Archie Bunker's Chair from All in the Family
Archie Bunker's Chair from All in the Family
- Description
- The popular and controversial sitcom All in the Family (CBS, 1971-79) broke with convention and shattered taboos by depicting, in the words of creator Norman Lear, "real people dealing with real issues."
- Social conflicts of the day played out in the Bunkers' living room as the bigoted Archie clashed with his liberal son-in-law and his wife Edith struggled to keep the peace. With sharp but affectionate humor, the show exposed the flaws and complexities of one American family.
