- it was more to show how ridiculous those prejudicial views are, and were even then. Those who might call this show racist or misogynistic don't actually understand the show and don't realize that creator and producer Norman Lear actually had political and social views quite different from Archie's, as did Carroll O'Connor, the actor who played Archie.
This show actually played an important role in American society... yes, it was just a TV show but keep in mind there were only three major American television networks back then and no TH-cam or streaming opportunities or even VHS tapes to watch instead. "All in the Family" raised important issues, normally in a humorous way, and brought them into the mainstream. While most of us abhor people like Archie Bunker in real life, or just feel sorry for them, the character served an important role.
Very well put!
👍💯
well said
absolutely correct, I saw Rob Reiner( he plays Mike) in an interview once where he said he didn't think they ever had an episode where Archie won out with his views, it was more to show Archie as behind the times socially
Series creator Norman Lear was/is a leftist and never intended for the character Archie Bunker to be liked by the audiences. Archie's opinions were meant to be a parody of "right wing bigotry." However, Lear was shocked to find out the character was beloved by middle America, hence the popularity of the show. So no, most people didn't love the show because of it's left wing preachiness, but because they thought Archie roasting his atheist, commie son-in-law (and others) was hilarious.
The Archie Bunker show and The Jefferson's were two of the most racist, homophobic, genderslander, shows ever...and both were 2 of the greatest shows ever. Period. Anyone offended by any of this needs to understand that's a YOU problem not ours.
The shows were in no way racist or homophobic. Some of the characters on the shows may have been. But the whole point was to laugh at how stupid these characters were not to agree with them. If you do or did agree with them, you were missing the point. The show does not enforce racism or homophobia anymore than Law and Order enforces rape and murder.
@@chrisrenoir
Exactly.
Exactly except it wasnt racist or homophobic it just brought those issues to the forefront adults get the humor and deal with it
Homophobic is a made up weasel word.
The thing is some people like lemonade, others don’t. Everyone has a different taste in everything. Everyone has their own point of view. This show isn’t for everyone. We all are supposed to be grown adults. We don’t live in a cookie cutter world or we shouldn’t be. Why can’t we all respect each other’s opinions and differences. We’re not going to agree with everything that we see or hear. Peace everybody and Amen! ❤
This show was all about bringing cultural issues to the forefront for dicussion. It wasn't racist or phobic it was grounbreaking.
Open dialog without the fascism known as political correctness. Honest, descriptive language. It's a sad commentary on today's society that this show made over 50 years ago would have so many people screaming for censorship today because they can't handle it.
@@user-ut7bs9cf6u They can't handle it because so many in this country, especially the 18 to 35 year olds, are a bunch of (in Archie's words) sissies who need a safe place any time their feelings are hurt. What the PC crowd of today doesn't realize is that Archie Bunker showed us how foolish and ridiculous it is to be racist and sexist. Maybe they really believe that Archie was real or that he was an actual extension of the writers and producers of the show.
@@user-ut7bs9cf6uWe should have a show with open discussion about political correctness but it wouldn't be funny without Archie and his writers.
Besides the laughs there was always a lesson to be learned from "All In The Family" and "The Jeffersons". That's what made them so good.
This was totally normal when we were growing up 😂 lol
This was normal growing up.
It was satire. I was in high school when it was new. Talking with a teacher, I said that I refused to watch the show. He told me to watch again, because I had missed the point. And He was right. The Jeffersons was a spin-off and seemed to carry on the satire, but on the opposite side. I actually grew to like both shows.
Debbie Holoquist I had a history and current events class my senior year in H.S. On Friday’s we watched All In The Family and then had discussions.
I like both the shows and grew up with them as well. I like The Jeffersons best
Exactly, people forget these people are characters and not real. The show and characters werw written as they were to show the state of America and the two differing opinions. Archie was the old bigoted grump to Mike and Gloria’s feminist counter culture that was the youth of the time. Archie typically got put in his place by the end. Problem is not enough people are canals of grasping that and just take Archie at face value and just think this is a “show of the times” which is only partially correct
BTW, The Jefferson's were named as such in reference to the alleged affair between President Thomas Jefferson and his slave Sallie!
Show smashed through stereotypes.. It was lively stuff in those days.. Great cast
The beauty of All in the Family was that it showed both sides as his son in law always had the opposing view. Also, Archie was a bigot because he was raised that way and he eventually changed in later seasons as his views softened. He eventually took in his half-Jewish niece and had a Jewish business partner and an African American housekeeper who grew to respect and even defended her honor in one episode. If show bigotry but he was an equal opportunity bigot, and stereo-typed all races and genders.
I might be wrong but I think his house keeper was Hispanic. Doesn't matter it showed that Archie had mellowed.
Timothy Forsythe He did have a Hispanic boarder. The housekeeper I was thinking of was actually in the spin-off show Archie Bumkers Place. Her name was Mrs Camby I think.
@@VinE83656 Oh okay I really didn't watch much of Archie Bunkers Place. That was after the death of Edith. I kind of lost interest in the show after that.
When people could laugh without getting sued.....
THAT wasn't the point of "All in the Family" -- it still makes me angry 50 years later that people THINK "All in The Family" was glorifying racism - it was doing the OPPOSITE. It was making FUN of racists -- because they are pretty stupid.
It was never meant to be taken seriously. The joke was always on Archie. It was meant to show how ridiculous racism was.
Archie usually got it back on the end. One of the best episodes was when he met Sammy Davis Jr..
Watch a couple of full episodes to put it in context. People used Archie's racism to stick it back to him boss he was last to get the joke.
Yup.like blazing saddles. It made the racists out to be idiots, both Archie and George.
Archie was uneducated, stubborn, and naive! You laughed because of that!
It seems to me that it made both sides look ridiculous and also both sides occasionally said something that made sense. Archie was so over top off the wall that you had to laugh but sometimes Michael was over top off the wall that you had to roll your eyeballs. One way or the other it was probably the best ever sit com.
yeah hes even racist against other white people. pollacks, british pansays, german nazis, irish drunks, etc.
It started out that way, and with a much colder Edith character. But Caroll O Connor was so good at the role and the audiences loved him so much they changed the approach. In the end Archie was an all talk man of his times who's heart outweighed his brain in the end for most situations.
Bea Arthur (Dorothy on Golden Girls) made her debut on 'All in the Family' and got her own show (Maude) as a spin off.
Funny,u mention Maude. As I post this, it's 11:30 pm and Maude is on right now on one of those satellite channels near the end of the list.
Rue McClanahan played her best friend, Vivian, on the show.... I'm actually watching it tonight.
It's a shame they couldn't get this show made today because of outrage. The whole point isn't to revel in what Archie says, it's to point out that he's wrong. There are people like this in the world, and it should be ok to show them the same way it's ok to show any villain in a comic book movie. They are bad too. You aren't supposed to cheer for them. Audiences can learn from this. I can just see people's heads exploding off of something like this today. It would be a demand for boycotts online and marching in the streets.
And it was created by a Jewish guy
Yup, most people aren’t capable of critical thinking 🤦🏻♂️
They actually did a live TV broadcast of All in the Family and Good Times with new actors of course. Back in May 2019 and another Dec 18th 2019.
Sad but true. You'd have a better chance of remaking "Blazing saddles"
@@grondinolaf They had to bleep out a couple words though.
Love this show.Between the jeffersons and all in the family you saw all the racist remarks that would never fly today.We had a sense of humor back then and could laugh at things but knew not to take them serious.It showed us that yes there were people in the world like that.
Hey MRM, how's it going? Just letting you know that as a gay Puerto-rican man, I never took offense at the things said on this show, as I know it was about showing the idiocy of bigotry (Carroll O'Connor, who played Archie Bunker, was actually very open-minded, even by today's standards). As I've seen said by others on this channel, Archie was an Equal Opportunity Bigot, lol, he hated EVERYONE who wasn't him. But I was never butt-hurt by the jokes as I knew the situations, the time, and the fact that so many ppl in real life talk like this, and besides, the show was actually funny and one of my fave tv comedies of all-time. Just so you know the skinny: Archie is the blue-collar patriarch, raised in a very bigoted part of Queens, NY, and very close-minded, but he always learned an important lesson before the end of the shows; Edith is his wonderfully dizzy wife, naiive, innocent (some would say simple) but she was the heart of the family so much so that as much as ppl hated Archie, they all loved Edith); Gloria, their "Little Goil", the independent woman, and her husband Mike (Meathead), whose liberal, democratic values always got under his father-in-law's skin like nothing else--unless you count some of his greatest enemies on the show, George Jefferson, played amazingly by the late great Sherman Hemsley and his fantastic wife Louise, the equally talented Isabel Sanford; their Irish-Catholic next door neighbor the outspoken Irene Lorenzo; and Edith's liberal, feminist cousin Maude (played by the great Beatrice Arthur, who plays the sarcastic Dorothy on Golden Girls--which I know you've also been reacting to, so if you think about what a great comedian she is you'll understand how awesome her showdowns with her polar opposite Archie were, as he always said about Maude whenever the family brought her up "Geez, I hate that dame!" Her later spinoff show was also great, but my two favorites were always All in the Family & The Jeffersons. Anyway, sorry about that tangeant, just got carried away as I don't anyone else with the cojones to react to this show, here's hoping you do to many more--personal hint: ANYTHING from the FIRST FIVE SEASONS WAS GOLD. I wanted to put my two cents in about possibly offending people with the content...just put up your disclaimer at the beginning and get to enjoying, as I've said as a gay latino man, I am not offended in the least, in fact I laugh along with the audience as we get a front-row seat to some of the best written, and best-acted ensembles in tv history...and we all can't wait for Archie to get his in the end...and he always did, lol. Peace, kids!
Frankie Flannery yeah buddy unfortunately I’m gonna have to agree with you on that one, ppl are way too easily butthurt to just roll with it. I can hope for it though, lol. Peace man
Then if you haven’t seen it ((but probably have)) you need to see the movie Blazing Saddle
I grew up with all of these shows and love them all still
This is from a time when we could laugh at ourselves. We would sling jokes between friends that made light of the issues and by doing so take away the power of those that tried to hurt people.
If you do The Jeffersons, be aware that "this Mr Jefferson" is a different actor than the one who played the character in the spin-off series, Sherman Helmsley.
It's actually a different character, George Jefferson's brother Henry. Sherman Helmsley had already been cast as George, but he had a prior commitment, so he wasn't available to shoot the first few episodes George was scheduled to appear in. So they wrote in this character of George's brother to take his place until Helmsley was available.
If I remember correctly, they appeared together in only one episode, and then Henry was never seen again.
I grew up on Archie, even as a kid, I knew the way Archie thought was just ignorance and lack of knowledge. As others have said, each episode taught this old man his way wasn't necessarily the right way.
A time where political correctness didn’t exist man I miss these times. Very funny stuff
The world was a much better place before political correctness.
Better for "who"?
They didn't say it to be offensive RANDALL (though you probably were happy at what he said) , they were showing how ignorant he was. You know, kind of like you?
I wouldn't know "political Correctness" if I stepped in it and had to scrape it off the soles of my shoes. ALL races are prejudice, "All In The Family" and "The Jeffersons" simply made fun of BOTH sides of the same coin.
@@Retroearthling Name calling means you lost the arguement. Shows how PC is really about intolerance. Just because you disagree with someone elses views doesn't license you to shut them up. I know you have been taught PC your whole life but it is false and un-american at it's core. People shouldn't say those things because of kindness not because of internet thuggery and intolerance. Celebrate free speech, even things you don't like or disagree with. Unless you want to join up with the Stasi suppress your neighbors. You kids really have no clue of the fire you play with.
So true! Miss the good old days
O’Conner was brilliant as Archie, that role was his and his only ...
This show is not only hilarious, it also a ton of moments that'll rip your heart out and leave you crying like a baby; then it'll make you laugh through your tears.
this show was all abut breaking down all social barriers of the day ,, we could certainly use something like this today but totally 100% impossible in today's i need a safe place climate
This is my dads favorite show. No one ever got their feelings hurt back then and it was funny
It was sarcasm. The show was a criticism of those views
One of the funniest shows ever.Try reviewing blazing saddles.
The greatest comedy movie of all time! Mel Brooks was called a racist as well. Those detractors missed the point of the movie which was that people can come together and erase the predispositions they used to have in regards to race, etc.
He was not like that AT ALL in real life..in fact imma tell ya about some tv goings ons. After Carroll died, Sherman Hemsley called the Larry King show and told how things all went about. When they were casting for George Jefferson, Sherman Hemsley's agent told him to go audition for the role of George Jefferson. Sherman was like I dunno about that, that's a hugely popular show. but he went on ahead and went to the audition. He was very nervous, But Carroll put his arm around his shoulder gave him a reassuring smile and said You''l do fine which put him at tremendous ease. And said lets go through some lines. After they got done. Carroll looked at him, the cast/ crew and said He's our George Jefferson. And the rest is tv history.
@Bobby Brady Same here
All in the Family was a groundbreaking show. It highlighted bigotry in a way that hadn't been before. Caroll O'Connor was brilliant in his portrayal of Archie Bunker.
If it weren't for this show, ( I grew up watching it,) it opened up conversations about many different issues. Not being white, not being gay, etc..in today's PC world, this would have been banned.
That's exactly what it was doing, that's why it was so ground breaking and unique. It opened up avenues for people to discuss topics openly and honestly. It was a great show.
Norman Lear was a genius and so were all the actors on this show
Humor is funny. He was made to be ridiculous because it is funny! People can lighten up and laugh a little. Makes you feel better.
The point of the show was to demonstrate how silly it was to be like Archie. It had the nerve to talk about what other shows wouldn't.
I love all of them, Sanford and Son, Maude, Jefferson's etc
You really need to look at some more episodes of all in the family to realize that they are just making fun of everybody it’s absolutely hilarious.
This is just the tip of the iceberg..
You're only just scratching the surface when it comes to Archie Bunker.
Back in those days, (before I was even born) they could get away with saying things like that on television.
You are a good man and he enjoy your videos God bless you
Why would anyone "flag" the greatest sitcom of all time?
The black tv show "The Jeffersons" was a spin off from this show.
All in the Family and Sanford and Son aired at the same time period . It was used to address issues through comedy. It definitely got things out in the open. I always wanted Archie and Fred Sanford to get together. 😆
It’s only controversial when you CAN’T talk about it.
I loved this show. I'm glad you did this. To days world gets but hurt to easy.
All In The Family is a classic. And from a time when we could laugh at ourselves and not take things too seriously. When everybody wasn't a victim.
One of my favorite Archie lines is "I'm sorry sweetheart, would you rather have them get thrown out of windows?" X'D
Backstory: The debate over guns. His daughter was saying how guns are "evil". So, Archie said that in the case of bad guys. Lol!
Hey MRM... Luv luv ur reaction to All n the Family. Your facial expressions r priceless .. u cracked me up!! Have a blessed evening😊
I grew up watching this show and it always made us laugh.
This was the 70's and there wasn't any bleeding heart SJW's to get hurt feelings over the words
just remember...this was from the 1970's when racial tensions were high
even in the 70's the show was just comedy / satire - to show how wrong it was to be ignorant of others and it did show all people are human, also that some people needed to be more humane.
I grew up in a town ( in the 70's ) where most people got along and one could see tension more between people for their sexuality than the color of their skin. the 60's as I have been told were more racial ( not that there is anything good about being prejudice against others in any way )
@@ROTTK9 the archie bunker that shows in the clip, is still the dominating view in the south today where I live. I know it was supposed to be comedy and it is for the people that don't live in the south. It is reality
This show left a huge mark on tv, and was the birthplace of Maude, Good Time, The Jeffeson's, Archie Bunker's Place, Gloria, and a couple more.
The Sammy Davis Jr. episode is the best. And the swinger episode is hilarious and touching, no pun intended.
ROFLOL! I love your disclaimer😂😂😂
All in the Family was the CBS version of pure Anti-Politically Correct. The show was also the first time that you heard a toilet flushing on a tv show in the USA.
I wonder if you got knew what Mike was up to when he did the Groucho Marx impression? I guess many young people might not know much about the Marx Brothers.
We need MORE Archie Bunkers in the world!
Thanks. Now I'm off to watch All In The Family! LOVE this show!
My father was built like Archie , grey hair and wore a similar winter coat. Everyone called him Archie . I never heard my dad ever make a racist comment , He was never happy about the comparison.
The good old days......All In The Family & The Jefferson's were my favorite shows.....to bad everything is so pc now, no more free to speak how u want & now also becoming no more free to think how you want........sad.
I hope you get to The Jeffersons. In this clip you saw . On the show Lionel was the first African American character and Norman Lear had the shows producer had plans to bring in his parents and that they would live next door to The Bunkers . Louise's husband George was introduced in this episode for the first time at the going away party for his brother Henry. They had hired an actor Sherman Hemsley to play George, but at the time he was on Broadway in the musical Purlie . So George came on the show a year after his family had already being there. After another year the Jeffersons got their own show as George when from owning two til Seven Dry Cleaners. By the time the show when off the air in the mid 80's George own 13 dry cleaners.
I absolutely LOVE the Jefferson's! Such a great show, especially the early seasons.
This was prime time television growing up in the 1970s. Norman Lear loved to push his issues with a mix of lecturing and humor. When all is said and done, what remains was some funny, brave and incendiary television. We never repeated Archie Bunker's lines because we considered them his own and life went on without anyone getting their noses out of joint. Today it's a different world where that distinction is no longer being made.
back when they did not worry about offending someone
You should see the clip when Sammy Davis, Jr. Was on the show and gives Archie a kiss
Smart, creative, funny and thought provoking television.. Groundbreaking...loved your honest reactions...
Just tripped into MRM’s videos looking though TH-cam. Man this is a ton of great content.
you are about to be introduced to a whole different world. you must understand..
This show was ground breaking.
He was the most loved bigot who had always learned about himself by the end of EACH episode.. to better understand this world.. and to change his views.. he sure did. ..
Caroll O'Connor..who played Archie.. had a difficult struggle with this iconic role
It hurt him in his heart. playing this rol at times. cuz people really thought that he was like Archie
💔
Which he 💯 was nothing like at all.
Please please please research him. Interviews.. You'll be pleasantly pleased.
Victoria Emanuel Yes he was an actor and he did a great job people are very foolish to attribute the character of an acting role to the actor.
The Jeffersons was a spin off of this show..It was funny but showed how it was back then..for Women, people of different races, and ethnicities back in the 70s LOL but Archie was an equal opportunity Bigot..lol most of us are not easily offended
Christie Sapp-Bilky and Maude (with Bea Arthur) was a spin-off...or connected as Maude was Edith’s cousin.
@@laurakali6522 loved that show too :)
you sir . crack me up . I used to love watching Archie Bunker!!After seeing your rant at the school board meeting you have even more respect from me! good on you sir!
You are cool. Been subbed for awhile.
And this my friend...is why us old people don’t get offended and run around triggered all the time. Listen to Fred Sanford or Richard Pryor. Racial comedy was flying from all camps. I never heard of anybody (and I mean ANYBODY) being offended by any comedians. Oh yeah, that was back in the day when we could laugh at ourselves.
The world has gotten a little on the umm soft side? Too many people extremely sensitive about everything. That's why this show was able to work back than, if it came out today people would be going crazy.
This is my first video watched from this channel. Absolutely subscribing.
I love your video's I grew up in the 60's and 70's. These shows are classic!
Archie was a bigot and never realized it lol but every episode he learned a lesson and was proven wrong. The Jefferson's were a spin off of this show and was same content as this... George Jefferson was the same as Archie.
I think the same could be said of George as well, he always learned by the end of the episode and you saw this man had a good heart, even though he didn't show it until the end.
The original Till death do us part was better
That was a different Mr Jefferson. You should watch The Jeffersons.
N L Sherman Hensley was brilliant
That character was not "George" Jefferson.
It was George's brother "Henry".
This was must-see TV!! This show shined a light on the prejudices of ignorant people and taught you something every week! I can't believe this aired over 50 years ago. Gracious, I'm old!
One of our greatest shows of all time. Writers, Directors, Actors all pure gems and stand the test of time.
Love your show
Edith was the gem of all mothers! The funniest stuff is when Archie has conversations with the neighbor Lionel!!! This show really is timeless. Everything they fought about back then is still the same problems we have today!
LOL, I was LMBO at your reaction!
Btw, All in the Family was the number one sitcom during its run.
The Jefferson's and Maude were spinoffs from that show.
I was at my parents house and about 18 years old. I was watching this show debut, had to get my parents to come see it !! I knew it was way different, doing something New and probably controversial. I loved it and so did my parents. What a show, and it helped other shows be ground breaking ,too.
Refreshing!
I remember watching this show every week. My favorite show because it reminded me of relatives I had. Then continued watching The Jefferson’s every week when their show started.
Archie was actually a very sensitive man. Over the years his show showed how he evolved by standing up for anyone no matter their color or gender. He was a wonderful character and this show was just to be outrageous at first. When Edith dies, Archie showed his true colors. Edith was a gem and she knew Archie’s true self or she wouldn’t have married him. He was such a grouch! The show continued into Archie Bunker’s Place. 💞🙂
Lol that was funny as hell!
Carroll O’Conor (Archie) was actually a very liberal person in real life.
The Good Ole Days Of 70's Comedies. I Luv It.
Ty I glad to see you laughing this was on prime time watched it every time it came on, also watched Sanford and Son never missed a show in fact I still catch old Fred once in a while.
This is pushing it.So funny and very blunt.Archie.😀😀😀it’s comedy!!!
This show was on my TV when I was still in high school. January 12, 1971, to April 8, 1979
bless you brother,
I love the expressions on the faces of the younger generations enjoying this show…I grew up during this time in history, and I miss how we could laugh together and at each other, back then
ALL AROUND , WHAT A GREAT SHOW .
Ty, Archie Bunker's chair is in the Smithsonian Institute's National Museum of American History.
Also, _loved_ your disclaimer after it was over! =)
The show painted an accurate description of the times back then. My father was very similar to Archie Bunker. A decent man in many respects, but also extremely flawed in his view of anyone that was different from him. Thankfully, we have come a long way since then. We still have a ways to go though.
People learned a lot about life from Archie, he was a great actor that brought forward the issues of our country
Great reaction. I was very young when this came out. Most of it went over my head till I was older. It was a funny show.
