Carroll O'Connor was a dyed in the wool liberal. He thought it was important to use Archie to expose these kinds of people. The show was brilliant in delivering the message. There are Archies all over.

It’s humor. Relax people. If you were raised right, know right from wrong. Just enjoy life people.

Carol Oconner was 100% different from the Archie character. He did it to make that point. He was the villan of the show.

As an Xennial (81’), I see David’s point. It used to be satire but nowadays people still use Archie’s language in a non satirical way and say we are all too soft. The whole point of the show was to shine a light on bigots. I grew up with a stepfather who was Archie Bunker to a T (even looked and sounded like him). But he wasn’t being sarcastic. He loved that show and chose the antihero as his role model without understanding the irony.

Archie Bunker was racist, but he didn’t know he was racist. He had no idea.

Fun fact, this show was made to poke fun at the average American family, they intentionally make Archie the way he was to reflect the average white man at the time 😅

Carol O’Connor is on record as saying that he portrayed Archie Bunker knowing that Archie Bunker was a bad man, and with the intention of having him seen as such. Also, Mr. Smiley, I don’t know how old you are but I’m also Gen X in my mid 50s. I was in elementary school when the show was a hit show. It’s not like we were full grown adults or the intended audience.
