[@williamrice71]

I was born in 79 but I still grew up with all in the family and especially the jeffersons. Archie Bunker and George Jefferson were both bigots and ogres, they were flawed characters but at the end of the day they were decent men in thier own stubborn and small minded ways. By the social moral standards of today they would be on the fringe...especially archie bunker but back in the 70s everybody had someone like that in thier family or at least knew somebody like that. No room for political correctness and all just good laughs!! Because they represented real characters so well!

The scene is hilarious, but its whole purpose was to expose, through ridicule, the baseless bigotry that remained endemic to the older generation of that period.

There is not room for people to have real encounters where they can explore their attitudes and show their vulnerabilities because everyone is always guarded and ready pounce. on anyone who does open up and the language police and puritans are always looking for any chance to label someone "racist" just as the puritans labelled anyone who disagreed with them a witch or the McCarthyites labelled anyone who criticized the system as a commie.

So happy that people still look up All in the Family. 250k views in a month ❤. Even tho I was born in the 90s, no show catches my interest quite like this one

"It's a picture of some people." That was the hardest I ever laughed at anything on this show.

Yeah why is that ...now a days I feel like actors don't have this kind of talent. Its all about beauty and little substance. Even watching many actors today...I haven't come across many with this kind of talent.

One of my favorite episodes was when a Porta Rican was moving in across the street, and for the first time Archie and George Jefferson agree on something. They both were upset that a Porta Rican was moving in the neighborhood.

[@stovingtonprep3783]

"Porta"?

[@Dana-wq5tp]

Actually it was Archie and George's brother Henry.

[@JennaLeigh]

Puerto Rican. "Porto" isn't a word. Can't help noticing these comment sections are overrun with people longing for this kind of humor, decrying today's "PC Culture", yet misnaming and misspelling cultures and races far worse than Archie Bunker. And sadly they're real- and decades removed.🤦🤦🤦🤦

[@Dana-wq5tp]

@@JennaLeigh Welcome to the "dumbing down of America," Jenna. We're bringing up a generation of illiterates who can't write, spell, talk, add, subtract, multiply, etc...Reading KZbin comments is a perfect example of it. I can immediately identify a young person without even knowing who they are. Scary to think what this Country's going to be like over the next 50 years.

[@kittyprydekissme]

@@JennaLeigh You are correct. However, from 1898, when the US took over, until 1931 the official spelling was changed to Porto Rico. I guess they thought it was easier for Americans, but Congress finally changed it back after years of complaints. I used to have a few old National Geographics with the Porto spelling.

I grew up with Archie Bunker. What is missing in this clip is Archie's salvation. I think kids watching just this short clip will miss that there was more depth to this episode and, indeed, whole series.

[@cousinjimmy2638]

Indeed. Archie Bunker was a bigot, but it didn't come from a place of hatred but ignorance. A big part of the tantrum was grounded in the difficulty an interracial couple could face. Later on he buys his niece a Star of David, which is one of the most heart rending scenes in all of television.

[@edwardbrindley7572]

Oooh to good old days of no one getting offended..😉🤣🤣🤣

[@bridgetortiz7520]

I miss these times, when you could laugh and have fun because people could be themselves. I never felt like these shows made me " rascist". They helped people to understand different cultures and have a good time. Cancel culture fails to realize that taking everything away ,doesn't solve anything. People are stil going to be people . If you don't like someone, thats your personal choice. You don't need to burn down a whole community or take away history. That definitely will not bridge the cultural gap.

[@kidlitfanful]

No-one's offended by this now, its not taking Archie's side in his racism. The problem is fans of the show who miss the point and talk about how Archie "tells it like it is!"

Norman Lear gave his wonderful actors excellent material and they ran with it magnificently. Today there would be too much fear to show all of the sides of racism and many of the other issues that were discussed on Lear's shows. It would be seen as politically incorrect, but that's where many young people today are missing the education that a show like this provided. These characters aren't black and white...no pun intended. There is a lot of gray to characters like Archie and it's in his grayness that we find the true gold of a show like this. Lear's hook was making you think it was all about comedy, but it was really about the lessons learned. His insite into our shared humanity is a beautiful thing to behold! If you haven't checked out his other shows, I encourage you to do so...each is like a fine work of art...each a masterpiece.

[@crmay72]

Wow, so beautifully stated!

[@marywood8794]

@@crmay72 Thank you.

[@770WT]

It has nothing g to do with being politically incorrect . Norman Lear is a big time Liberal . Archie's bigotry was meant to educate people about the racism and stupidity of a middle age man .

[@jerrscott6373]

Norman Lear was far to the left of center and created the character of Archie Bunker to mock conservatives. His intentions were that America would come to despise Archie Bunker. In fact, just the opposite happened. They embraced the character minus the racism. As a result, Norman Lear softened the character of Archie Bunker in the later episodes including Archie Bunker"s Place.

[@marywood8794]

@@jerrscott6373 I don't disagree with you that Lear is a liberal, but both Archie and Mike get their come uppance on All in the Family. That is my favorite part of the show. Neither the extreme liberal nor the extreme conservative gets it completely right. Everyone gets things wrong even when they think they're doing right. Nobody is perfect. At least shows like All in the Family talked about important issues without being stymied by political correctness. If we talked more openly and freely about our issues, we would be better off as a country.
