His FIL on the show, Carroll O'Conner. "Archie" nicknamed him "Meathead". You'd really have to have watched this show to get it.

It was a show well ahead of it's time for it's bigotted racist comedic satire. It poked fun at both sides of the racist issues.

We baby boomers grew into adulthood on it.

It will probably send folks into a tizzy now in our overly politically correct world.....People do not have a sense of humor for satire now.

ETA:It looks like TV Guide may have episodes available online.

Correct. AITF was a great show, well ahead of it's time, and would never see the light of day today with the political correctness.

Rob Reiner in 2017? I am sure far more people today have heard of MoveOn.org. than him. They are sending out emails to people organizing protests for a constitutional crisis.

Yes, I am old enough to have watched All in the Family when is was originally run. Funny show. Archie and Edith reminded me of my parents then.

Seems that the courts were working like they were supposed to. So what's your point?

I have several blank poster boards and markers. My family is ready to make signs and take to the streets if Trump fires Mueller. We will take to the streets as long as necessary.

Didn't know judges were supposed to act like liberal activists instead of judges



Luckily Trump is confirming constitutionalist judges at a record rate

It's regularly shown in my area, on one of the main TV stations' secondary channels. Plus it's available on YouTube.

I agree that it was a great show -but not necessarily ahead of its time; it was very much a product of its time.
