This is another show I just don't like, even after all these years. I can't really pin it down as to why I hate this show. Maybe at the time it came out I was in my early adolscence and just didn't get the social commentary, or maybe Archie was just too much of a bigot for my tastes. I just don't know. Even now, I can't stand to watch the re-runs.

I thought the show was a hysterically funny social satire, but you really needed to be at least working for a living to appreciate it. You also need to understand the world at the time it was aired. Now, people are afraid of each other, fearful of expressing dissenting honest opinions. The pointed commentary of "All in the Family" would be too scary.
