    The inspiration for Archie Bunker was Alf Garnett!!

    I am sure he will be well chuffed with regards to what has happened to both Everton and Liverpool FC today…

    First time hearing of him, but bloody funny. I can definitely see the similarities with All in the Family, one of the funniest shows of all time. Funny how much the UK has influenced the US when you dig deep enough:)

    SirMixAlot! Spot on mate. Alf Garnett is just like Archie Bunker. Looking forward to the christmas specials tbh! People really missed the point. I saw it as an educational tool for the mass public!?

    To your point…the back-and-forth traffic in TV imports and remakes has been going on for a while. When Britain imports an American programme, it’s usually a quiz or game show, like Family Feud/Fortunes or The Price Is Right. US networks takes a national TV institution, like Till Death Us Do Part or Steptoe And Son, and turns it into an American national TV institution, like All In The Family or Sanford And Son, and audiences rarely have a clue as to their English origins.
    Even Three’s Company was taken from the UK….
