You may find this interesting. The NY Times reported that many Americans thought of Bunker as a “loveable bigot”.
Back when people had a sense of humor minorities felt insulted that they were supposed to be insulted.

Can Archie Bunker Give Bigotry A Bad Name?

I cant believe Sanford and Son did not make the list. Some of the scenes with Julio (Gregory Sierra) are epic.

Best of Julio | Sanford and Son

I’m surprised that one made it through the censors.

Someone needs to confront Hanks about that show today. Watch the lefty stumble around.

June Cleaver vacuumed wearing heals and pearls, LOL.

They’d have Andy and Barney married and raising Opie who self identifies as the bird he shot.

Can’t have Tony making Jeannie live in a bottle. Never mind she and Samantha were the ones in charge.

Whaddya mean they wouldn’t make the Waltons? They’d make it with the characters actually playing themselves. Grandpa and Grandma were both gay. Grandpa’s significant other was Harry Hay - just look up his wiki but don’t say you weren’t warned. One of them said there is no better mentor to a 14 year old boy than a gay guy. Oh, those poor kids on that show.

#38 The reason why Mayberry was so peaceful
and quiet was because nobody was married.
Andy, Aunt Bea, Barney, Floyd, Howard, Goober,
Gomer. Sam, Ernest. T Bass. Helen, Thelma Lou,
Clara and, of course, Opie were all single.
The only married person was Otis, and he stayed drunk.
