Jean Stapleton

 Jean played Archie Bunker's wife
 She was there to share his life
 When they had a spat
 He called her dingbat
 Which would begin the strife

Edith Bunker was so well portrayed by this actress that I don’t think anyone can follow or remake that character! Great poem and good luck in the contest!

Haha! Dear Joseph, I adore your witty and reminiscent limerick. A sitcom for the ages. Edith the long suffering icon of comedy. Thanks for remembering her. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

It was a great show! There was love amidst the constant bickering and put downs, there was lessons learned along the way, and Edith found her service with the elder folks and learned to speak her mind. Archie cried hard when he lost her. No family is perfect and we all have things to learn. And yes he was often the meathead…lol
