Damn_Underscore 04/05/23 4:46:21 PM #71:	TMOG posted... Archie's views were never presented as the "correct" views. All in the Family episodes typically revolved around Archie saying something stupid, the entire family arguing about why he's an idiot (usually except for Edith), and then something happening at the end of the episode demonstrating why Archie was wrong. Matt and Trey instead use their show to galvanize their libertarian views and present them in a way that tricks impressionable people into agreeing with them, no matter how harmful they may actually be. The characters representing their views are always shown as being level-headed, and the ones opposing said views are always ridiculous caricatures who only exist for the purpose of mockery. Its not really that simple though. If it was, the slow would not have been as popular as it was. Archie was very bigoted and had very backwards views, but he was also kind at heart and a great farther. Mike on the other hand had all the right views but hes pretty annoying and unlikeable. I mean, hes the Meathead. And that dynamic makes the show actually good and interesting. Actually Mike is a lot like some CEmen when you think about it lol This topic is about people who got their bad political views from a TV show or use a TV show to support their bad political views. Im sure there were people who viewed Archie Bunker in that way. --- Why should we wait for some better time? There may not even be a tomorrow. <cite>Damn_Underscore posted [p:972658474] in Remember w...
