FameRank: 6

"Archibald" ""Archie"" "Bunker" is a fictional character/fictional New York City/New Yorker in the 1970s top-rated United States/American television sitcom All in the Family and its Spin-off (media)/spin-off Archie Bunker's Place, played to acclaim by Carroll O'Connor. Bunker, a principal character of the series, is a veteran of World War II, reactionary, Conservatism/conservative, blue-collar worker, and family man. The Bunker character was first seen by the American public when All in the Family premiered on January 12, 1971, where he was depicted as the head of a family. In 1979, the show was retooled and renamed Archie Bunker’s Place, finally going off the air in 1983. Bunker lived at the fictional address of 704 Hauser Street in the borough of Queens in New York City.

All in the Family got many of its laughs by playing on Archie's bigotry, although the dynamic tension between Archie and Modern liberalism in the United States/liberal Mike provided an ongoing politics/political and social sounding board for a variety of topics. Archie appears in all but seven episodes of the series (three were missed because of a contractual dispute between Carroll O'Connor and Norman Lear in List of All in the Family episodes#Season 5: 1974–1975/Season 5).
