Subtopic 1970s Shows

Was there anything more culturally revolutionary than Archie Bunker coming on TV and espousing right-wing views ?  What a bombshell it was...

Bunker was a bigot. Party politics were never part of the show, one just assumed that Gloria and Meathead would be Democrats and Archie would probably have been a Republican.

Soap was also a ground breaking show in the seventies with among other things, Billy Chrystal playing an openly gay man who turned into an old Jewish man.
