    About All In The Family:
    One of the most acclaimed comedy series of all time, All in the Family with Archie Bunker as the irascible, highly opinionated, working-class family man who viewed the world on his terms and his terms only. When not arguing with his liberal son-in-law, "Meathead," Archie took refuge in his long-suffering wife, Edith, who tries her best to understand Archie's conservative ways and outdated beliefs.

      It was so beautiful, yet so many decades ahead of it’s time. And then the Jeffersons had Georges friend who had gender reassignment, again so far ahead of it’s time, especially when now in 2024, so many still refuse to accept those who are different.

    Wow….that was a powerful scene. You could feel Mike’s love for his mother-in-law; you could feel Edith’s grief and feeling lost. Mike had some powerful words as an atheist. Archie, for his part, displayed his desire to give thanks to the Lord even though he wasn’t very eloquent. A very moving scene ❤️

    • @pixel9548

      Absolutely! Having Mike leave Gloria to join a commune was just nuts and undermined all the growth in their relationship up to that point. It would have been better for him to die at a protest rally or even from illness. That would've left the love and trust intact and made Gloria a better spinoff.

He wants us to trust Him to do what's best for us even if we don't understand. Mike understood more about God than he thought he did. And I also hated algebra!

      Just because you don’t want to both love a show and yet be associated with a show in which a main character is an Atheist, does NOT give you the right to re-write the world around you.
      If you say you’re a Christian we won’t question it.
