Reverie concerning "All in the Family"
. . . Reverie concerning "All in the Family" . . .
All in the Family was always observed in my Pap's household. I didn't get the vibe of the humor as a little kid, but Pap sure laughed, puffing away on his charcoal-filtered smokes.
This one episode, Dingbat had made friends with a nice Hebrew gentleman, and of course--Archie doth protest. Furthermore, she said his name was Mr. Cunningham, to which Archie corrected, saying: "He's not Jewish then Dingbat, for a Jew can't have Ham in their name."
Cunningham can be traced back to the British Isles, kinda/sorta having an Irish meaning, being taken from a personal name, and from a double diminutive of the Old Irish personal name Conn, possibly meaning: Chief.
Hell, I don't know. But the 1970's and 1980's sure had excellent television shows--in my opinion.
