This was on when it originally aired and syndication in my house, and yes, we laughed at Archie. I realize now, I am really thankful for the show. It taught me as a child what my family thought of the issues it portrayed, in a lighthearted way. They wouldn't just bring this stuff up to talk about, and I may not have asked. I am thankful my family pointed out the absurdity of "poor Archie".
