I agree and suspect we may be wired much the same FRiend.

Here we had a tv show where the dope smoking loser who had never achieved anything was always self-righteously lecturing Archie.

So who was Archie? Probably a guy who fought in WW2 or Korea, came home, worked his tail off to marry his sweetheart, own a house, and raise a little girl. He was supposed to be the buffoon?

I was THE typical rebellious teenager in those days and even dumbass me was still able to see through that propaganda.

I remember a few times on the show where Archie said, "You know, I fought in doubleya-doubleya two--the Big One!"

In the show Archie mentioned a few times during WW2 he served in the Army in Italy.
