Archie and Alex Keaton and Hank Hill are liberal invented. They are for the audience to laugh at not laugh with.

Yeah, but it doesn't seem to be working as well as they like. Too many people seem to be siding with the liberal invented conservatives...

Now for a liberal-invented-conservative that actually succeeded (from their point of view), I offer up 704 Hauser (sp). This was the comedy, circa 95, that offered a mirror image of All in the Family: the family was black, basically liberal with the standout being the conservative son, Thurgood.

I watched once, and the stereotype was pitiful. Basically, Thurgood was indeed a straw man for daddy et. al. to beat the rhetorical crap out of every week. I don't even think it lasted a season.

Similarly, some network tried to play off Limbaugh's success. They hired rampaging liberal Henry Winkler to play a bombastic conservative talk show host whose wrong thinking ways would be exposed each week by the wisdom of friends and family. I don't think it lasted a season, either.
