50 years later and the meathead is still a meathead in 2023.

I know Archie was the socialists representation of an American and was supposed to be insulting, but he ended up a prophet.

When it first came out, Mother and I watched it, turned to each other and both said the same, “Daddy’s gonna hate this.”.
He loved it, guess the sarcasm from the writers was ignored, it was a great show.
Americans were once hard to embarrass, now it’s all about feelings.

He simply hated everyone. He was a Misanthrope.
An easily attainable position, if you live long enough to see enough of humanity.

I love these reaction videos. YouTube is full of them. Search “Reaction to Bee Gees” sometime. It’s a hoot!

My stepfather identified with Archie big-time, and he was a nasty piece of work. It soured me completely on “All in the Family” because I also disliked the liberal progressives always scoring easy shots on Archie as well. It’s like they had to have emphasis Archie’s worse tendencies to offset their awful ideology, “See everyone, average America is just as unlikeable as we are, therefore we liberal elites aren’t so bad now, are we?” I was a child then and I found obsession with racial differences as an explanation for individual bad behavior boring and unrealistic. I still do.

I remember thinking that Archie was a buffoon, but Gloria and Meathead were even worse. I hated their superiority in everything they believed in.

Political correctness is what tyrants use to censor free speech.

Archie hated everyone no matter the color.
Interesting how young people today think everyone has to be put in a category, aka box.

I remember when you couldn’t read the emotions on a man’s face while watching TV or anything
else, because men didn’t wear their hearts on their sleeves.
Times certainly have changed.

From a time when Americans could laugh at one another’s differences, instead of feeling like every comment was a personal insult.
Which is part of the plan, to keep people angry and divided.

Those two guys were almost as boring as iotwreport.com spammers.
But, butt, it was the first time that curmudgeonly old I heard the term,
Three Races
P.S. Caucasoid, Negroid, and Mongoloid(?)

I bought my old man an ‘Archie Bunker For President’ T-Shirt for his B’day circa 1971. It was his favorite T. He wore that thing until the cotton dissolved.
Norman Lear, liberal twatwaffle that he is, thought everyone would hate Archie. Turned out just the opposite. People loved Archie despite his imperfections.
