Prinze's death was tragic, but the fact is that Chico And The Man was trying to be another version of All In The Family with Jack Albertskn as a cranky racist old man who is forced to deal with people he has prejudices against. After the Archie Bunker character became popular there were attempts to make other jokey controversial sitcoms.
