|In this American adaptation by liberal TV producer [[Norman Lear]] of the [[BBC]] series ''Till Death Us Do Part'', Lear inaccurately depicted Archie Bunker, a blue-collar conservative and head of the Bunker family, with liberal traits like [[bigotry]] and ignorance while depicting his son-in-law, socially liberal and politically [[leftist]] [[hippie]] and [[Democrat Party|Democrat]] supporter Mike Stivic (referred to as "Meathead" by Archie), as the "voice of reason". Many episodes focus on on the political, philosophical, and cultural clashes between Archie and Mike, while Archie's wife Edith and their daughter Gloria try to keep the peace. In the original British series, Mike's counterpart on that show, Mike Rawlins, was a [[Trotskyism|Trotskyist]]. The American series spawned a sequel, ''Archie Bunker's Place'', which ran from 1979 to 1983.

Ironically, Archie Bunker despite being treated in a negative light ended up being more well-received by audiences than the main protagonist Mike Stivic, to the extent that the American series later spawned a sequel, ''Archie Bunker's Place'', which ran from 1979 to 1983, and his chair was one of the historical museum pieces in the Smithsonian.
