| | '''''All in the Family''''' was a popular [[liberal]] situation-comedy which aired on [[CBS]] from 1971 until 1979, created by left-wing producer [[Norman Lear]], and starring the late actor [[Carrol O'Connor]] as [[Archie Bunker]]. It also starred [[Jean Stapleton]] as Archie's wife, Edith, [[Sally Struthers]] as their daughter, Gloria, and [[Rob Reiner]] as the liberal son-in-law Mike Stivic. The show's storylines featured Archie, inaccurately portrayed by Lear as a [[conservative]] bigot, engaging in constant arguments and debates with Mike (nicknamed "Meathead" by Archie), most especially regarding Archie's [[racist]] tendencies and stereotypes (depicted according to Lear's viewpoint). It was an adaptation of the British [[BBC]] sit-com ''Till Death Us Do Part'', of which Lear was a fan. | | '''''All in the Family''''' was a popular [[liberal]] situation-comedy which aired on [[CBS]] from 1971 until 1979, created by left-wing producer [[Norman Lear]], and starring the late actor [[Carrol O'Connor]] as [[Archie Bunker]].
