Archie was invariably correct, but didn’t have the chops to explain why. His knee jerk reactions were realistic.
All In The Family is already on weekly. It’s called Last be Man Standing.
I can hear it now -—
Meathead -— “Our country is being ruined by Donald Trump! He needs to be removed by any means possible!”
Archie -— “You’re right! I’ll get my gun!”
I really don’t think the average SJW could watch ten minutes of the original shows and survive all their trigger malfunctions. And one of the earlier commenters was right: Archie Bunker was supposed to be an in-your-face HATEFUL bigot, but I suspect that his character resonated because many people DID feel, righteously, that society was crumbling. The middle American audiences commensurated with the Jeffersons’ racial plights when the script had them suffer discrimination, but made no bones that they agreed with Archie in that the Looney Left was taking over the narrative.
So the reboot will make damn sure they piss off middle America this time, and most probably make sure Archie hates Trump in the end, or at least gets his comeuppance once he “checks his privilege” or some crap like that.
Nornan Lear? No thanks. Is Meathead going to bloviate?
Sad.
Wanda Sykes? If she weren't a lesbian she would never get hired for anything.
And Norman Lear.... proof that only the good die young.
