Racial jokes are also the staple of television's other top comedy show, All in the Family-but with a difference. Where Flip Wilson kids conventional prejudices by turning them inside out, Family's archbigot Archie Bunker (Carroll O'Connor) is a living compendium of those prejudices.

One nice touch they devised to dramatize the rebirth theme: during the baptism, members of the cast circulated among the worshipers washing the mud from their hands.
