Anyone notice a trend here?

All British and all written years ago.
Well, sure the character has been done a million times. Al Bundy is basically the same character. Homer Simpson in a way aswell. But, as far as pulling it off and making you believe that Archie Bunker was a living breathing soul that you might see down at the local pub, the character combined with the acting of Carol O'Conner wins it for me.
