in the sound recordings of the watergate scandal the then-u.s president richard nixon was heard talking about how "all in the family" "glorifies homosexuality." he talks about archie bunker and calls michael his "hippie son-in-law" but not does not say the show's name. richard nixon liked the show, having been mentioned many times in the sitcom and even been the plot of the second episode of the show. nixon did not go on the show.
