How so? Archie was the smartest guy on the show by far.
I recall the episode of "All in the Family" where Archie said he could end terrorists taking over airplanes. Just hand out handguns to each passenger as they board, and the passengers could take out the terrorists. Done in humor, but makes sense in a 2nd Amendment sort of way.
Yep. Haven’t seen any reruns in many years, but, it always seemed to me that meathead was, well, a meathead, a smug sanctimonious liberal , and his character displayed that.
