...certainly it is simply silly to suggest that survey data on the impact of stereotypes found in "All in the Family" should guide us in this matter. The social scientists who perpetrate this kind of scientific nonsense are hardly more than ideologues who, alas, pretend that all usage of stereotypes in creative works is invalid on its face, while of course celebrating those usages favorable to their own ideological predilections. Thus they would be the first to applaud or rationalize the stereotypes in the TV version of "Roots...
...might be argued that the use of stereotypes by Archie Bunker is an ideal way to use them, especially since one may even laugh at Bunker, the buffoon. But research on All in the Family shows that its impact is to reinforce the prejudice of those who are already prejudiced. There is very little movement ideologically among those who watch it.

To argue that the Mather-Dunster kitchen must be closed for breakfast to obtain maximum savings is specious: if the hot breakfast is to be rotated from House to House, as Fox has said he hopes to do, these savings will disappear next year anyway. Starting the cycle...
