Yes, bring back Archie Bunker as well as Johnny!
That was pretty edgy back then! My parents were watching stuff like Colombo and Barretta so I rarely saw that show. What I did see was all the advertisements for the next episodes. The producers did a great job making Rob Reiner look and act like a moron. Or was that really Rob and he was exploited? He seems even dumber to me now.
Rob is a moron, he didn't have to act.
Pro Tip: Most actors ain't acting. You're seeing them just as they are in real life.
Norman Lear was a card carrying communist. He actually set the show up to lionize Meathead and ridicule Archie. It hilariously backfired.
The way Rob Reiner wrote the characters the audience was supposed to sympathize with Meathead and hate Archie, instead the opposite happened for many obvious reasons.
Well, I’ll give Rob this: he’s been true to his character in real life. A real liberal.
