G'day Charles … just imagine if Archie Bunker and Alf Garnett got together. The mind boggles - thanks Charles - Lindsay

These two were perfect together; meathead and Gloria. Hilarious. A great show for the 70's, introducing us to parts of ourselves we did not know were there.

I like that you've captured the best and sweetest part here, Charles.
