Did you ever see the British sitcom on which it was based, “Till Death Do Us Part”? In Britain the satire was definitely missed by many, with the main character, Alf Garnet, being very popular.
I have never seen that show, but I learned a little about what you're talking about by reading Rolsky's book. Indeed, many people laughed with, not at, Archie Bunker.
