Archie is right about the war. We all hate it, but there are times we have no choice no one wants to risk getting killed or loosing a child or loved one in war but when it comes to it there sometimes is no other choice my dad served in Vietnam he is a purple heart recipient and im so proud of him

Man fuck all that. As a man you have a responsibility and a duty to honor your obligations. If you put your signature on that damn line of the selective service form then you take your ass to war whether you believe in it or not. That’s some sissy shit to duck your responsibility and there’s no arguing that whatsoever. Fuck a draft dodger and anybody that agrees with em
I don’t think ANYone knew how symbolic “Meathead’s” freeloading was back then. Kind of like no one knew Rob Halford of Judas Priest was gay, yet every single sign imaginable was right in front of us all those years.
"Look at him running for the chow to Rin Tin Tin"🐶LMAO. Fighting over dinner would ruin my appetite. Some of the food they ate on this show looked good.
Well said, I totally agree. If I were Mike, I absolutely would have given the bulk of the money to Archie because he HOUSED and FED Mike for YEARS. However, I also would've bought a cheaper coat for Gloria and still sent a much smaller donation to McGovern.
There was an old serial movie series called The Bowery Boys. The main character, "Slip Mahoney", used stuff like that when he spoke. So did some comedian in the 60s/70s. Carrol O'Connor was a fan of The Dead Kids, who were the Bowery Boys in the earlier years. It's how Billy Halop got into AITF. He was a Dead End Kid. But Leo Gorcey aka Slip Mahoney was the one who mastered the skewed words. Watch a Bowery Boys film or a Dead End Kid film. You'll see the history.
@@FrankiesFancy My favorite Slip-ism was when he said to Satch [who, all of a sudden, developed a great singing voice after a blow to the head]: "You're about to reach the pineapple of your career" 🤣
I felt that Mike was wrong about wanting to give his $200 to McGovern campaign. I can't believe what I am saying, but Archie was right this time. Charity starts at home. Anyway, McGovern end up losing. 8/18/2024
Archie had a point; son-in-law needs to be considered to give money towards supporting the family especially living with him and not contributing…wouldn’t be happening today.
@@LonelyGirl-is5rs and Meathead doesn't have the right to freeload off of his in-laws either, yet he does it freely with no shame. It takes a hell of a lot of nerve for someone to live rent free in someone else's house and contribute nothing toward food or bills, and then turn around and spend money on frivolous or selfish things, or worse, give it to someone who has done absolutely nothing for you unlike your family has, and doesn't even really need the it to add insult to injury. You must be a dead beat too if you see nothing wrong with that. But that's pretty typical of this generation: no work ethic, no family values and zero regard for anyone other than yourself. The selfishness and audacity of some people is truly astounding, but unfortunately not even surprising anymore.
That second dinner fight with Mike's inheritance money and the McGovern campaign, I really felt for Archie. Can you imagine being in his shoes and hearing Mke say that after 2+ years worth of room & board? That's just not right. Archie should have given him 24 hours to pack and go.
The last time to date the Democrat Party had a decent ticket in the POTUS race was 1972 with US Sen. George S. McGovern (D-SD), I expected him to win in a landslide even on Election Day 1972. But if I were old enough to vote then, I almost certainly would have voted for one of the Socialist parties or the Peace and Freedom Party, who were even better. I am backing US Green Party POTUS 47 contender Dr. Jill E. Stein and her VP running mate Prof. Butch Ware for VPOTUS 50 in 2024!
I grew up with this show, and re-watching these episodes and clips, I find it funny that politics haven’t changed a bit. What HAS changed is the social media culture having the ability to cram it down our throats. “Nothing new under the sun.” Left will always be left, and right will always be right.
This is just a television show but don't you think Michael should respect the fact that that's Archie's house if you don't like what Archie says then there is a door in the front of that house that was the one thing that always got me about this show was how Michael was supposed to be right all the time while he leached off from Archie
This is crazy that a projection of all in the family could see all of this that we’re going through 50 years later. When this show came out I was 3 days old. If you look at the greatest sitcoms of all time all in the family is still number 4. They hit on every subject and something that couldn’t be done today.
Groundbreaking show, my family and I loved it. Well written and acted, Carol O'Connor was brilliant, he could make you hate him and then shortly makes you laugh and cry. ❤❤🎉🎉😊😊
17:58 the war … Another hard subject I can’t imagine what the men went through having no choice 😢 And I don’t judge the ones who went to Canada 🍁 I get it … Not everyone is cut out for that especially if they’re forced into it No way ! Hardcore ✝️ God Bless either way I can’t imagine it My dad was in the Army thankfully he didn’t have to fight a war at that time 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
So do I. I saw "The Draft Dodger" episode when it first aired (yes, I'm that old). Archie's exact words when he exploded were "I ain't talkin' about that war. I don't want to talk about that Goddamn war no more." I was shocked when I heard it, as that kind of language on television was unheard of at the time. I don't know why it's been edited in these clips to say "rotten, damn war."
@@IrishChola7 I'm that old too [I was 11 then], and I remember it exactly the way you remember it: He originally said "God damn" on the original primetime broadcast, and I still remember the chills it gave me to witness Archie's anger on a level that had never been seen on the show before. Ever since then, the line has been dubbed [in addition to his lip movements, you can hear a slight difference in the audio too]. Now here's where things get weird: Over the decades, I've tried to come up with info regarding the changing of the line. I've seen several interviews with people who were directly involved with the show, and they've all said that the line was changed BEFORE the original broadcast. Archie DID say "God damn" once before on the show [in the Heat Wave episode, I think], so it shouldn't have been an issue here, considering the serious tone of this episode. However, they say that at some point it was realized that the episode was going to air Christmas night, which was the only reason they re-dubbed the line. So who knows? My memories remain pretty sharp, but I've also found out that I've misremembered certain things from when I was a kid, and I'm certainly not going to question people who were directly involved with the show. I guess until video of an original broadcast turns up [such things do exist from that era, but they're rare], we'll never know for sure!
That is disgusting that Mike would give the money to any politician let alone one that Archie is opposed to. After everything Edith and Archie have done for Mike.
Mike looks like a horrible partner. Doesn’t want to contribute to the household, selfish reasons he doesn’t want to start a family. Typical lefty commie, I can’t believe how relevant a lot of these discussions still are.
10:27 what I learned in my latter years is that the Chinese food box is actually a bowl if you open it up ! Who knew ? Facebook did That’s where I had seen it All these years and didn’t know
Archie was partially right. Mike could have ar least offered Archie part of the $200. Mike seemed to gloat when he told Archie he was donating the money to McGovern.
he wasted it on mcgovern mike and many leftists didnt know that the nixon campaign had used every trick in the book, to get rid of any dem who could actually defeat nixon....they wanted mcgovern, because they knew he was so far left that many mainstream dems couldnt vote for him
14:13 no matter what Archie had a hard core belief in God and old the school way, as we know change is hard Listening to this now I see exactly what they were saying and so much is happening exactly what they were saying … I miss the old days, to me anyway Love it all ❤ Sadly
When it was on tv I really thought he was going to smack Mike when Mike yelled at him about the war in that last scene. (And this is not a political comment. I just really appreciate Carroll o Connor’s acting in that scene).
At 21:12, you can listen for the edit in Archie's words----the original line was, "I ain't talking about that goddamn war!" I believe that episode aired in EST had the original line, whereas episodes aired across the country had already edited it. Interesting how both 1st and 2nd pilots of AITF, Archie is explaining how the phrase "God Damn it" isn't vulgar, but the very first aired episode, that piece of dialogue was rewritten entirely.
It's amazing how many people eat the food that Archie's work and wages has bought, but then tell him or infer, that their respect for him has to be earned...
It's certainly controversial, but the Zero Population Growth movement was alive and well back in the '70s, when we ONLY had 4 billion people. That number has close to doubled, if it hasn't already. And there are conservatives who are members. The comedian Paul Lynde, who loved lambasting Carter on the Hollywood Squares, was a fairly strong supporter of it
14:22 Archie isn't that far off. When the world is crowded God gives us diseases, covid.. cancer, etc... Archie's views is uncanny😅 daft..he's so funny because he believes what he says.
Look he’s eating so fast sparks are flying off his knife and fork 😂
Haaa
Runnin' for the food like Rin Tin Tin!

Being in my 70’s, I could barely stand viewing the Vietnam segment 😮. Even now…
No one would understand unless they were impacted by it
That’s that
MIKE WAS OPEN, SILLY HONEST BACK THEN, THE REALITY IS YOUR CURRENT SITUATION IS IN NEED OF MONEY
Mmmm mmmm in heavy syrup 😂
😅
Surprise Package! ❤️
Fantastic writing and impeccable delivery......How can they keep a straight face I'll never know.
Archie always made me think things through. One of my favorite shows of that time.
were still arguing about the politics just like50 years ago
The cling peaches was brilliant.
Miss them lots as I too grew up watching this show and it was some so beautifully brilliant 😢❤
Are there HONESTLY no fans that would have wanted for David Brewster to wed Theresa Betancourt in the episode “THE DRAFT DODGER”?!
The rhetoric is as old as Methuselah -saving democracy!!!😂😂😂
Pick up …sticks😂😂😂
That is disgusting that Mike would give the money to any politician let alone one that Archie is opposed to. After everything Edith and Archie have done for Mike.
mike had a big problem with gratitude
Well he does in the end leave Gloria and their son for a nudist commune. Nice guy he ended up being.
@@lesweizman388Rob Reiner is a meathead and so is Mike.
Its just a show
Mike looks like a horrible partner. Doesn’t want to contribute to the household, selfish reasons he doesn’t want to start a family. Typical lefty commie, I can’t believe how relevant a lot of these discussions still are.
Young people don't realize they won't be young forever
Archie is right about what Mike should do with the money help the family out
10:27 what I learned in my latter years is that the Chinese food box is actually a bowl if you open it up ! Who knew ?
Facebook did
That’s where I had seen it
All these years and didn’t know
😂😂😂😂😂
Meat head will eat ANYTHING !!!
......"A Hoos Gow" 😂😂😂
Oh, thank you!!!!
This was cutting-edge progressive stuff back in the day.
The only reason alot of people have kids is because they forget to make a trip to the drugstore 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Archie was partially right. Mike could have ar least offered Archie part of the $200. Mike seemed to gloat when he told Archie he was donating the money to McGovern.
he wasted it on mcgovern
mike and many leftists didnt know that the nixon campaign had used every trick in the book, to get rid of any dem who could actually defeat nixon....they wanted mcgovern, because they knew he was so far left that many mainstream dems couldnt vote for him
14:13 no matter what Archie had a hard core belief in God and old the school way, as we know change is hard
Listening to this now I see exactly what they were saying and so much is happening exactly what they were saying …
I miss the old days, to me anyway
Love it all ❤
Sadly
Archies understanding of God was strange
$200 was going to make a difference
Back then it did. (Jan Griffiths).
I miss this show so much.
When it was on tv I really thought he was going to smack Mike when Mike yelled at him about the war in that last scene. (And this is not a political comment. I just really appreciate Carroll o Connor’s acting in that scene).
At 21:12, you can listen for the edit in Archie's words----the original line was, "I ain't talking about that goddamn war!"
I believe that episode aired in EST had the original line, whereas episodes aired across the country had already edited it.
Interesting how both 1st and 2nd pilots of AITF, Archie is explaining how the phrase "God Damn it" isn't vulgar, but the very first aired episode, that piece of dialogue was rewritten entirely.
I remember that. Today it seems like no big deal, but I remember at the time, just simply saying damn on network TV was scandalous.
Ya knew they had to have this #1 and end it here.
Archie just described Harris: "I WANNA B PRESIDENT!!!"
Love this show lol
It's amazing how many people eat the food that Archie's work and wages has bought, but then tell him or infer, that their respect for him has to be earned...
Mike:I wouldn’t want to be born into this world. Really Mike? Which time period would you enjoy being born in? Smh.
Life is difficult, no matter what time period a person was born in. (Jan Griffiths).
It's certainly controversial, but the Zero Population Growth movement was alive and well back in the '70s, when we ONLY had 4 billion people. That number has close to doubled, if it hasn't already. And there are conservatives who are members. The comedian Paul Lynde, who loved lambasting Carter on the Hollywood Squares, was a fairly strong supporter of it
@@66zebulon Doubled?? I think it's quadrupled.
@ That's probably all too true
14:22 Archie isn't that far off. When the world is crowded God gives us diseases, covid.. cancer, etc... Archie's views is uncanny😅 daft..he's so funny because he believes what he says.
