Gloria and Michael (liberals) were constantly portrayed as the plucky underdogs chipping away at Archie's "toxic" ideology. And every time Archie speaks one of his truths, and they were truths, the laughter lights came on, and the "live studio audience" happily obeyed.
There were some things that I don't agree with Archie on. Smoking is one thing. I used to smoke, and now that I've quit, I hate it. It gets in clothing and hair and leaves a film over everything. Sorry, Arch. I can't get behind you on that one.
If you've never seen the show, pirate that shit and binge away. The episodes are available on Jewtube, but don't go there.
The coons are comin'!

nah. differnt time.
that was was bleeding dge for the decade it was made in. and is son carl reiner represented the faggot pinhead liberals of that era. it was compromise and understanding in the dense battlefield of words and ideologies.
it represented millions of homes at that time, not unlike rosanne or cosby or family ties.
the guy norman lear also wrote sanford and son, maude, good times, the jeffersons,one day at a time,and one of the weirdest and most birlliant comedies of all time, "fernwood tonight" launching the careers of martin mull, fred willard, harry shearer and many others.
he also as had voice cameos and wrote sporadically for south park...
his company also produced stand by me, the pricess bride and he also served in the US Army during WW2.
so...theres that.

It was a Jew narrative that made a white look bad. I see everything in Hollywood as a jewish vs, gentile narrative now.
Can you name one movie or show that constantly taught us about the incorrect thinking or actions of a Jewish character? I can't but I can name you some topics that would make great movies
the majority of people involved in organized crime during prohibition were Jews but we are taught about the Mafia
The Opium War and the Sassoon family
The diamond Trade
The communist party in the United States was run by Jews
The civil rights movement (bussing, affirmative action) was run by Jews.
Jewish financing in the slave trade
add your own.

All this time I thought it was just another remake of a UK show, which never made any sense after translation because Archie wasn't a Tory and Meathead wasn't a socialist. Was it original?

The premise was derived from Till Death do us Part. But the characters were rewritten. Although, Michael and Gloria were liberals. So socialist, I'd say they were. I don't know much about British political affiliations, though. So I can't say if Archie was a Tory.

Archie was written to be shorter
