Thoughts. I Have Them...Meathead.

I'm beyond excited to watch the LIVE! All in the Family and The Jeffersons remakes tonight. Though as you watch All in the Family this time around, I'd remind my audience of this:
One interesting thing about All in the Family is that we're all supposed to laugh knowingly whenever Meathead puts Archie in his place for being intolerant/racist etc. But in the spinoff show Gloria, we learn that Mike ditched his wife & kid and ran off with some flower girl hippy chick. This, of course, after Gloria supported him for five years while he was in college. So maybe it was Mike who was the real douchebag. Hmm. I am a fascinating cat.
