The episode of "All in the Family" portrays bias in sexual orientation, specifically toward heterosexuality. A recent television show that contrasts these ideas is "Will & Grace." In this show, homosexuality is glamorized and made to heighten a gay persons lifestyle. In "All in the Family," Archie is a well known bigot in the past media. Today, Will from "Will & Grace," is a well know flamboyant gay man. Archie made the sitcom almost a satire of the times, due to the fact that he was in reality a civil rights activist. The two sitcoms are similar because they make their everyday lives dramatic and comedic.
