Archie Bunker

As I listened to the opening song for All in the Family, I couldn't help but think how true it was...

Gee, our old LaSalle (a car) ran great.

Those were the days!

Take a little Sunday spin, go to watch the Dodgers win.
Have yourself a dandy day that cost you under a fin (five dollar bill).
Hair was short and skirts were long.
Kate Smith really sold a song.
I don't know just what went wrong!

Those Were the Days!"</div></div>

Re: Archie Bunker

I agree with most of it, short skirts are fine by me. That was a pretty good show though, I remember watching it on reruns growing up every now and then.

Re: Archie Bunker

I watched them first run. It was the best show of its time. Thanks for bringing back the memories.

My favorite moment was Achie and the Meathead sleeping in the attic (for what reason I can't remember) and Archie lecturing Rob that he shouldn't slide into tightly tucked covers from the head of the cot. He explained that he should have one side of the covers untucked so he could flap the sheets in case he passed gas during the night.

They also debated if one should put on a sock, sock, shoe, shoe, or sock, shoe, sock, shoe.

Loved that show. Thanks ...

What's a fair living wage?

Gloria was pretty hot back in the day. But then she got fat, went to Africa, and some starving tribe ate her.... or most of her.

That's straight from Wikipedia.
