The odd thing about "All in the Family" is that the liberals could laugh at Archie and the conservatives could laugh with him. I'm sure the liberal types who made the show intended Archie to be a buffoon not realizing that half or more of Americans shared many of his opinions. Certainly relevant in these times. It was never my favorite show, though, because I realized the writers and even Carroll O'Conner was at some level mocking the blue-collar type mentality.
