    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Carroll O'Connor was living in Italy when he was offered the role of Archie Bunker. He accepted the role only on the condition that the producers would pay for his flight back to Italy if the pilot was not picked up.
    • Goofs
      The house in the opening credits (that is presumably supposed to be Archie and Edith Bunker's house) does not come anywhere near matching the studio sets that represent the house in the show. For example, window placement and size is completely wrong, and the sets depict the house as having a large front porch whereas, the house in the credits has only a small stoop. Not to mention the house shown in the credits is a duplex; as seen on season three's "Lionel Steps Out", the Bunkers' bedroom window faces the Jeffersons' house, placing all four sides of their interior housing windows.
    • Quotes

      Mike Stivic: Why couldn't they say "Buddha, bless you" in Chinese?

      Archie Bunker: Because they don't say that, that's why. If they say... Well, if they say anything at all, it's "Sayonara".

      Mike Stivic: That's Japanese.

      Archie Bunker: Same thing.

      Mike Stivic: It's not the same thing!

      Archie Bunker: What are you talking about? You put a Jap and a Chink together, you gonna tell me which is which?

      Mike Stivic: That's right, because I find out about them. I talk to them as individuals.

      Archie Bunker: Sure you talk to them. You say, "Which one of you guys is the Chink?"

      Mike Stivic: [yells] I don't believe this. He's making me crazy!

    • Alternate versions
      In later seasons of the show, the theme song was re-recorded with Edith Bunker (Jean Stapleton) more clearly enunciating the line "Gee, our old LaSalle ran great!"

    The beginning of modern TV and quite a gamble at the time
    When All In The Family premiered in 1971 it took some chances. Remember that the CBS lineup at the time included The Beverly Hillbillies, Gunsmoke, and Green Acres - hardly the stuff of controversy. Controversial "Laugh-In" had been racking up big ratings for a couple of years, but second-rate NBC had nothing to lose by taking chances.

    Besides broaching all of the controversial topics of the day - abortion, the Vietnam War, homosexuality, and race relations, the show dared to say something that was seldom said on stage or screen before - that bigotry and racism thrived north of the Mason Dixon line, and found particularly safe harbors in some of the urban areas of what is normally thought of as the heart of liberalism. In this case, the Bunker household is in Queens, New York.

    The year is 1971, and before outsourcing is even a word, Archie Bunker is able to maintain a middle class lifestyle in New York City with a blue collar job and a stay-at-home wife, Edith. He will never be anything more than he is right then. Archie holds very conservative though not well thought out - or at least not well articulated - viewpoints. And then his 18 year old daughter Gloria marries a liberal. Mike is an atheist with a Polish Catholic background, and stands for everything Archie is against. The icing on the cake - he's a penniless student and he will be a guest in Archie's home for the next several years while he finishes the university degree that will enable him to look down on Archie forever afterwords. It's funny this last point is brought up only once, by the observant if subservient Edith, Archie's wife.

    For a few seasons all was well, and then this show and MASH suffered a series of crushing blows - the Vietnam War ended, Nixon was disgraced, and the controversial views held by Archie's son-in-law Mike began to enter the mainstream. Thus the show had to come up with new angles to stay fresh, and it did that, even managing to negotiate the loss of three of the four main characters and a neighboring family that played an important supporting role, the African-American Jeffersons.

    Today it looks somewhat tie-dyed, but it's still worth studying just to see mainstream viewpoints change before your eyes.

    FAQ3

    • how was "meathead" Michael, Stivich able to go to college, but couldn't afford his own home? College was a helluvalot cheaper in the seventies than it is today. Most could work a parttime job and pay for college. Problem was Meathead never worked so I don't know how he paid for college unless he got government grants.
    • In what episode do we first learn of the Jeffersons' dry cleaning business?
