2. The one where Archie almost got flattened at work. He's claiming it

was a miracle and "meathead" is saying it was just luck.

4. Well it's kinda weird.

He supports some social programs and I have never heard a racist statement come out of his mouth, ever. So he's not really archie in that way.

No, what shocked me about it was that he is really against foul language, drinking, and sexy scenes on tv.. and AITF fits the bill on the first two counts. I've seen him change to channels in a real hurry many times if he was offended by something. (And just now he's started looking for something else to watch because the language got a little thick on AITF. Oh well. *lol*)

6. Ha. It got to be too much. The weird thing is that show is much

smarter and edgier then anything we have today when it comes to social, racial and gender issues. They didn't hide it. It was all right out there.

I remember, as a kid, it being on TV with my parents watching it but I think I really was paying attention to it because I remember the shows quite clearly.

Good Luck. :hi:

8. Yeah. It was a good show, as was M*A*S*H and Star Trek and

Barney Miller a lot of the shows I grew up on. Not sure if what's being offered these days is as good, ya know? But hey, my kids can watch the shows I watched so maybe they'll be ok. *g*
