Streaming All in the family. It's as if we are stuck in time

[tulipsandroses]

I’m on the second episode and they’ve already talked about race, immigration, the war, the environment, the corrupt president, Edith called him tricky dicky. Archie went off about respecting the president. Archie going off about Democrats wanting to destroy everything with their socialism. And in true white man victim mode, blamed Mike when he burned himself when he touched the handle of a hot kettle.

2. As a kid, I didn't understand squat about what was going on, but I was on The Meatheads side

every time! I must have been being raised right. I got it at some level.

I'll go back and watch all of those again one of these days. I'm watching the old Lou Grant show now. I just saw the episode titled Hen House, in which Lou puts on a misogyny clinic. The lady involved gets the best of Lou in the end, but it's an episode they would never shoot today.

3. Holy Crap

I'm on the 7th season of a CD All in the Family box set. Loved the show. But the scary thing is it really gives you the feeling that things in America will never change.
