Archie Bunker (Score 1)

The same sorta thing happened around the time Archie Bunker was on TV. My father and his brother both watched the show (as everyone did). One of them took it as satire/social comentary wraped in a thin veil of comedy, and he learned a little about himself. The other one took it as jusification for his hate. I think we all know by now that it was brilliant (for the time) TV. Lucky for me and my family, my father learned enough through that characters ugly side, to look into himself and make a change. His brother did not. There are people who recognize when they are being mocked. Others can just go fuck themselves.
