The theme song is the definition of cringeworthy. If those were "the days", then im glad to be in the present. :picard:

:martin::facepalm: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 me :bryan: til this day...but I know the new millennial generation is hyper sensitive with too short of an attention span to get it:hubie:
Millennials watched All in The Family and its spinoffs when they were in syndication.

You're thinking Gen Z
