I think so, too. And I think both would be hits if they came out today. They'd be written more topically for these times, of course, but I think they would work well.
Those shows were actually very progressive for their times. Archie Bunker was the backdrop for addressing many social issues at the time. Those shows were brilliant, and if well done, I think they'd do just fine.

All in the family addressed inter-racial marriage, bigotry, sexism and all kinds of issues.

I wonder how the TV series All In The Family would do today if, say, it was premièring this week?

We new Archie and Ralf were wrong, and we laughed. That's the thing, back then we laughed. Today people are too sensitive and are not allowing themselves to laugh.

Been doing a "Full" virus scan on a 3 Terabyte drive that came from China and it is almost full of files. I will not allow it to touch a network until it is fully scanned...... the virus scan has been running for over 24 hours and it is still scanning...now at over 65,000 files

And I still have another bit of software to run on it before I will deem it safe
