Best Show EVER! All in the Family. RIP Carroll O'Connor. No show was ever more "REAL" then this one..

@covingtonjoe

Dipshit, they were making fun of people like archie bunker as much as they were making fun of anybody. The only problem is pinkos like you don't get that.

[covingtonjoe]

oh yea no show was any more real. just another way to hate gay people black people. anyone who is not straight white America. PISS ON HIS GRAVE ! ! ! ! !

[rammstein2001]

Love you Carroll

[61kingsize]

those were the days!

[matthewosmond1984]

I met him too. I met Jean, Rob, and Sally as well. All were nice especially Carroll and Sally.

@Whitevoice14 The thing is, though, that despite the intentions of everyone involved, Archie continually emerged as the hero. Look at dome of the episodes, today. No matter how the producers slanted things, Michael really was the "meat head" and Archie the sensible, down to earth guy.

He was a victim of cocaine as well, indirectly.

@Gorilla721 How was it real, it was propaganda plain in simple, always making the White working man look dumb and the Commie pinko hippy look right! It stomped upon all values!

too bad Norman Lear wouldn't let the name be used. It was the same show...just undergoing more of the changes it had since it went on the air. It is undervalued because of that (and unavailable on DVD.)

they should have sent Edith off to college that first season of APB. Would have given reasons for her being gone and opened up story possibilities if Jean wanted to come back.
