Archie also said Sammy Davis Jr. and him were a lot alike. Like come the fukk on.
Show would never fly today, but Norman Lear was dropping them jewels.
Great post.
Side note you ever look into the hidden racism from The Little Rascals? And why Cosby bought the masters and buried it

You youngins don't know that the Jeffersons was a spinoff of this show. Yes the same Jeffersons where he called white people honkey's and other shyt about white people. So I'm not all pissed off about it because even on this show George used to go in on his racist ass.

!!!!!This show is a classic...loved it growing up and still love it today.
The show wasn't about "white supremacy" or an endorsement of it; it was really the opposite.
Archie was just a representation of the America that "once was" pre-1960s ie soft bigotry, the "joe lunch pail", factory worker, of the pro American generation who clashed with his young neo liberal, over educated "burn the flag" new school son in law and other issues that were changing America at the time (i.e. the free love movement, feminism, a change in attitude towards race etc etc).
It was a characterization of a changing of the guard between the generations of the time.
Definitely one of the most telling and provocative shows without a doubt. Even the chair that he sat in in the show is displayed in the Smithsonian
But Playing a YouTube clip is really robbing yourself of the whole story. You have to watch a few episodes in full length to get what I'm saying. Try looking at the first few seasons.
My favorite episode is the one where the two black burglers break into his house (one of the burglars is played by Lamont from Sanford n Son). Shyt still has metil this day...but I know the new millennial generation is hyper sensitive with too short of an attention span to get it
That episode, the one where the Black "blockbuster" was trying to buy Archie's house. The episode where the black dude and the white man come to fix Archie's fridge, the Sammy Davis Jr. episode, Lionel's engagement party, etc etc.
shyt alotta the best episodes didn't have anything to do with race. Like the episode where Archie found out that big football player he looked up to was gay. Lol
All in the family easily ranks up there with good times Sanford and son the Jeffersons'and Martin.
George was that nikka
Lmfaoooooo George's face when he met the father
I think young people in this thread need to chill, comedy back then was a lot more over the top, from TV shows to standups, not just about race but about everything. People weren't as sensitive back then. George used to go in on Archie at ALL times lmao

It was constant race jokes between the 2, Archie would sneak them in like a ninja but George wouldn't hide them and they literally never had a normal conversation they always just went in on eachother, I am old as hell and that shyt was hilarious back in the day. Problem is people see clips now for the first time they are like
but go watch standups and roasts from back then, everything was fair game. It was just comedy, today we are way to sensitive to anything which sucks because both Archie and Jeffersons were both hilarious shows yet if it was on tv today it would be cancelled after 2 episodes.

Thanks. It wasn't hidden in LR...even as a kid who didn't know much, I didn't F with that show..and I remember the episodes that turned me off. (They thought Buckwheat had turned into a monkey)I did hear that Cos bought the rights but then I heard that it was a rumor.
To people out there protesting against stereotypes of Blacks in the media..KEEP FIGHTING.....
MFers out there are still slick and Black kids don't need to be growing up seeing the bullshyt about ourselves on tv and in the media. Trust me, the same young people who are telling you that you are old school and too uptight will get older and see things for what they are and THANK YOU for trying to open their eyes.
Lebron James was photographed for Vanity Fair cover as a young man....They played the shyt out of him..
Bron cover and the old recruitment poster that OBVIOUSLY was being copied
and he told people that they were over reacting.
Fast forward to the H&M toughest monkey bullshyt and he was one of the first celebs to call it out for EXACTLY what it was.
"laugh track"So oldheads saying, its about dissecting the psyche of the antiquated bitter white male, like how the Sopranos is an expose into the psychology of a sociopathic mobster.
But then there's the issue of the laugh track playing along with those comments?
this cracker was trippin'

Live Audience....
Totally escaped my mind, forgot it was live back then.
