And just for that bit of ableist hate speech similar to that which Meathead in real life used against a Black man on Homophobe Joy Reid's TV show, I will now admit I liked Cousin Stephanie better than him. At least Danielle Brisebois could act. Archie giving her a Star of David necklace when...

Gee, I didn't think I'd cause such a stir with this. Even now, it's such a touchy subject. Obviously, I knew that going in, Right? Guess not. But I cannot Ever look at the show the same way Just because it contradicts Events I have experienced so Far in my life. I assumed that in my own thread...

One just put on the cover of a magazine for its 50th anniversary. All I ever read here are complaints after complaints about TV getting too preachy. Who do you think got the ball rolling on that? In 1960, no one cared who Ward and June Cleaver voted for or even if they voted for the same candidate.

No, he wasn't. Archie was right about Mike; he could not cut it outside of the bubble that is academia, then he couldn't cut it as a professor either if he left his wife and children to live on some commune. And after Joey was born, he accused Gloria of trying to make him gay through...

I have lived in California, where Mike and Gloria left Queens for, for 10 years and it has been eight since I wrote that review. If I wrote it today, I would be far more critical of the show than I was then.

After recent comments by Rob Reiner that I will not discuss, I Can no longer stand by this HTF review. I renounce its contents, Every single one of them. What was I thinking? After thinking some more, I Saw the damage I had done and wanted to Rectify It somehow. Goodness knows my Heart was in...

I don't necessarily disagree with this, but it's not up to me. It's up to the Blu-ray Disc Association.

When I was growing up, it was only through cable that I recall All in the Family or Maude getting shown where I lived (Chapel Hill, NC). Almost all the other Lear shows got local station reruns in the 1980s and early 1990s by which time they'd migrated to cable. Some of them went away for awhile...

MartinP, that's a great story about Apple Pie. Of course, now Television City faces rumors of a possible sale, Metromedia Square, later renamed Fox Television Center (a name Fox now uses for the facility that replaced it, coincidentally located on Bundy Drive, once they needed high-definition)...

You're welcome. It was the best I could do considering the company itself no longer exists. This article I found talks about what current media preservationists face (relevant to Sony more than to All in the Family), and there a bunch of links to citation.

Well, here's how the pros do it. Coke and Sony can't have mishandled them that badly if they still exist uncut. That was D'Urville Martin who was also in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner along with Isabel Sanford.

I think the show's changes may have been inevitable. Archie seemed to learn more from the moments where he actually interacts with the type of people he was prejudiced against in the real world than he did from anything Mike said to him. Having a grandson also changed Archie as well. George...

The world is crumbling all around us. Or so says one Archie Bunker (Carroll O’Connor) of 704 Hauser Street, Queens, NY, in reaction to a rapidly changing world in which he is afraid of being left behind. His daughter Gloria (Sally Struthers) and her husband Mike Stivic (Rob Reiner) insist, as...
