I wasn’t a huge fan...I watched it occasionally but that’s it. Of the lines I recall my favorite happened when Meathead bumped into Lionel. As usual,Meathead started in about “the struggle” and how terrible things are for blacks. Lionel listened politely for a minute or two and then interrupted Meathead and said something like: “Hey,Mike...how come you and I never talk about the weather? We black folks have weather too,you know”.
And I remember Lear pointing out that the character of George Jefferson was a Republican. And of course he made George look like a bufoon as well.
Yeah, I mentioned that scene earlier.
And in general Lionel truly liked Archie, he understood him, and saw him as a decent guy, he understood he came from a different time.
