Exactly, word for word? No not really but a lot of the politically relevant themes the shows had are disappointingly still relevant today, Archie uses the same gotchas as an excuse to be a racist pos and his son uses the same appeals to humanity and doing the right thing progressives have been using. Its like going back and watching West Wing, we’re still dealing with the same ineffectual liberals who get moral victories while losing the mandates of power and bible thumping conservatives making the lives of everyone who isnt a straight white dude a living hell.
Ok but lets say they did and Archie bunker plays this huge racist and drops the N word every chance he gets at home along with a host of other slang terms for races. Then come to find out he goes to work and is surrounded by different races and never drops any slang at his job or when they go out for beers or something. Kind of like that Archie episode with Sammy Davis Jr?

There was that one recreation episode they did on live TV with Woody Harleson from a few years ago I think?
Edit: did some more reading, have more to say
So after checking out the Wikipedia page apparently Cartman from South Park was heavily inspired by Archie. So do with that what you will.
