Back in the 70s, there was one television character that told it like it was. He tried to protect his family from Meatheads, and protested the way society was going. He held on to his values, even if he didn’t English so good. Oh, and he was a bigot… so bigoted. Believe it or not, that character kinda, sorta came to Saturday Morning. Because… what a role model?
While you couldn’t adapt Archie Bunker to cartoons, you could do the next best thing: Create a blatant rip-off! So lets sweep some dirty dishes under the rug, and explore Arnie and family on THE BARKLEYS!
Thanks for 'tooning in!
