What made Carrol O'Connor's brilliant character, Archie Bunker, so important, so instantly recognizable world-wide, was the humanity O'Connor gave the character, to soften his cave man, reactionary, un-educated views on life. It made the bad things he believed in all the more scary coming from someone you wanted to like, underneath all the bluster. ALL IN THE FAMILY was the BEST TV Show-- comedy or non-comedy-- of all time.
Archie was too mean for me.
Archie was funny without a doubt, but the best t.v. dad was Sheriff Andy Taylor, with a close second by Ward Cleaver and Professor John Robinson.
Hmmmm....gee, I don't know. I like those Dad's but, What about Ben Cartwright from Bonanza and Charles Ingles from Little House? I'm watching this article every day. I can't wait to see who's #1.
I should have also added,Ben Cartwright,Rick Marshall,Lucas Mccain and Howard Cunningham
