Once a Meathead, always a Meathead.............................

Did you know that the characters Michael & Gloria were supposed to be the STARS of 'All in the Family'?......

It drove Norman Lear crazy that no matter how they wrote the scripts, Archie was the star..............

The guy is on a mission to remind everybody that he was called MEATHEAD for a very good reason.

It’s also interesting to note that he has never done anything of significance in his entire existence. Nor will he.

Meathead should see a shrink after Israel bans Omar and Tlaib.

Oh, in "demanding" or merely suggesting. Either way, he can sit down and STFU.😠

Would love to have an Archie Bunker character on TV today, reacting to MAGA/KAG!

I loved Archie, Edith and Gloria (most of the time).
However, I couldn’t take much of Meathead.

Strangely enough, Carroll O’Connor was decidedly more liberal in real life.
That was dramatically reflected in his subsequent series, In The Heat of The Night, set in the South wherein he even had an interracial romance.

Rob Reiner and Michael Moore could be brothers.

How a person can conflate and compound his anti- American bullsheit so stupidly!? Reiner is indeed a Meathead — ha!

I thought Meathead was still working on the Russian collusion story.

Rob Reiner’s howling at the moon - one of the last stages of Trump Derangement Syndrome. What an idiot.

Netanyahu said that Israeli law prohibits entry to those calling for a boycott of the country. After all these racist jerks likened Israel to the Nazis in Germany that killed 6 million Israelis. Go figure that? Not so bright? What does this have to do with Trump anyway?. It is amazing the crap that is going on in what use to be the good ole USA? Needs be Make America Great Again!

I think Trump should be impeached because he wants the toilet paper dispensing from the bottom.

No, wait! I think he should be impeached because he uses too much QT.

No, wait! I think he should be impeached because he once wore brown shoes with a black suit.

These folks don’t understand just how dumb thy look to centrists.

In the same way, were Mike and Rita supposed to be the stars of Till Death Us Do Part (the show that AITF was derived from), and not Alf Garnett?

Yes, the law of unintended consequences definitely applied to that sitcom.

No doubt the Hollywood crowd were horrified when Archie Bunker turned into a folk hero while the characters of Meathead and his wife (Sally Struthers) were turned into caricatures of insufferable free-loading, ungrateful adult children - too incompetent to even get their own apartment.

One thing is clear, no acting was required on Rob Reiner's part for the "Meathead" role. All he had to do was just be himself.

Normal Lear would have learned how to avoid that if he saw what modern day film and TV does. They simply create their lefty characters and make them Mary Sues, perfect in every way, universally acknoweldged as wodnerful by all the other characters, even those who should dislike them, and then have them do their lefty stuff while all the other characters praise them for how clever and forward thinkging they are.

Then we could have been treated to scripts like these:

Meathead: "Arch, Nixon went too far!He has to be removed."
Archie: "Gee, Mike. I never thought it could come to that but I guess you're right"
Meathead: "Don't worry, Arch. I'll help you get through this."
Archie: "Thanks Mike, I don't know what I'd do without you."
THE END

From the article:

"Rob Reiner got sold the huge that lie the Russians were behind Trump’s election."

It was an easy sale.
