Anyone remember Lear’s failed CBS Cable network? It was replaced by MTV.
And I am so glad that I had parents who forbid me to watch that trash. Many years later, I understood why.
re: gentle Irish intellectual Carroll O’Connor to become the poorly educated, full-of-himself blowhard Archie Bunker, spewing a kind of rancid, lights-out conservatism for a television audience that grew quickly to more than 50 million people.
I was always struck by the fact the butt of all the jokes on this stupid show was the only one earning a paycheck. The one going out every day, doing a hard days work on the docks in order to keep three ingrates’ a$$holes $hitting.
“Hell hath no fury like a woman’s corns!” - Archie Bunker LOL
May I kindly suggest anything posted with Norman Lear’s name in it should have a “steel-reinforced teflon barf bag alert” warning?
In real life, the Evans family probably would have rented or owned their own house (similar to that of the Bunkers) and wouldn’t be living in the projects. Didn’t James Evans have steady employment?
Anyone here old enough to remember that most people agreed with the sentiments of the “Archie Bunker” character much more than the “meathead” one? Epic fail.
Archie Bunker wasn’t a true Conservative.. a true Conservative doesn’t discriminate against somebody’s sex, color or religion
Norman Lear is still alive? That’s a real shame.
What do you mean by filth? Yeah, he interjected his Leftist views into his shows but I don’t remember seeing anything of a vile nature.
You should read Ben Shapiro book
Primetime Propaganda
Excellent
Lear was one of many...a particular demographic most raised in 200 mile strip of the northeast....
Destroyed TV
Sarnoff was about the only decent of the whole lot....
Its no wonder everyone is brainwashed
Those old “All in the Family” re-runs are still good, if you can find them. I loved it when Mike had an effeminate friend over to visit...Archie said they ought to open up a window and watch him fly out.
I’m in the minority when it comes to the Andy Griffith show; I don’t much care for it. I know Griffith’s sheriff character was supposed to be folksy and kindly, but whenever he grinned, he looked sinister and sharklike to me...totally fake.
