Who were Dingbat and Meathead?
In Queens, New York, Archie Bunker (Carroll O'Connor) was constantly up in arms over his "Dingbat" wife, Edith (Jean Stapleton), rebellious daughter, Gloria (Sally Struthers) and her husband "Meathead" Mike (Rob Reiner, the son of Carl Reiner, who created the "Dick Van Dyke Show),
Says Struthers: All the subjects we explored on the show are still relevant today." When Sammy Davis Jr. planted a big kiss on Archie'scheek, "that moment became the longest laugh in the histoy of the sitcom!" she says. "Archie was both a flawed and lovable character, and we all have someone like that in out family."
