Archie Bunker
Archie Bunker
was a
fictional character
in the classic and top-rated
1970s
American
television
sitcom
All in the Family
. He was a
racist
,
bigoted
,
blue-collar worker
played to acclaim by
Carroll O'Connor
. In
1979
the show was retooled and renamed as
Archie Bunkers Place
, finally going off the air in
1983
. Bunker lived in the borough of
Queens
in
New York City
. The show got many of its laughs by playing on Archie's bigotry, although the dynamic tension between Archie and his son-in-law
Michael "Meathead" Stivic
(
Rob Reiner
) provided an ongoing political and social sounding board for a variety of topics. Other family members include wife
Edith
(
Jean Stapleton
) and daughter
Gloria
(
Sally Struthers
). Such was the name recognition and societal influence of the Bunker character that by 1972 commentators were discussing the "Archie Bunker vote" (i.e., the voting bloc comprised of urban, white, working-class men) in that year's
presidential election
, and the term "Archie-ism" was coined to refer to the many
malapropisms
that Bunker used on the series.
