The reason is Hollywood doesn't like to spotlight any non-PC characters.

They prefer that 50% or more of the country remain invisible.

They'll give you plenty of homos and trannies though

Looks like you’re the dumbass. As of 2020, boomer is anybody 56 or older. Anybody in their forties is a Gen X’er.

If we all just put aside our differences and work together, I know we can come up with a new cringey-cute nickname for people between 40 and 56.

Yeah but Al Bundy wasn’t written to make fun of the majority of Americans.


I see your point.

In my mind, Al was created to represent what real life could be like with a man stuck in a marriage with 2 children and a dead end job. He was a character that people could look to and say at least my life is not as bad as Al’s life. Add that with a little off color humor, fat jokes, sex jokes, red headed wife, a yuppie neighbor that thinks too much of themselves, and a dog.

You a have a comedy that goes for 11 seasons and helps build a new network.

Yeah, but he scored 4 touchdowns in a single game. Not just any game either, the 1966 city championship game.

Wrong. Baby boomers are between 55 and 75 years young.

So in an emergency and you need to evacuate your home in the middle of the night, do you a.) put on a sock and a sock then a shoe and a shoe, or b.) put on a sock and a shoe and then a sock and a shoe?

The best part about Archie Bunker is he was written by fart sniffing soy boys designed to make people laugh at and make fun of him and his beliefs. But Archie Bunker became one of the most acclaimed characters in TV history.


Meathead was written to be just as disagreeable. One of the better episodes was when his Polish uncle came to visit. Archie was prepared not to like him and vice versa until they found out they agreed Michael was a dumbass.

Archie wasn’t racist out of hate; in his realm his beliefs were justified.
A lot of people were (are) like Archie.

It always pissed me off that he was usually made out to be a buffoon.

His son in law (despite feeding him and his daughter) was completely incapable of trying to understand why Archie was the way he was.
He had no respect for Archie.
That chapped my arse.

If you're talking about the wedding episode you're completely misremembering it. Uncle Casimir (sp?) (played by Michael Conrad, "let's be careful out there" guy from Hill Street Blues) and Archie don't get along at all.

Archie Bunker: 1970s
Al Bundy: 1980s

How the bleep is that a "modern day equivalent?" I mean, it's still 2020, right?

Jesus I’m getting old, but still remember watching “All in the Family” every Sunday night followed by “The Jefferson’s” who of course were Archie’s “colored” neighbors, hence the spinoff...Norman Lear was a genius.
Btw your both fricking wrong Baby Boomers were born of the baby boom following G.I.’s returning home from WWII & laying pipe non-stop for the next couple of years, think 1945-1950. Boomers like my parents are all in their 70’s so if you’re gonna be cute at least have a little respect & try not to show your ignorance, pretty please w/ sugar on top.
P.S. Archie’s chair is in The Smithsonian
