That's good point. I can make an argument of how insipid the show was but he IS a true nerd icon and definitely deserved to have at least a mention.
I thought that the coverage on the Archie Bunker show was fantastic - I had honestly never seen the show and I had NO idea how must it pushed the envelop in terms of his bigotry and racism (and people say that Family Guy pushes the envelop - Well, here's its obvious predecessor and inspiration).
I'll have to watch the second episode again. I only watched the first half and then had to crash.
What DID come to my attention though was Seinfeld talking about the show and about how he and Larry Sanders would sit and talk about the show and talk about nothing... And the idea of Seinfeld and Sanders sitting in a room together talking about nothing... Good GOD that made me want to slam my head against a wall.
