Would You Say The Bunkers Were A Dysfunctional Family??? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TV’s classic dysfunctional household, and the model for many family sitcoms for the past four decades, the Bunkers are the generation gap embodied. First and foremost, there’s Archie Bunker, the bigoted, working-class father and armchair social commentator. By his side is dedicated, long-suffering, pre-Women’s Lib wife Edith. And then there’s his poor daughter, Gloria, who seemingly spends all her time mediating quarrels between her dad and her hippie husband, Michael — better known to Archie as “Meathead.”
