One of the greatest sitcoms of all time.Today's weak overly sensitive PC crowd wouldn't touch this racial humor filled show with a ten foot pole.

I don't know about that. There is some pretty racy stuff on tv today. Plus there is always the pay per services.

[–] horrorfan000 (2070) 6 years ago

I doubt it.Too much racial sensitivity these days.I don't think anyone would touch it in today's climate.

There were a few words used on that show that can't be spoken at ALL today.

It was remake of a British show IIRC.

I disagree. The show was made by a liberal and made fun of a bigot. The show is an excellent time capsule for that era. Roseanne appeared to be trying for a modern version.

The show would be redundant since Archie Bunker is in the White House.

Archie and Trump are both bigots from Queens who say stupid things and even have similar stupid ideas.

Archie: To stop skyjackers, let's arm all passengers!
Trump: To stop school shootings, let's arm all teachers!

Actually, Trump is worst than Archie. Unlike draft dodger President Heel Spurs, Archie served in the military - the Big One, WW2 - therefore he would never refer to neo-Nazis as fine people nor would Archie betray America to a former KGB spy to make a buck off a real estate deal.
