|American adaptation by liberal TV producer [[Norman Lear]] of the [[BBC]] series ''Till Death Us Do Part''. In this series, 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" (in the original British series, Mike's counterpart on that show, Mike Rawlins, was a [[Trotskyism|Trotskyist]]), with many episodes focusing on the political, philosophical and cultural clashes between Archie and Mike while Archie's wife Edith and their daughter Gloria tried to keep the peace. Followed by a sequel, ''Archie Bunker's Place'', which ran from 1979 to 1983.
