I think that the show “All in the Family” and the show “Glee” have similarities in the sense of how some of the characters view gay people. They are different in how some of the issues are shown and the environment of the shows.
In the show “All in the Family” the father of the family Archie has a problem with gay people. He thinks that one of his son’s friends is gay and he is just very rude to the boy. He judges the boy without even getting to know him. He makes rude remarks to the boy and this reminded me of the show “Glee”. In an episode of “Glee” a boy named Finn is moving into his mom’s boyfriend’s house and has to share a room with his son Kurt who is gay. Finn is very rude to Kurt at first and calls him all kinds of names. Finn reminded me off Archie in the sense that he didn’t get to know the boy he just judged him.
The shows are different in the sense that “All in the Family” deals more with family and home life while “Glee” deals more with high school life. The settings in the shows are completely different. “All in the Family” is shot mainly in the home of the Bunker family, while “Glee” is shot mainly in the high school of the kids in the show. In “Glee” they are mainly dealing with the everyday struggles in high school with trying to fit in. “All in the Family” doesn’t really deal with the whole trying to fit in like they do in “Glee”.
I believe that these shows are similar and different in these ways. “All in the Family” deals more with older issues from back in the 1970’s and “Glee” deals with present day issues that we can relate too.
