[grantpacer02]

I wish archie was here today so he could school these fags

[sharkbaitj]

ahhahahah!aaahahahah!

Arch u kill me(:>{D)=[---<:

[SeanMBryans]

First time the words 'quueer' and 'fag' were used on prime time television. As a younger gay person, at the time, I didn't know if I should laugh at his ignorance. But I did. And I still am today - almost 30 years later . . . Because there are still people (though few) who still think this way.

[wj5mjk]

LOL Go luke! from general hospital,laura's other half :)

[snowfallzz]

I'm gonna have to build a time machine and travel back to when things were normal lol. Archie is the shit.

[runly1]

Love Tony Geary!!!!!!!

[1964nickel]

Well, now, Tony Geary on All My Children. Now wasn't that a treat. :-} TY for these.

[brut2011]

If I had someone that looked like "Roger" at my door,.......I would have to reach for my shotgun....LOL!

[Categorycinque]

Christians and conservatives run the free world and keep it safe. As they economically collapse due to political correctness and the rise of the welfare class watch the world continue to decend into chaos. Archie is a hard working real world man. Like him or not, for all his faults (and he has many), he is working, caring man who pays his taxes, served his nation, and doesn't want a handout.

[Smartboy8877]

@Categorycinque

In the first place, I will agree with you about Archie having many faults. However, he also has his share of redeeming qaulities.

[jediknightgeo]

LOL Roger, SWEETY PIE Roger!

[TADGELL]

he's not gay. just a nerd.

[yesorlando05]

Roger does seem like a nice guy, but he is a bit over the top.

[taypar11]

We had an Archie Bunker when I was growing up in South Texas. He was a transplanted old man from Pennsylvania. He had three pretty daughters and when you went out with one of them, you got the third degree. He fucked with everyone. I don't think I ever saw a black or a mexican in his house the whole 17 years I knew him.

[Smartboy8877]

@taypar11

Very sad indeed!

[truvianni]

Polaks are meat heads. At least his got one for everybody

[wolfmanagr]

I am offended. Britain is NOT a fag! >=-/

[Brdj010]

@wolfmanagr Yey you are.

[wolfmanagr]

@Brdj010 hmmm... no response

[elfhermie]

Funny how Archie's the most lovable character on this show (with the possible exception of sweet Edith), being that he's supposed to be an "awful" person for the things he says and believes.  His honesty and speaking of his mind is hilarious and very refreshing, especially in a day and age now that wants everyone to act and think like Meathead. Archie might say some ignorant things, but at least he gives his honest opinion. Plus, his heart is bigger than his mouth like many real Archies.

[Smartboy8877]

@elfhermie

I did not think that he was depicted as an awful person. I think he is a charactature. It is clear that he has redeeming qualities.

[somedaysdreamers13]

Archie:"Smoked salmon? I only get tunafish for my lunch!"

[Smartboy8877]

@somedaysdreamers13

I had planned on having smoked salmon suchi on this very evening! Unfortunately, the rain was too severe for me to make it to the place that sells it. This being the case, I ended up having bacon and eggs in my apartment. It was pretty decent!

[kris39100]

OMG, He's off the ground again!!!!!!!!! Archie's HILARIOUS!!!!!

[Smartboy8877]

@kris39100

Yes he surely is! Since day one, it was quite clear that there was quite a bit of decency hidden behind all of that ignorance!

[kris39100]

"A guy who wears glasses is a four-eyes, a guy who's a fag is a queer". LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dvlsgod]

Thanks for posting!!

[winkydinkable]

I am 16 and this is my new favorite show ever.....

[NittyNilt]

''Roger the Fairy'' ...... ARCHIE BUNKER WAS THE REALEST MAN ON T.V.

[IwontConform]

I was a big fan of "all in the family" back in the 70s and after.But i didnt realize until years later that the show`s creator norman lear is jewish and that the show was an intentional platform for mocking and attacking white christian faith, conservatism and patriotism,something which has been done for years by the jewish-controlled media.Lear is founder of PAW(people for the american way)one of many liberal jewish organizations committed to destroying christian conservative values in america.

[LordBizarre112233]

@IwontConform He shouldn't have bothered. Christians and conservatives do a good enough job of mocking themselves.

[wiseass2147]

Hey, i wear glasses and love the pussy.

[BlacKnightRising]

too true.... way tooo many handouts and people on welfare it was true 40yrs ago and now it' worse then ever before, gee I wonder why that is, oh yea, the obamas are in the white house, we're fucked beyond all recognition if that socialist marxist pig is re-elected.

[gracebasherguy92]

@BlacKnightRising You understand Archie's the guy the audience is supposed to laugh at for being an ignorant, racist, bigoted fuck, correct?

[BlacKnightRising]

@gracebasherguy92 and I suppose u DON'T understand that 90% of the people of the world luv Archie's direct-to-the-pont rough-round-the-edges truth, cuz he's right and u idiot libs can't stand it, what's funny is, or actually sad is, the fact that, nothing's change except for technology but left-wing insanty knows no bounds and look at what that socialist pig obama has done to this nation...end of story

[gracebasherguy92]

@BlacKnightRising LOL yeah, because god forbid anybody gets any help from the government whatsoever if they are in dire straits. And it's the other way around: more than 90% of the people in the world hate Archie and see him as the lovable bigot in their family that nobody can ever get through to because they live in their own little right-wing world and are impervious to any kind of logic.

[BlacKnightRising]

@gracebasherguy92 yea right u go rationalize that lib bullshit all u want, there's more race division now than ever before, there's more racism now then ever before and that pig muslim socialist dared to tell our most important ally in the mideast to "go back to '67 borders." and people are shocked, I wasn't that's to be expected from a anti-semitic pig like obama,and as for the the gov't helping people in dire str8's, god forbid people should "work" for a living instead of TAXPAYER handouts

[gracebasherguy92]

@BlacKnightRising Thank you for proving my point, you little fascist. Didn't even try to cloak your racism as the rest of the Right does. And why the hell do YOU care about Israel? Why do you give a fuck if a President has had the balls to publicize US policy towards Israel for the last 30 years (that they should return to the 1967 borders). And yes, there's more racism than ever, because neanderthals like you are coming out of the woodwork b/c there's a black president and you don't like that.

[BlacKnightRising]

@gracebasherguy92 hehe being called a fascist by a pathetic liberal barrack insane hussein obama zombie is the greatest compliment ever, that pig pres sitting in the white house and disgracing it by the second is a muslim sympathizer and an open anti semite, plain as day, as I see u are, "why the hell do I care about Israel" oh I don't know mabye because they are a critical ally in the mid east and our friends, well they used to be anyway, but soon insane hussein obama's presidency will be over

[gracebasherguy92]

@BlacKnightRising LOL even the Israelis hate Bibi's tough-guy stance, you retard. The main opposition leader Tzipi Livni just came out defending what Obama said and saying Netanyahu has no idea what the fuck he's doing. And btw, nice of you to send one of your douche bag friends to defecate all over my comments section with threatening, homophobic filth. You people are the scum of the fucking Earth.

[BlacKnightRising]

@gracebasherguy92 oh of course they hate Bibi's tough-guy stance, yes ur absolutely right sure, they want the borders to go back to '48, why stop at '67, yea of course, leave the enemy to come right in and obliterate whatever Israelis remain in Jeruselem, of course, I see it now, yep, and Tzipi Livni is a leftwing fucked-up socialist lib like u, u pathetic lowlife, and it's amazing how u idiots always bring homophobia in2 a conversation that has zero relevance, sent my what?? are u that insane??

[slheaphy]

@gracebasherguy92

"You little fascist" LOL! Am I the only one who ever notices that hardcore Conservatives don't know how to intelligently make their point? For instance, look at the composition of your sentences as opposed to his/hers. The poor sentence structure is almost distracting from the actual point the person is trying to make. I guess they don't teach those kinds of things in Bible study, just higher education-- which is what makes a Democrat a Democrat. Kudos to you!

[gracebasherguy92]

@slheaphy Are you implying that I'm right-wing?

[Brdj010]

@slheaphy Oh would you loonies stop with the crap.

[Brdj010]

@slheaphy BTW, you are only 23, you don't know crap about the real world.

[Lovemyselfidoes81]

@Brdj010 That's right he's a MEATHEAD Dead from the neck up MEAT HEAD

[LordBizarre112233]

@gracebasherguy92 See, that goes right over the head of all the bigoted, racist fucks. That's why all the most thumbed-up comments are always some variation on "Gee, wasn't it better in the 1970's when you could say "fag" and be racist on TV?"

[pab75]

Archie was way ahead of his time.

[Dragblacker]

Even though some of what Archie says about England is exaggeration or plain silly, it's ironic that England now is a mere shadow of its former self. As the song says, "there is no England now"

[mamalovestv]

General Hospital fans that's our very own Tony Geary playing Roger!

[peanutbuttercrunc100]

lsdmadman...jealous of WHAT exactly?

[jengafreak]

lordy this is a depressing show

[prostockgirl]

england is a fag country,,lol..how right he is with that one.

[moggy1231]

love edith she is the best person.

[spearchucker009]

queer as a four dollar bill lmao

[sierria64]

LMAO.. THATS LUKE FROM GENERAL HOSPITAL ..TONY GERY

[76slippery]

Oh c'mon dude looks pretty faggy

[76slippery]

He's right about England...

[paulyvi]

LMAO @ Edith observatoins on snap shots n Archie reaction...))

n Edna St. Louis Millay! hA!

i am SO glad i found this show..i know hes mean butt it was diff back then...it was funny mean not just to be mean..im gay n some peeps are mean on here n i dont like em butt this was just funny n i laff at this stuff...i mean he talks about EVERYBODY it just fuckin kwax me up n he doesnt even have a clue about what he is which makes him even more funny!

[msk7046]

I don't like the way Ms. Stapleton portrayed Edith with the voice infection on the first several episodes of the series.

[SUNMAYDEN518]

thats what the show was about charmolution get a life

[familyfeudfan95]

I realized that Anthony Geary(Luke Spencer on GH) was on this episode....wow!!

[Lennon4ever1]

The typical macho shit-head mindset-any man who is intellectual and sensitive in any way must be a faggot.

[Charmolution]

@Lennon4ever1

Hmm... Does that mean all smart people are gay, and heteros are stupid?

[Lennon4ever1]

@Charmolution No, to lump a group together and paint them with the same brush is stupid. That's what I was pointing out in my comment. If one was to assume ALL black people eat watermelon is a perfect example of bigotry and ignorance.

[michaeljustussvcc]

Archie is a jerk.

[skippysippy]

LOL "If I can't be good I'll be careful"!!!!

[choirfreak26]

What's the episode where Michael comes home with his "man-bag" and Archie makes fun of it and says "F-A-G fruit!" Is that later in this episode or is that a different episode?

[DiceEsque]

@choirfreak26 That's: Archie and the Bowling Team.

[mari66101]

@choirfreak26

Its another episode, I think its called "Archie and the bowling team".... where Gloria buys one of those "Man purses" for Mike.

[kikyosan543]

its easy to see that roger is gay because of his pink shirt! it plain easy and the way he talks and acts.

[NeverSeenInGermany]

@kikyosan543 did you read and understand the title of this episode?

[louspintoo]

Making points about gays in a tolerant way-so ahead of it's time.

[ageguyera21]

@louspintoo *its

[ageguyera21]

@louspintoo *its It's means "it is".

[louspintoo]

@ageguyera21 (from wikipedia) "its, the possessive adjective and possessive pronoun form of the personal pronoun it"-which is to say, you're right and I got that one wrong. Thanks!

[mkl62]

Anthony Geary, who guest starred in this episode, will be appearing this Monday (August 16) on The Wendy Williams Show.

[zzremington]

Edith is so bland in the first episodes but hits her stride by season #2 - awesome show, best ever!

[Psychotherapy101]

640 you can see the microphone being pulled up...

[DJLunasf]

Wow, this is so messed up!

[aushorecm]

8:24 a pitcher to GO? hmm that sounds awesome lol

[SmileyFace6796]

well I'm english and I have...

never pulled a hankercheif out of my sleeve

never lent on a large umbrella (in fact i've never even heard of that one before)

but the fagdom comment was still hillarious :)

[JUGGALOMETAL80]

@SmileyFace6796 i think hes refering to england long before you were even born

[newt0830]

i didnt know luke spencer was a fag??

[poughkeepsiejohn1]

I can't believe that's Anthony Geary playing Roger! The same Anthony Geary who would later become Luke Spencer on "General Hospital"! What a great actor he is!

[bobbystj]

yea he's gay!!!! lol

[JUGGALOMETAL80]

if i cant be good ill be carefull

[KarmicOmen]

Roger is so ... flowery.

[KarmicOmen]

Oh my God ... the moonbats would have a damned conniption if they ever tried to air something like this nowadays. It pushed the envelope about as far as they could, but it was brilliant beyond compare ... and loved by more people than there will ever be moonbats.

[zzremington]

Roger - "this was a most enchanting young person"

Archie - "Boy or girl?"

Roger- "Boy"

Archie- "why'd I ask"

LOL

[joeypolanski]

"London, England, huh? Your witness."

Hahahahaha!

[willsmurray]

England sucks...thats why we came over here because it sucked

[Jakegothicsnake]

Boy, if Archie said that England was a f** country, I'd would've decked him in the face and called hom a fat old (something nasty, I'm not sure which though), because I like England. Some of the world's best authors and musicians came fron England.

[KarmicOmen]

@Jakegothicsnake Get over it -- it's a damned TV show

[1camchloe]

one of my favorite episodes.. thanks for posting!

[punisherthunder]

The good ole' days when you could say fag on tv and get away with it

[Jakegothicsnake]

Yeah, but nowadays, we're getting closer to saying "fuck" on tv without it getting censored.

[10mintwo]

@punisherthunder "The good ole' days when you could say fag on tv and get away with it " OMG INORITE??! Almost as good as the really old days when we could call black people NIGGERS! Fucking imbecile.

[mars188]

@10mintwo  Yeah all the Fun is gone now

[mhasy1965]

Elton the strange litle birdie. LOL

[newyorkeastside]

that's johnny depp lol

[DiabolicalExpression]

Thats not Johnny Depp, it's Anthony Geary, Luke Spencer from General Hospital. But he does look like JD there lol

[KarmicOmen]

@DiabolicalExpression

No, of course it wasn't Johnny Depp -- I think they just meant the likeness of him. That's Luke Spencer?! Wow! I didn't know -- and never would have guessed it was him. Thanks for the FYI!

[3dartistguy]

this guy looks like Austin powers...

[zazaranger5]

Stevre is Asa Buchanan On One Life To Live Another ABC soap

[EminemFan202]

lol "And you Pollacks are meatheads!" Archie Bunker never ever will get old.

[pucksterz12]

"England is a fag country"!...Archie is a pisser!

[Jakegothicsnake]

"pisser"...hhmmmm.....interest­ing, I always sort of thought of him as more of an arsehole myself.

[funkeekatt]

Anthony Geary, playing Roger, is gay in real life.

[TIPTON340]

NO WAY!

[funkeekatt]

It's true. He's never officially come out but in Hollywood it's an open secret.

[theconsultantATL]

And that is Luke Spencer from General Hospital....he looks funny as Roger.

[ibtnm25]

I resent you Mike for a total idiot.

[myhighlanddream]

This is before Edith was the funny, sweet, dingbat we all grew to love!

[LiarsNightmare]

these people are fanatical about giving thumbs down to anyone who says anything remotely critical

[Tsuruta1]

That's why "All In The Family", was groundbreaking television for the time it was aired.

[Flyingpig437]

it was a rip off of an english program called Till death us do part

[Tsuruta1]

I wouldn't call it a rip off, but yes it is based on that program. And because some of the content, it was considered groundbreaking for certain words or topics that were used. For example, at one time they considered the word "pregnant" unfit for TV. Or the episode concerning Edith's possible breast cancer issue. And, of course, Archie's ignorance of diversity of people. Things like that were considered at one time taboo for TV in the U.S.

[AishwaryaRaiOnline]

yeah, I'm glad they made Jean Stapelton change the way she played Edith.

[tjrxk7]

LOL......."England has always been based on a kind of 'fagdom".

[shawnzee102]

@tjrxk7

The dad from Frasier said that all English people seem gay...

Which is funny because he's English....

And gay.

[markjv]

that character was more educated/"artsie" worldly than "gay"

by this standard i guess most ppl were "gay"

LMAO!

[jonwiley]

Sad how nothing much has changed today. We still try to label everybody by a few tired, usually inaccurate, stereotypes about who's gay and who ain't.

[noreaga12326]

The look on everyones face between 7:27 and 7:30 is priceless! XD

[lsdmadman]

ahhhh the 70s....all the other decades are JUST jealous...

[storrs19]

Edna Saint Louis Malay! ROFL I love Archie's malapropisms! The only other show I knew that mangled the english language as bad as this was Amos & Andy.

[obiwanobiwan13]

@lsdmadman No kidding--I'm a child of the 1990s, NO WAY those comments fly today!

You could get away with A LOT MORE in the 60s and 70s, huh? (And surprise surprise, you've got this, the original Star Trek, the Beatles, the Stones, awesome sports all across the board, Rocky, Star Wars, Yellow Submarine...artistic expression sure peaked there...)

[demarcuslewis865]

@lsdmadman i wish i grew up in the 70s i would have been a burnout jock like i was in the 2000's but it would have been cooler in the 70s

[hitandmove]

For us baby boomers ..this show was shock to the mainstream system. This is a very early show of the series. I loved it then and I love it now.

[DiAnno13]

A picture of Big Ben, a moment captured in time.

[zannoah25]

isnt roger, luke from general hospital?

[gringging]

Yes, that's him!!

[PeterBluth]

And Asa from One Life to Live plays Steve.

[PuddyKatz]

My late father was just like this, oddly despite that I still miss him.

[ertznay]

Has anyone heard the old Nixon/Watergate tapes where he is talking about this episode? They are hilarious.

[Moionfire]

Yup, I just watched this after listening to the tapes...

[kylecoolio12]

very good episode, just a question, are these episodes uploaded in order of release date or just randomly?

[hultonclint]

they're totally random

[skymunro]

wow, this epside uploaded well, looks real crisp, and you got the hd on this one,

[empibroo1]

My all time favorite show and my favorite episode.Again the show tackles an important social theme and knocks it out of the park,dead on! This is a page out of my life.Most of my friends are like Archie,I'm like Steve and I have known many straight guys like Roger.Dealing with this issue in 70's was unheard of for a tv show and I'm sure it still makes people THINK and laugh at how stupid stereotypes sometimes are "nowadays you can't bet on nuttin"always has been true!
