Re: OT - Favorite Comedies
oh yeah, can't remember the names, but with characters archie and edith bunker. it was hilarious and touching. examined the social issue's of the day. one thing i like about it was that no one person on it was held up to be 'what you are supposed to be'. everyone had their faults (even edith  ) and everyone had their good side (even archie  ). all in the family, that's it.

Re: OT - Favorite Comedies
Tiny Toons and Animaniacs were awesome. Now its all about Simpsons and The Family Guy.
As for movies I love the Kevin Smith movies.

Animaniacs I can't disagree with (Are you pondering what I'm pondering?) but I never rated Tiny Toons. Simpsons are excellent and Family Guy is pretty good.

This is another show I just don't like, even after all these years. I can't really pin it down as to why I hate this show. Maybe at the time it came out I was in my early adolscence and just didn't get the social commentary, or maybe Archie was just too much of a bigot for my tastes. I just don't know. Even now, I can't stand to watch the re-runs. |

Re: OT - Favorite Comedies
yes, but that was deliberate. the guy who played archie was actually a liberal and i think he wanted to stick all the arrogant stink into one box, so to speak.

I thought the show was a hysterically funny social satire, but you really needed to be at least working for a living to appreciate it. You also need to understand the world at the time it was aired. Now, people are afraid of each other, fearful of expressing dissenting honest opinions. The pointed commentary of "All in the Family" would be too scary.
