704 Hauser was born during the rise of the 90s conservative era, and while left wing activist producer Norman Lear sought to perhaps sway some ratings by offering a very rare but somewhat honest glimpse of a conservative character on TV, Lear's liberal leanings overrode his ability to give a sincere portrayal of such and the show went down in flames after a mere handful of epidodes.
Unlike All in the Family, where the blue collar union Democrat was always wrong and portrayed as an ignorant, bigoted veteran fighting against the social changes taking place around him while such arbiters of such change were always correct and common sensical, 704 is the complete opposite, with the head of the household as the hero who is correct in his beliefs that things haven't improved, while his consetvative Republican son is now the one out of touch.
Some things will never change in Hollywood, which is its goal and lifelong ambition.
