Carroll Conner (portraying Archie) and Norman Lear (who wrote the show) were as liberal as they come. This program was written to ridicule people who held conservative beliefs and portray them as ignorant. Wouldn't you like to see a sitcom that ridicules bedweting, P.C. libs?

Here is CO'Cs politics - be sure to watch it to the end Carroll O Connor Kennedy, 1980 - MySpaceVideos - Strimoo.com

I do not care what political views O'Connor or Lear had. Their work was entertaining and relevant to its time.

If you don't have the first few seasons on DVD in your personal library, you don't know what you're missing. They are all classic and a hoot funnier than anything on TV today. I sometimes think an entire 30 min episode of any of today's "comedy" shows is nothing more than a build up to one stupid line uttered by one of the characters.

Regardless of the actual leanings of the actors, the show was a one of a kind. I remember watching it with my mom and dad (along with Laugh-in) and even remember an entire display of tee shirts, mugs and other related items at Penny's (100 Oaks store) with the slogan "Archie Bunker for President" during one election year cycle, heck I may have even had one of the shirts.

I actually bought the entire set of seasons as an anniversary present to my wife for us to enjoy together. You'll be glad you have them.
