Archie Bunker's Bicentennial Minute

For those old enough, in 1976 CBS had a 60 second history psa celebrating the Bicentenial every commercial break. They were very good and pro-American. Now they'd be called Hate Crimes.

The excellent All in the Family had Archie go an an awesome roll which became his Bicentennial Minute

@akindheart While Norman Lear is a moonbat, he consistently produces fantastic satire

@Slade i look back and kind of cringe because the woke would never accept him but he was really popular

It’s hilarious how conservatives have forgotten that Archie Bunker was a liberal parody of a conservative.

@Lila15 Lord was the first choice to play Capt Kirk but he rejected the role. Good thing too since he comes off so serious.

I love how Lord, after years in Hawaii, never completely shook his Queens accent. You can hear it in Hawaii 5-O

Forest Hills also produced the Ramones (5 Jewish guys) and many other performers

@Slade I didn't know that about Captain Kirk. William Shatner is so iconic in the role, I can't imagine anyone else playing it.

I didn't know that about the Ramones, but then, that's way before my time.

I think Irish names are cool. Irish is a beautiful language if you've ever heard it. Enya's native language is Irish.

@Lila15 Lord and Dr Spock together would be too serious and the show never would have had the campiness.

Another Forest Hills prodigy is the iconic rappers the Sugar Hill Gang. Back when rap was fun.

My friend played playground basketball with them and they'd rap while playing
