About All In The Family:
One of the most acclaimed comedy series of all time, All in the Family with Archie Bunker as the irascible, highly opinionated, working-class family man who viewed the world on his terms and his terms only. When not arguing with his liberal son-in-law, "Meathead," Archie took refuge in his long-suffering wife, Edith, who tries her best to understand Archie's conservative ways and outdated beliefs.

I remember seeing an interview with Carroll O'Connor for the show's 20th anniversary. He said that a lot of the dialogue was the result of improvising between himself and Rob Reiner. He would start with an extra line and that would generate a laugh, and Reiner would build on that and it would just keep going until the rehearsal was stopped because everyone in the cast & crew was laughing. So of course those lines were written into the script.

I remember my Dad meeting my boyfriend, whom l later married back in 1981. My Dad was very much like Archie, my Mom nothing like Edith... My Late Husband was not a “Hippie” but a Biker with long hair and covered in tattoos. The meeting didn’t go well to say the least. My Mom kept pinching my Dad every time he said something obnoxious. Unfortunately, my Dad never got to met my Sweetie again, Dad died the following week. We named our first child after my Dad.

Too bad your father never got to know him. My father was also like Archie and right after high school, my sister married a biker. My parents were unhappy and sad at first. But the biker turned out to be a good, decent, honorable family man, well-loved and respected by both my parents.

I dont know about this. Edith as a wife and mother would never be portrayed in this fashion, imo. She was portrayed as docile and dumb as a brick. in today's shows, women tend to be portrayed as much smarter than their husbands in the script writing. Nit always, but most of the time.

I remember my grandmother watched this show. I'm seeing this for the 1st time. I'm blown away with how raw, and multi-dimensional the writing was back then. I thought The Jeffersons and Good Times went in with the storytelling and breaking down politics and social events of the time. I can appreciate the perspective All in the Family portray as well. It's like All in the Family was the precursor to the current talk radio.

Did you know All in the Family has spun off more shows than almost any other television program. All in the Family spun off Maude (1972) which spun off Good Times (1974). It spun off The Jeffersons (1975) which spun off Checking In (1981). It spun off Archie Bunker's Place (1979), 704 Hauser (1994) as well as Gloria (1982). That's 7 programs spun off from one TV show.
