All In Family couldn’t have existed without Reiner’s contribution to the character and the story. And to go on and entertain us with such iconic movies… sigh.
It never occurred to me before that trump was Archie Bunker, but much, much worse. There is a direct line between the two. Archie had something of a heart, whereas trump does not. Archie didn't grow up in privilege like trump; no million dollar loans for him. There is a slight chance that Archie may have been redeemable but trump is not. Mike (Meathead) was always the voice of reason, humanity and facts, against Archie's swamp of unchallenged, angry prejudices. On another note, why are the best "American" shows based on British shows? All in the Family was base on the sitcom Till Death Us Do Part.
You know, I feel like Rob's contribution to film has been massive, but now, this is going to be his legacy. I hope not. Such a talent. Seemed like a genuine, good guy.
I completely agree, Catherine. It's like that saying about being more than the worst thing we've ever done...it seems like this is the inverse - that regardless of how brilliant Rob Reiner was as both a director and an actor, he may very well be mostly remembered for how he died, and who killed him. It is so very tragic.

Yes…it’s so very sad :(
