704 Hauser

It has been over ten years since I saw the first episode but I remember it well. I found it pretentious to have Archie Bunker's grandson Joey Stivic come to the house for no apparent reason and found it absurd that, after explaining who he was, he is invited into the kitchen to help himself to anything he wants to eat. I suppose it was an attempt to show the link "704 Hauser" had with "All in the Family" but found it too far fetched. The most amusing line in the show's short history was from another episode when, after misbehaving at church service, Ernie promises he will behave the next time. Rose replies,"(T)he next time you and I are ever in church together, one of us will be in a box"
