Michael Tor Inspired by Lin Lane Archie Bunker was a rude SOB he starred in a sitcom called All In The Family.

Old Arch called up the local Army commander. He asked for five strong soldiers to help him move a tree that had fallen across his sidewalk. "But don't send me any of those, you know, darkies. OK, Sarge?' Sarge answers, 'Hope you are not disappointed, Mr. Bunker, but this is General Sol Cohen you are talking to, and five muscular Nigerian-born albinos are already on their way over, ...' lol. ~ gw

'Snickers' certainly fits 'Arch.' He loved 'em, and people snickered at him --- phony liberals, all of them, way more prejudiced than ole Arch, truth be told.

Ha ha Gershon. I love this episode your referring to. The show was funny and Archie always got back what he deserved. His reactions were priceless. This one made me smile and laugh he was quite the character but I think during that time the bigotry was rampant and I think that is why the show was such a success. Enjoyed your comment Gershon thanks a bunch for sharing...

Thank you Andrea. Yes it was a funny show. Archie always got schooled in the end by his family. It was great to watch his arrogance and behavior. Thanks for the visit hugs...

He just made her look smarter…lol. He had a lot to overcome. The kiss by Sammy Davis Jr. was priceless. Loved the episode with him and Mike where Archie had a conniption when Mike put on one sock then a shoe..it was all wrong. Have a blessed day, my friend.

Charlie I am glad you love it. He was an SOB. I tried to capture his personality. From reading your comment I think I succeeded. Thanks for your support and stay safe out there my friend...

I used to watch this show. Great laughs, though Archie was a bit terse.

I don't know this show but it looks like the ones that do, enjoy it, sounds like fun although Archie does sound somewhat rude, glad his wife was smarter than him, she needed to be! Blessings, Jennifer.

Jennifer Archie was so rude but he was hilarious. Please go on YouTube and type in All In The Family sitcom. You will be totally laughing I promise. It was a long running sitcom, I think you would enjoy it. Blessings back and a great big hug...

Yes I watched the show in its prime with my family. I was a child but the irony and bigotry was not over my head.

Karen this guy was the biggest Jerk there was. He always put his foot in his mouth. I do not know if you ever watched this tyrant of a man toward his wife, and son in law Meathead lol. Thanks for the comment. God bless you...

Lol, some things you just don't give out at random. Tom

So true Tom. Especially Archie the controlling Husband with racist undertones and no respect for his wife or anyone else in that manner. I have to say his show was funny and addicting. Most of the young folks Tom probably never heard of him or Meathead. Thanks for the comment my friend well appreciated...
