Archie Bunker Bunker lived at the fictional address of 704 Hauser Street in the borough of Queens, in New York City. "All in the Family" got many of its laughs by playing on Archie's bigotry, although the dynamic tension between Archie and his liberal son-in-law, Mike, provided an ongoing political and social sounding board for a variety of topics.

Archie was modeled after Norman Lear's father Herman Lear and on Alf Garnett from the BBC1 sitcom
