People loved Archie Bunker and hated Meathead because they knew boomer liberals were full of $#@!. Even Sammy Davis, Jr. was in the Bunker bunker. He recognized Archie’s vocabulary was that of a hard-working American who grew up in a rough neighborhood. Davis told him as much when he appeared on the show as himself back in 1972. Archie liked him too, eventually.

Based on the idea of natural rights, government secures those rights to the individual by strictly negative intervention, making justice costless and easy of access; and beyond that it does not go. The State, on the other hand, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may provisionally grant him. It has always made justice costly and difficult of access, and has invariably held itself above justice and common morality whenever it could advantage itself by so doing.

LOL - The only network that will run these in syndication is the gay channel.
This would be ostracized today--to me this was REAL comedy!

The Federalist Papers, No. 15:
Except as to the rule of appointment, the United States have an indefinite discretion to make requisitions for men and money; but they have no authority to raise either by regulations extending to the individual citizens of America.
This is indicative of the strange times in which we live.
Telling a good ethnic joke is liable to get you arrested.
So there is, in today's AmeriKa, this one level of stifling Grundyism and puritanical political prudery on one hand, yet on another level, it's a "let it all hang out" 24/7 freak show, if your particular perversion is protected.
Yeah, really.
Logo TV network, is the only network running repeats of All in the Family, as far as I know.
Can you imagine if you pitched an AITF script to bunch of tv execs today?Logo TV (also simply known as Logo, styled as Logo.) is an American digital cable and satellite television channel that is owned by Viacom Media Networks. From its launch up to February 21, 2012, the channel focused on lifestyle programming aimed primarily at LGBT people. Since February 21, 2012, however, the channel has been shifting its focus away from LGBT programming towards general cultural and lifestyle programming, prompting outrage from the channel's LGBT viewership, who responded by comparing the channel's new non-LGBT programming focus to that of the NBCUniversal-owned Bravo.[2][3]
Yup. Lead Zeppelin. Some shows get away with it today but they are animated. South Park, Family Guy.
I do seem to remember both of us agreeing that AITF was a sort of start for the whole "ridicule the family man, bread winner" meme that is constantly projected. After AITF it just took off into uncharted territories.
I don't have pay TV, and I see All in the Family. It's Viacom, but some network channel. Not sure though if they run some of the episodes that make the little queeers sh*t their pants today. I don't catch it much; however, every time I see it they are running the lame episodes after about season 3. I think the show dramatically changed after that, and they probably cut out the language that made it so great to watch the first three seasons.

I never heard the extended Those Were the Days Lyrics, but supposedly it was a longer song cut short to fit the intro. I found this:
Boy the way Glenn Miller Played
Songs that made the Hit Parade
Guys like us we had it made
Those were the days.
Didn't need no Welfare states
Everybody pulled his weight
gee our old LaSalle ran great
Those were the days
And you knew who you were then
Girls were girls and men were men
Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again
People seemd to be content
$50 payed the rent
Freaks were in a circus tent
Those were the days
Take a little sunday spin
Tonight I'll watch the dogers win
Have yourself a dandy day that cost you under a fin
Hair was short and skirts were long
Kate Smith really sung the song
I don't know just what went wrong

It was.
You went from the benevolent and wise father figure of say Father knows Best or Leave it to Beaver.
Then to the addlepated bigotry of Archie Bunker. (But still hysterically funny, as is most ethnic humor and stereotypes, since, as is the case with all good humor or commentary, it is rooted in a grain of truth.)
Then to whining, weak foolishness of say Everybody Loves Raymond or the bumbling incompetency of Home Improvement.
To now, mostly gone, the male lead in most sit coms that I have seen are either underdeveloped manboys or f ags.
I contend the success of shows ranging from Deadliest Catch to Duck Dynasty to Mountain Men, are a direct backlash against that sort of "programming".
