@@NYCgirl927 It's funny I walked on that very block dozens of times back in the day and never knew that was the house used for the opening for all in the family.. Before the days of internet we couldn't find things out so easily.. I would imagine that must be awkward for the home owners having people come to photograph and video their property..

Typical of most shows of the period, the "set" never matched the outside shots - All in the Family, Brady Bunch, Happy Days and others I can't think of right now.
You only saw this version of their house in the opening credits. Everything else was recorded on a constructed studio set. It's how a majority of sit-coms operated to save costs.
Thanks so much for posting this. This is embarrassing to admit, since I do a lot of proofreading at work, but I finally noticed, decades after the '70s, that there were scenes that took place on a front porch, and the opening credits proved that there was no front porch, and you're proving it now! Some proofeader, right?
You're welcome! .. Yes, this house was only used for the opening intro and there was no filming at this location.. You can clearly see that there is no porch.. Thanks for watching!
@@QueensNativeNYC By the way, I was visiting cousins in Mamaroneck, and they showed me Carl Reiner's house on Bonney (SP?) Meadow Rd in New Rochelle. If you're a Dick Van Dyke Show buff, that's where the Petries lived.
Watching the show you get the feeling it was a stand alone house with a porch but the credits showed something different, so I’m guessing the Jeffersons would’ve been in the adjoining house on left side of the screen 😂
This house was only used for the opening intro.. There was no filming in this location.. All the filming I believe was done in front of a live audience in California, it's likely they were never even in any house at all, but just a set-up designed to look like a house with a fake porch, alleyway, and whatnot.. Thanks for watching!
I was 21 years-old when "All in the Family" first aired in 1970, so I remember it well. The house the Bunker's lived in was nothing like this on the inside of course, and had a little porch in front. You notice that when anyone opens the front door. The house pictured in the video is so much nicer than the old place where Archie lived.
The house in this video was only used for the opening intro.. The location where the actual filming took place does seem to have a different layout then the house used for the opening intro.. I guess they should have made it look more comparable.. It does make it seem kind of flawed.. Thanks for watching and sharing!
I was going to say it was filmed in front of a live audience, and the outside of the house they show doesn't really go with their staged living room either. When you walk in the front door there is a closet to the right as you enter, looking at the front of the house you can clearly see a big window to the right of the door meaning the door would be in the middle of the front Livingroom which it's not. It is interesting looking back to compare the opening theme song and look at the duplex to compare it with this picture. The tree was just planted looks like and the flagpole still there, the front remolded with vinal siding and new windows since the 70's too.
One of the greatest shows of all time, I still watch the repeats. On the show wasn't it a single family house? I always wondered where that house was located. Thank you for sharing it. God Bless!
Your right, it was a single family home, several scenes were shot on the front porch ,which the town home didn't have ,the only time a town home was pictured was in the opening credits when the camera zoomed in on the front of the house.

It isn't perfect, but you can get a clear view of the house, and even better, he grew up just two blocks away from where Helen Keller lived, on the same street.
Awesome! On All in the Family the Bunkers lived at 704 Hauser Street, which, incidentally, became the name of a spinoff show in the 90s, starring John Amos (the dad on Good Times), as a staunchly liberal Democrat with a conservative son (a reversal of sorts from the Archie Bunker era). The same internal setting was used for the new show, which only ran for five episodes. It was created by Norman Lear, just like All in the Family.
Wow, that's cool thanks for sharing..

@@QueensNativeNYC , there are severak episodes on UA-cam. I watched a few minutes of the first episode-one of only about five that were filmed. The show definitely had potential, especially with John Amos at the helm. But I think it succumbed to poor ratings.
Yes, I agree.. The true row houses are in the western section of Queens, near the border of Brooklyn in Ridgewood.. Of course many of the Brooklyn neighborhoods have row houses too.. Thanks for watching!
I used to call it a row house, but it IS a duplex. For that matter, a few blocks from where I live (in a town smaller by several degrees of magnitude than Queens), are quite a number of duplexes.
In Philly we call these “twins”. I thought the same for New York. Duplexes are typically a rowhouse or a twin that is split into apartments on each of the floors.
Boy the way that Edith played songs that made the hit parade. Folks like us had it made. We could use Archie and Edith again. LOVING 🎵 Remembering 🎶you! 🎵 🏆 🎉
George and Louise lived next door to them as we have seen on the show, then they moved to a high rise apartment building in N.Y, and made their own show called THE JEFFERSONS.

I watched all in the family with my mom, i was a little girl when it started airing in 1972, i was 6 yrs old and i wondered why the outside of the house didn't match the inside 🤗
It looks like it’s leaning. I always noticed that the view of the house at the start of the show never matched when they showed the porch in the episodes.
All in the Family was filmed before a live audience, as it says at the beginning of every program, the scenes were studios built for the program, this is not the house !!!!
This isn't really the house the Bunkers played in, the Bunkers played on a live stage in Hollywood California, at the end of the introduction, you can see that the door of the house doesn't match the door we see on the live stage! and there is no porch out there like we saw in the show, so believe it or not, this isn't the house they played in! they just made it look like that, i think because the Jeffersons lived just next door to them.
@@QueensNativeNYC Yes you're right and i know that, i think there are people who believe this is the house they played in! hahaha i hope more people now know that isn't the house the Bunkers played in! ha, that house now in Queens NY is sure a beautiful house! thanks for your reply!😊
Yes, the house definitely has new aluminum siding.. In the 70's it had some type of asphalt shingle that gave it a fake brick appearance.. Thanks for watching!
It's amazing how people embrace "All in the Family", and don't even know what made it great. Obviously, the writing, the main four actors, all of the great supporting actors/characters, the willingness to take on hot-button topics but with a universal family dynamic that makes it timeless. To me, the main genius of the show was making Archie Bunker -- a bigoted, chauvinistic, somewhat verbally abusive, mule-stubborn guy stuck in a much earlier time frame - into a lovable, and even likable, guy. Carroll O'Connor (who would have found Archie Bunker to be an objectionable meathead) gave a brilliant performance in becoming AB, and showing some actual tenderness underneath the bluster. Along the way, thanks to Norman Lear and the writing staff, they also showed how Mike -- pigheaded and self-righteous in his own way -- could learn a thing or two from Archie. But those who come on these threads and throw in shots at liberals and Biden show their extreme ignorance as Donald Trump - and those of his ilk - are the worst of Bunker with none of his redeeming qualities. None, N-O! So go on, and keep supporting a psycopathic insurrectionist who hates America and also hates you. But yes, I guess we do agree that AiTF was a brilliant series.
Carroll O'Connor and Rob Reiner became so close during the filming of All in the Family because O'Connor was politically to the left of Reiner. He was the polar opposite of Archie Bunker poilitcally
I only found out about that house a few years ago.. And like you I probably passed by that house hundreds of times with my car, its a nice passage way to woodhaven blvd instead of dealing with the intersection of Metro and Woodhaven.. Thanks for watching and Sharing!
Carroll O'Connor always called it satire, which it was. In an interview he said it was making fun of America back then. It is said that something like this couldn't be made nowadays. I disagree and I consider myself a liberal.
We would call this a duplex. But then again I am from rural Georgia. As a kid I liked All in the Family because I didn't know anybody who talked like that...ter-lets (toilets), spurled (spoiled) and versed (voices)...it was hilarious to me. And I also can say that Archie was the one who taught me a whole bunch of racial slurs I'd never heard in my life. I asked my Mama what a wop, mick, and a hebe were and she told me I couldn't watch that anymore, lol!
Back in the day many of the homes in Queens did look a little shabby.. But that definitely was the house that was used for the opening intro.. Most people in the area do take more pride in the way their homes and properties look today.
The tree sure has grown. At end of the show there is a still shot just before they start filming down the street showing all the houses and that tree looked like it had just been planted.
This was the house that was used for the opening intro, that's all.. None of the episodes were filmed at this location.. A porch is shown in front of the house on some of the episodes when the cast members step outside the door.. That was definitely a flaw as it does not match up with the house that was used for the opening intro..
This house always had an enclosed porch but Archie’s house looked like it was an open porch it never did make any sense to me 2 totally different houses???
Wouldn't it be a trip if somebody were to walk by and shout "Hey, Bunker, I know you're in there!"? It does look way different today than it did in the early 70s, when the original scenery was shot, but one can definitely pick out the similarities.
This was just a fictional house, no filming actually took place in this house.. I'm not really sure if they wanted to make it seem like the Jefferson's where living in a seperate house across an alleyway or connected to the same structure..
There never was a porch in front of the house that was used for the opening intro.. Go figure, you think they would have tried to find a house with a porch for the opening intro to be more consistent with the set up where the actual filming took place.. Most Queens homes do not have a porch in front of the house so I guess it wasn't practical.. Thanks for watching!
I mentioned this to several people who are Queens natives,including a woman who lives across the street from me. On ALL IN THE FAMILY,Queens was "Bunkerville" and in the real world,it's "Trumpville" because that's where former President Donald Trump is from.
This was the house that was used for the opening intro only.. In the show the house defintely had a porch in the front, but clearly there is no porch in front of the house used for the opening intro.. Thanks for watching!
Could you do a video on that beautiful classical statue by the Union Turnpike subway station that was moved because of some politically correct reason?
@QueensNativeNYC Thank you. Some radicals forced the removal of that beautiful statue to some obscure location. Since childhood (I'm 65), I always associated it with Union Turnpike. It made the location stand out.
@QueensNativeNYC Not that far from Union Turnpike, is the location of the residence/site of Kitty Genovese murder in the 1960s around the Lefferts/ Austin intersection. Just a thought for another video. From what I remember, the murder was infamous because several neighbors heard the cries for help and did nothing.

Yes, I agree.. The true row houses are in the western section of Queens, near the border of Brooklyn in Ridgewood.. Of course many of the Brooklyn neighborhoods have row houses too.. Thanks for watching!
I used to call it a row house, but it IS a duplex. For that matter, a few blocks from where I live (in a town smaller by several degrees of magnitude than Queens), are quite a number of duplexes.
In Philly we call these “twins”. I thought the same for New York.
Duplexes are typically a rowhouse or a twin that is split into apartments on each of the floors.
Boy the way that Edith played songs that made the hit parade. Folks like us had it made. We could use Archie and Edith again. LOVING 🎵 Remembering 🎶you! 🎵 🏆 🎉
Great stuff. Funniest show of all time.
That would have been George Jefferson's house to the right of the duplex.
George and Louise lived next door to them as we have seen on the show, then they moved to a high rise apartment building in N.Y, and made their own show called THE JEFFERSONS.
Boy da way Glenn Milla played.
We could use a man like Herbert Hoover again...
@@warrenhoffman2006 Gee our old LaSalle ran great.
swongs dat made da hit parade.
@@hifijohn Guys like us we had it made. Dose were da days.
The tree! I guess that is what 50 years does to a young sapling.
Grown from that little bag of manure that Gloria used to carry around.
@@jimdep6542I don't remember seeing Gloria carry Rob Reiner around. 😂
@@duckduckgoismuchbetter She did, but they never showed it on air.
Anyway , remember " The Hippy Chick" from the Smothers Brothers ? She carried a bag of manure around for some strange reason.
@@jimdep6542 I guess I never knew about that. Also never watched the Smothers Brothers.
@@duckduckgoismuchbetter She was an unknown that did the dumb hippy chick comedy routine which made people laugh. Nowadays, dumb liberals would take her seriously. She sounded just like one 50 years ago. She even did a weather girl routine about "climate change".....which was pretty funny.
This was nice, thanks!
Glad you liked it.. Thanks for watching!
I watched all in the family with my mom, i was a little girl when it started airing in 1972, i was 6 yrs old and i wondered why the outside of the house didn't match the inside 🤗
Thanks for watching!
Luved that series,they hav it playing again in NewZealand
I wonder how they settled on this particular house to use as the Bunker house?? must be a story there!
Good question..
That tree was just a sapling in the closing credits.
Yes.. That combined with the new siding on the houses gives the block a very different from the 1970's.. Thanks for watching!
It looks like it’s leaning. I always noticed that the view of the house at the start of the show never matched when they showed the porch in the episodes.
That would be the house they zoomed in on in the beginning credits.
Yes.. Thanks for watching!
The little tree sure has grown up
Yes.. Thanks for watching!
It doesn't have the porch
Boy the way Glenn Miller played
Songs that made the hit parade
Archie Bunker Graduated from newtown High school in Elmhurst queens New York. Fun facts .
Yes that is true, alot of famous people went to Newtown High.. Thanks for watching!
The Bunker's had a porch, not a stoop.
Thank you
You're welcome!
All in the Family was filmed before a live audience, as it says at the beginning of every program, the scenes were studios built
for the program, this is not the house !!!!
The house you see here was only used for the opening intro.. Thanks for watching and sharing!
It looks like the house on Mary Tyler Moore to me.
I think it was called Hauser Ave in the show
I believe that the King of Queens was not filmed in Queens either.
This isn't really the house the Bunkers played in, the Bunkers played on a live stage in Hollywood California, at the end of the introduction, you can see that the door of the house doesn't match the door we see on the live stage! and there is no porch out there like we saw in the show, so believe it or not, this isn't the house they played in! they just made it look like that, i think because the Jeffersons lived just next door to them.
This was the house that was only used for the opening intro.. Thanks for watching and sharing!
@@QueensNativeNYC Yes you're right and i know that, i think there are people who believe this is the house they played in! hahaha i hope more people now know that isn't the house the Bunkers played in! ha, that house now in Queens NY is sure a beautiful house! thanks for your reply!😊
That’s a duplex. Is it the one on the left or the one on the right?
Well is it painted now or did they put aluminum siding over brick? As I recall, during the series the structure was brick.
Yes, the house definitely has new aluminum siding.. In the 70's it had some type of asphalt shingle that gave it a fake brick appearance.. Thanks for watching!
@@QueensNativeNYC I see. Thank you for answering.
Thank you for sharing! Love the show. Mike’ the meathead didn’t have to act very hard; he still a meathead today
Mike Stivic more than likely voted for Biden.
Mike was educated. He voted liberal then, like most educated voters vote liberal now.
@@dr.n. Keep telling yourself that as they embrace every dumb agenda.
It's amazing how people embrace "All in the Family", and don't even know what made it great. Obviously, the writing, the main four actors, all of the great supporting actors/characters, the willingness to take on hot-button topics but with a universal family dynamic that makes it timeless.
To me, the main genius of the show was making Archie Bunker -- a bigoted, chauvinistic, somewhat verbally abusive, mule-stubborn guy stuck in a much earlier time frame - into a lovable, and even likable, guy. Carroll O'Connor (who would have found Archie Bunker to be an objectionable meathead) gave a brilliant performance in becoming AB, and showing some actual tenderness underneath the bluster.
Along the way, thanks to Norman Lear and the writing staff, they also showed how Mike -- pigheaded and self-righteous in his own way -- could learn a thing or two from Archie.
But those who come on these threads and throw in shots at liberals and Biden show their extreme ignorance as Donald Trump - and those of his ilk - are the worst of Bunker with none of his redeeming qualities. None, N-O! So go on, and keep supporting a psycopathic insurrectionist who hates America and also hates you.
But yes, I guess we do agree that AiTF was a brilliant series.
Carroll O'Connor and Rob Reiner became so close during the filming of All in the Family because O'Connor was politically to the left of Reiner. He was the polar opposite of Archie Bunker poilitcally
Never knew it was a real house...thought it was a prop house...built on a set or back lot..
Thanks for watching!
The house was supposed to have a front porch. Also, AITFamily was played on set before a live audience, no?
Yes, this is just a fictional house that was used for the opening intro.. No filming was done from this house.. Thanks for watching and sharing!
"EDITH"!
Stifle it..
This is actually a two family house with no porch or front yard.
Thanks for watching!
If you look at the show's intro, that tree out front was skinny and only about 6 ft. tall and provided no shade back then. Look at it now!
Yes, the block looks so much more refreshing with all those trees grown up.. Thanks for watching!
Yes. The original footage was shot in the early '70s, more than 50 years ago at this point (10-31-23).
Glendale?! I never even knew it was this close to me. I’ve probably passed it many times.
I only found out about that house a few years ago.. And like you I probably passed by that house hundreds of times with my car, its a nice passage way to woodhaven blvd instead of dealing with the intersection of Metro and Woodhaven.. Thanks for watching and Sharing!
and all these years later, Archie is still right.
This is true..
@@QueensNativeNYC I'm so glad you agree.
To bad they took all in the family off the air really enjoyed the show.
Carroll O'Connor always called it satire, which it was. In an interview he said it was making fun of America back then. It is said that something like this couldn't be made nowadays. I disagree and I consider myself a liberal.
Thanks for watching and sharing!
That’s not a “row house” if you’re from Philly. That’s considered a Twin. Row houses in Philly can be 15 houses all together. That’s a “row.”
Thanks for sharing!
IN New York that would be called a semi-detached.
Yes, I'm from Philly and we definitely lived in a row home. A whole block of homes all together.
We would call this a duplex. But then again I am from rural Georgia. As a kid I liked All in the Family because I didn't know anybody who talked like that...ter-lets (toilets), spurled (spoiled) and versed (voices)...it was hilarious to me. And I also can say that Archie was the one who taught me a whole bunch of racial slurs I'd never heard in my life. I asked my Mama what a wop, mick, and a hebe were and she told me I couldn't watch that anymore, lol!
@@melaniew4354 Archie definitely had that old NYC accent..
So, which was it?
The left or the right unit?
The right.. American flag
It's not the house....Archie's house has a front porch... also Archie's was lower/ middle class.... there's no way he could afford that house
That's the house how it looks in the theme song
Back in the day many of the homes in Queens did look a little shabby.. But that definitely was the house that was used for the opening intro.. Most people in the area do take more pride in the way their homes and properties look today.
the interiors were all filmed on a sound stage in california like most interior scenes in tv shows and movies are donr i. studios
Thanks for watching and sharing!
I thought Archie Bunker's house address was 704 Houses. Street. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The fictional address was 704 Houser street.. Thanks for watching and sharing!
The tree sure has grown. At end of the show there is a still shot just before they start filming down the street showing all the houses and that tree looked like it had just been planted.
Thanks for watching and sharing!
Very interesting
It doesn't look like the house and is suppose to have a porch. A front lawn.
This was the house that was used for the opening intro, that's all.. None of the episodes were filmed at this location.. A porch is shown in front of the house on some of the episodes when the cast members step outside the door.. That was definitely a flaw as it does not match up with the house that was used for the opening intro..
That doesn't look like the house in show!
This house always had an enclosed porch but Archie’s house looked like it was an open porch it never did make any sense to me 2 totally different houses???
Why did and how did they pick that house to use??
Wouldn't it be a trip if somebody were to walk by and shout "Hey, Bunker, I know you're in there!"? It does look way different today than it did in the early 70s, when the original scenery was shot, but one can definitely pick out the similarities.
Yes it does look different.. The block overall appears more spiffy.. It had a slightly more rugged Queens look back in the 70's.. Thanks for watching!
THE CORRECT HOUSE NUMBER IS 89-70 COOPER AVE, 89-78 IS ABOUT 4 HOUEES AWAY
Edith I'm home and I'm sore as hell
Oooohh hellloooo Archie how was your day?
Stinko
Stifle
Must have been heavily remodeled, the window to the right of the door, lines up with the closet inside"
Uuhh sir...which house was archie house? The 1 in front of the gray car??!!
Yes.. The house with the American flag..
@@QueensNativeNYC sorry.... almost didn't see it...
@@ruthmiller1406 No problem.. Thanks for watching!
I'm a expert on All in the family.
No porch ?
Across From St John's Cemetery
Yes
Cooper Ave
I never realized they lived in a duplex...did the Jefferson's live in the other half?
This was just a fictional house, no filming actually took place in this house.. I'm not really sure if they wanted to make it seem like the Jefferson's where living in a seperate house across an alleyway or connected to the same structure..
Where is the front porch???
There never was a porch in front of the house that was used for the opening intro.. Go figure, you think they would have tried to find a house with a porch for the opening intro to be more consistent with the set up where the actual filming took place.. Most Queens homes do not have a porch in front of the house so I guess it wasn't practical.. Thanks for watching!
I mentioned this to several people who are Queens natives,including a woman who lives across the street from me. On ALL IN THE FAMILY,Queens was "Bunkerville" and in the real world,it's "Trumpville" because that's where former President Donald Trump is from.
ah cheeez. did ya have to mention the 🍊🤡??
What happened to the front porch!?
This was the house that was used for the opening intro only.. In the show the house defintely had a porch in the front, but clearly there is no porch in front of the house used for the opening intro.. Thanks for watching!
But in some sceans they came out on a porch,there's no porch at this one
mark love you
its REGO PARK QUEENS
Its in Glendale.. Rego Park is fairly close though.. Thanks for watching and sharing!
Represent.
the "Archie Bunker" house DIDN'T have a tree in front of it !! ... try again !!
Could you do a video on that beautiful classical statue by the Union Turnpike subway station that was moved because of some politically correct reason?
I do remember that statue in Kew Gardens.. Ok, Give me a few weeks and I will do some filming in that area.. Thanks for watching!
@QueensNativeNYC Thank you. Some radicals forced the removal of that beautiful statue to some obscure location. Since childhood (I'm 65), I always associated it with Union Turnpike. It made the location stand out.
@QueensNativeNYC Not that far from Union Turnpike, is the location of the residence/site of Kitty Genovese murder in the 1960s around the Lefferts/ Austin intersection. Just a thought for another video. From what I remember, the murder was infamous because several neighbors heard the cries for help and did nothing.
