| Someone valiantly took it upon themselves to splice together three times the show predicted some of the issues we’d be dealing with in the 2016 election, some 25 years or so later. It’s uncanny.
Icons like Al Bundy and Homer Simpson, while caricatures, are the symbols of the great American middle class family. Sure they are crude, beer drinking, oafish and loud, and sometimes lazy. But they are always protecting their wives, their family, their marriage, and loving of country. They both faced temptations, and every time they held onto the sanctity of their marriages and the strength of the nuclear family. They weren’t well to do, but they are well-intentioned and good of heart. And that makes them the perfect role models for the American man. |
