All in the Family hasn’t aged well. Norman Lear was too heavy-handed inserting his politics in the show, and now it’s boring to hear Archie and Meathead argue about some long forgotten issue from the 1970s.

Archie's daughter, Gloria, shouts out statistics about how many people are killed by guns. Archie: "Would it make you feel any better if they were pushed outta windows, little girl?"

Hardly forgotten issues. Hmmm, let's see. They argued about:

Abortion

Gun control

Gay rights

Religion

Islam (yes, in one episode.)

Israeli-Arab relations

Racism

Reverse discrimination

Party politics

Communism

Socialism

All long forgotten, right?
