Are you an Archie Bunker?

[davester]

Most americans don't know it, but All In The Family was part of the invasion of british humor into american television. Similar to the british/american The Office franchise, All In The Family was the american version of the british comedy 'Til Death Us Do Part, with Archie Bunker playing as Alf Garnett. Similarly, Sanford and Son was an american version of Steptoe and Son.

Yep. And as Hal mentioned, you also couldn't do worse than the great Carrol O,Connor and Redd Foxx. The shows were like little plays.

I think a lot of Americans do know this, since it was mentioned in almost every single article ever written about those shows.
