6. No, not that. And you're thinking Laverne and Shirley, anyway. |
|
I think it was "Father Knows Best, You Fucking Whore".

7. There are a bunch of great shows there |
|
But All In The Family was the real groundbreaker.

8. All In The Family, which I'd say is the best show evah! |
|
But look at that list of great shows. You couldn't get a list like that from today's TV shows.

10. The one that swapped genders |
|
And I never remember the name of it. It was brilliant.
All That Glitters - I haven't seen it since it first ran and it still brings back such memories.

11. Anybody who voted for anything other than 'All In the Family' is a meathead, and should stifle. |

Never really cared for his shows. Maybe because my dad was a real-life Archie Bunker and I didn't need to see him portrayed on TV.
Maude was definitely ground breaking and I did watch One Day At a Time primarily because of a serious Valerie Bertinelli crush, but I can't say I'd sit through any of them now.

18. I'll vote All in the Family, although.... |
|
it brings back bad memories. My parents actually thought Archie Bunker was an astute and accurate political and social observer.
Scary.
