“Archie Bunker” was a way for the creator Norman Lear to create a stereotypical “American” without really offending most of CBS’s sponsors. So Lear walked a fine line.

“All in the Family” was a copy of a British show, “Till Death Us Do Part”.

Trivia: the “Gloria” character (called “Rita” in the UK) was played by the same actress who now plays Mrs Hudson on Sherlock.
