What I always find amazing about the rights endorsement and awe of Archie Bunker. Is the fact that Carrol O'Connor and the shows create Norman Lear were very Liberal people. His Archie creation made fun of right-wing lunacy! Archie is a parody of ridiculous right-wing thought. Guess he was too subtle, because the right missed that. They are being made fun of, but instead they see Archie as a hero. Go figure!

[@ScottALanter]

@@gerryyaum The right didn't miss a thing. As we've learned over time, Archie Bunker, the character, turned out to be right. The left took this nation down a moral sewer.

[@kendallrivers1119]

​@gerryyaum And Meathead was a parody of left wing idiots who overcompensated for their own prejudices so the show took shots at both ideologies. But maybe that went over your head. 😂

[@desitterspace2127]

Not anymore!

[@Attmay]

That lyric is more proof that this show is an attack on normalcy. Every single Norman Lear show has this degenerate buckbreaker propaganda. He is the caretaker of the graveyard where the Slave Party buried every civil rights and social reform movement in this country. And his reign of TV terror helped Joe Biden into power to help keep the same ball rolling for neoliberal emasculation and imperialism. Even the *Good Times* co-creator Eric Monte rightly called him “a racist, a liar, a thief, and a hypocrite.”

[@Attmay]

And it’s partly Norman Lear’s fault which is why his output is unwatchable to the point of being openly homophobic.

[@nomizak]

​@gerryyaum when you have no shame and no empathy for others that's how you can view Archie bunker as a hero. It's the only way. Their mentality is I have mine screw the rest of the world unless I approve of you. That's the only reason Trump has any followers. They're devoid of shame or empathy. They want him to lead them to a great white Christian nation where only white male Christian nationalists have a say in anything. That's what Archie wanted too if he could've gotten away with it which is why they view him as a hero. At the end of the day though Archie would still do what was right even if he didn't agree with it.

[@gic8849]

I still binge on this show.. I go back every so often and take a couple months going through every episode I began loving this show when I was 3, because I loved their voices.

"All In the Family" was the first show to feature the sound effect of a toilet flushing before Archie would descend from the stairs.

[@dirtybrd702]

I'm only 37, and I still watch episodes to this day. The grandfather I never had, I need to sit in that chair once Glenn I will work or pay

[@JEFFK1963]

When I was growing up, the "All In The Family" family reminded me a LOT of my grandparents. My grandparents lived in Queens in a very similar neighborhood to the Bunkers neighborhood. My grandmother was a housewife with a screechy voice, who was kind of naive, and who lived to cook for and serve my grandfather. (The Edith did for Archie). My grandparents had the same accent as Archie and Edith saying "Foyst" instead of "First" and "Thoyd" instead of "Third", or "terlot" instead of "toilet". My grandfather had very similar attitudes and opinions to what Archie's were. He also always put on a hat when he walked out the door (the EXACT SAME hat that Archie always put on when HE walked out the door!), and he also had his favorite chair in his home. When my grandparent's daughter (my aunt) got married, she and her husband lived with my grandparents in their home for several years, just like Mike and Gloria did, until a few years later when they moved into their own place (as Mike and Gloria did). Every time I watched "All In The Family", I felt like I was visiting my grandparent's home in Queens, and I saw my grandparents in Archie and Edith, so I really LOVED the show. The hardest I ever laughed at any TV show was the moment when Mike and Gloria were getting married in their home and Edith yelled up the stairs "GLORIA! WHERE ARE YOU!", and Gloria called back "Hold it Mom! I'm waiting for Daddy!" and then you heard the toilet flush! And you see the look on all the faces of all the guests when they heard the toilet flush! I laughed so hard at that moment, I could barely breathe!

The greatest damn television show ever.

[@rosgill6]

It took me 30 years to learn the line "gee, that old LaSalle ran great!" From the song. That line baffled me for years! Glenn needs to get the Merv Griffin set next!

[@Attmay]

That line became distasteful and offensive after the drag queen Beverly LaSalle was murdered in a hate crime that never would’ve happened if they had taken a different way home than the one meathead suggested. It’s his fault he died. It’s also the meathead’s fault that a Jewish politician was killed in a car bomb because all the time he spent gaslighting the head of the Hebrew Defense League with that “you’re no better” garbage, more proof that atheism is just anti-Semitism extrapolated onto every other religion to give it unearned moral authority and intellectual legitimacy, was time they could have spent diffusing the car bomb. Norman Lear was a hack. He was not funny. I have never heard him say anything remotely amusing in interviews or at BoomerCons. His biography is barely readable, and I only bought it to find out what he was thinking when he sold his studio to Coca-Cola. None of his shows even qualify for the test of time, and it took until the end of the 90s to undo the damage he did to the production values of television.
