" All in the Family", a highly popular and influential TV series from the 1970's. Bender is impersonating iconic blue-collar Brooklyn slob Archie Bunker, and Leela is (sorta) portraying his long-suffering wife, Edith. The easy chair Archie sat in throughout the series is now part of a television display at the Smithsonian museum. EDIT: FYI, about Led Zeppelin... When Jimmy Page was assembling the group, Keith Moon (drummer from The Who) got word of his plans and predicted the group would go down "like a lead balloon" (this is a common English expression). Bassist and keyboardist John Entwistle thought it would be "more like a lead zeppelin." Page took the phrase and manager Peter Grant changed the spelling to "led" in order to avoid mispronunciation.
