"Mr., we could use a man like Calvin Coolidge again."

This was supposed to be the original line in the lyrics to "Those Were The Days" on "All in the Family." I don't know why they changed it to Hoover, since he is not a President people look on with fondness.

I remember you telling me you thought it SHOULD be the line.

But it was and they changed it? Obviously done on purpose to make Archie look stupid.

Re: “I don't know why they changed it to Hoover”

I'll guess mockery of white Conservatives.

Norman Lear (Executive Producer) and Carroll O'Connor (Archie Bunker) were hard line Socialists in real life.

Archie Bunker, the character, was supposed to be a typical middle class Conservative.
