Wel we know he liked Westerns, he talked about them quite a bit and John Wyan. He liked the 3 Stooges, he talked about some of those goofy horror movies, I can't see him as enjoying horror movies but he mentioned one or 2.

I remember him mentioning Gusnmoke and like Frump mentioned goofy horror movies. I always pictured them to be like low budget foriegn movies that were dubbed. He definetly watched sports and I could see him liking cartoons

Regarding cartoons, he read Dennis the Menace comic books -- so maybe he was also a fan of the TV versions (animated and old live-action). He was also seen reading a Tarzan comic book.

Since archie was a bigot i dont think he watched any black TV shows, the only show i can see him watching maybe is the flip wilson show lol.

He could have been like my grandpa and said Black ppl make the best entertainers lol

My grandpa was SORTA in ways bigoted but was not aware of it, but he was bigoted but was not really aware of it. He was bigoted in the sense that he would PRAISE other races and cultures but I've hear ppl find that offensive as well, like he would say, "Black ppl are naturally funny" "Chinese ppl are the smartest ppl on the planet and things like that.

Archie would not have liked to see his enemy george jefferson have his own show as a rich black man who owns 12 cleaning stores in america lol

biffbronson · 05-14-2013, 08:13 PM

I think you're mistaken if you believe a bigoted person like Archie wouldn't have watched African-American series -- in the past, entertainers like Nat King Cole, Sammy Davis Jr., Diahann Carroll, Robert Guillaume, and Cicely Tyson all did a lot of TV work, and it's a certainty that at least a portion of those watching were bigoted to some degree...! The popularity of stars like these stretched across all lines.

Being a war veteran,he might have watched "Combat" and "Twelve O'Clock High" in the sixties.The LAST show he probably would have ever watched would have been the hugely anti-establishment "Smothers Brothers".Even worse for him than "Pinko Cronkite"!
