I hate Norman Lear. He's the TV producer who took a lot of British class comedies and turned them into American shows like All in the Family.
(LANGUAGE WARNING)
Lear has never hidden the fact that he created these TV shows as liberal propaganda.
Lately, he's been crowing about how his most famous creation, the character of Archie Bunker, is just like Donald Trump.
Lear is so clueless, he thinks that's a bad thing...
Why can’t you stay on topic. With the likes of Meathead and his ilk, we would all be enjoying the wonderful comforts as they now have in Venezuela.
Sanford and son
Barney Miller
Prophets
They warned us
Like Orwell.
Take the next right step
No one said you can’t work 9 to 5 and still be a horrible bigot, racist and completely ignorant.
Do you think Archie treated his wife well – always telling her to shut the fuck up (stifle) and get me my beer?
He was terrible person that was entertaining to watch due to the amazement that someone could be like that. He never knew what he was talking about on any given subject.
Jimmy troll give us a link. ta.
He is gone at the end of the month. Ezra has confirmed this. You are fucking stupid.
Yes – what a hero. Killing a soldier who wasn’t as good as everyone else, lying about it and trying to cover it up.
I have always figured the hero in that Rob Reiner film was the Jack Nicholson character, Colonel Jessup, not the snot-nosed-punk lawyer, Lt. Kafee (Tom Cruise).
Jessup’s speech in the courtroom and most other lines his character delivers were the unvarnished truth as I see it!
I guess Rob learned from Norman real good.
Reiner’s ‘good-guys’ are the enemies of America, and the Colonel Jessups , Archie Bunkers and the Donald Trumps are the hope…
One of the worst ever scenes in film I’ve seen is the end of that movie where Lance Corporal Dawson does the salute thing with the snot-nosed-punk lawyer in the courtroom…it’s forced and saccharine and ugly and so painful to watch.
I like the medium of film, especially Hollywood, but you have to watch the sneaky bastards, very carefully…
Probably, MARTIN. And if nobody becomes its centerfold, it will just go away.

Like bigoted racist father, like daughter.
Not surprised your Dad was Archie Bunker or that the right completely misunderstood All In The Family.
Meathead (and ‘little gorl’) may have thought he was sophisticated, but Arch didn’t call him ‘Meathead’ for nuthin. I’m sure we’ll all be called racist nazis for having an affection for old Arch.
Wow, those were the days when the poor thought of themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires? I still think of myself like that. God knows I’m still trying, and that’s the point. It’s how we were brought up.
Yup, Norman Lear’s own creation flew right over his head alright!
