Archie Bunker worked on the loading docks and as a cab driver on All In The Family.
Not to mention he opened Archie Bunker's Place. I think he was working there during the All in the Family years - before the title changed and became focused on the bar.

Homer was also the voice of Poochie - and I ROARED when Poochie made a cameo in one of the Treehouse of Horror specials years later. :rofl: Wasn't he also a baseball player at one point? Then he taught a class counseling people to better their love lives. :lol:

He played for the company team. He was also a fish gutter (when they went to Japan), Unirail driver, truck driver, chauffeur (Mel Brooks was one of his passengers), manager at the nuclear plant, ball setter at the bowling alley (his dream job). There was even a running joke on the series as to whether he still worked for the nuclear plant.

I know that in the pilot he was the newspaper editor as well as the sheriff and justice of the peace.

Andy was trying to earn money for Opie's college fund so he bought a laundromat as an investment. He ended up selling it when it became too much of a hassle.
