Doesn't make sense if O'Connor was left-wing... is this a typo...? Mick 04:45 14 Jun 2003 (UTC)
O'Connor's search for the drug dealer who was supplying his son ought to be mentioned here. --Howardjp 21:43, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- I suggest (and Carroll was a family member) that Liberal would be a better phrase to discribe his politics. Hugh's drug problems didn't change his attitude, he had already been moderatly anti-drug, it just increased his stand. I suspect I will change "left wing" to "liberal"
- Carol knew how to play Archie, and Archie's relationship with "meat-head". Since he and Nancy lived with Nancy's family while Carol was attending college. Nancy's father, Ralph, was somewhat like Archie (although not blue-collar). Ralph 2March06
[edit] Main picture
Shouldn't the main picture for this article be a picture of Caroll O'Connor playing Archie Bunker, since that's incontrovertibly his most famous role? --Hnsampat 23:31, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, the best picture would be a snapshot someone took before he died. If they upload such a picture and release it under a free license, we wouldn't have the copyright issues the current image raises. —Elipongo (Talk|contribs) 18:47, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The article is a mess
I did my best to straighten out a whole bunch of the TV series parts, but I see there are others in need of attention as well. I unfortunately don't have the time to mess with them right now; if anyone else wants to take a stab at it, that'd be great.
The problem is not only that much of this stuff is written in broken English, but also that there are no references for the information provided and a lot of it isn't even about O'Connor, but about other people or the projects he worked on. Obviously, this makes the article pretty disjointed and confusing. -- Captain Disdain (talk) 14:07, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Whistleblower
The article needs something about Carroll turning whistleblower on his son's drug dealer. Julia Rossi (talk) 01:48, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
