The Keaton parents were unabashed liberal hippies.

Alex was the conservative. Great show.

The Keaton parents were unabashed liberal hippies.

Yes, and at the conclusion of each episode, conservative Alex learned a lesson from his liberal parents.

I wouldn't call the show conservative, since liberalism nearly always trumped conservatism in the show.

Alex was nothing more than a younger, more educated Archie Bunker.
