Some TV moments resonate long after they air, and one such scene is Archie Bunker’s defense of the National Anthem from All in the Family. Though it aired over 50 years ago, this moment has recently gone viral, reigniting discussions on patriotism, respect, and cultural change.
Archie, played by Carroll O’Connor, was an outspoken, irritable patriarch whose controversial views often served as a critique of societal norms. While his opinions were frequently outdated, they were presented with humor, making him a character both ahead of his time and emblematic of past tensions.
