  • Archie (Carroll O'Connor) gets scolded by the doctor for his lack of understanding of Edith's (Jean Stapleton) poor health.
    From Season 9, Episode 25 'Too Good Edith': In the series last episode before the name change, Archie has given Edith the task of cooking all the food for his big Saint Patrick's Day bash at Archie's Place. In the process, Edith has been keeping a secret from Archie out of fear that it will ruin his big celebration. Edith has developed phlebitis and is barely able to stand or walk.

    About All In The Family:
    One of the most acclaimed comedy series of all time, All in the Family with Archie Bunker as the irascible, highly opinionated, working-class family man who viewed the world on his terms and his terms only. When not arguing with his liberal son-in-law, "Meathead," Archie took refuge in his long-suffering wife, Edith, who tries her best to understand Archie's conservative ways and outdated beliefs.

      That scene showed the acting range of Carroll O’Conner. Having been the one to find my wife passed away during a nap, I can tell you he got that scene right. It’s funny the things that can trigger you and the thoughts that go through your head.

    Carroll O’Conner was an actor’s actor. He was truly one of the finest actors of American stage and screen. He never held back from playing the flawed Everyman warts and all, but also with respect for Archies’s integrity, his hard work, his devotion to family.
    O’Connor played Archie with awareness and empathy of his being a product of his time, his upbringing, and his surroundings.
    He honored Archie’s capacity for inner growth, sometimes in spite of himself. In partnership with the writers, Mr. O’Connor’s subtle portrayal of that sea change was utterly natural.
    He was a master.

      I disagree. I thought that Archie Bunker's Place showed the evolution of Archie from who he was, a bombastic, ignorant, verbally abusive jerk, who was enabled by Edith, to someone who had to navigate life's complexities by himself, with people around him who didn't put up with those opinions. He had to raise a child, who was Jewish, whereas Edith had done all the childcare, and only in ABP did he have Stephie's Jewishness affect his life, by having to stand up against temple vandalism, and had to deal with the realities of a growing child, on his own. He had a black housekeeper who was not a servant, he had to deal with Murray, and with Veronica's alcoholism, and having employees with different life paths.

    This was such a wonderfully written show. I don't even have words to express how impactful All in the Family was to those of us growing up during this time. Norman Lear was genius bringing up difficult social and familial issues with pathos, humor, and characters that allowed us to face painful issues (and ourselves).

    • @nathaliedelage8335

      Yes, wonderfully written, but it was the incredible Carroll O’Connor and Jean Stapleton who embodied these characters perfectly. Nobody else could have done justice to these roles the way they did. Outstanding actors. The multiple layers and dimensions of these characters brought to life, could only be handled by such skilled professionals.

    What some people didn't understood was that Archie was crazy about Edith, and when she passed away his whole world came tumbling down, but he knew that he had to be there for Stephanie, and he was. Yes, Archie was a diamond in the rough, but his diamond showed through many times. Michael use to like to think that Archie wasn't intelligent, but Archie was smarter than people gave him credit for. He was also a devoted Daddy to Gloria, and at times I wish that Archie had back handed her for being disrespectful, and he loved his grandson Joey with all his heart, and the scene where he takes it upon himself to baptize Joey, because Michael was against it, and Gloria was following Michael, brought tears to my eyes, and down my cheeks. Archie was a product of his time, and he didn't have a very happy childhood as you get to know the character, so he hid behind a tough exterior, but he really wasn't a bad person. He also didn't take anything off of anyone too, and he was brutally honest, and some people didn't like that. I was raised by a man sorta like the Archie character and I called him Daddy, and behind that gruff, rough, tough exterior, was the sweetest, kindest, most gentlest man you'd ever hope to meet.

      From learning about my grandpa from my dad (he died when I was 2), he was an abusive man and my grandma was a saint. She raised 16 kids and he was a spoiled drunk. When she died, my dad remembers him sitting at the table with his head in his hands and crying. He didn't treat her or all my dad and his siblings with love or respect and he paid for it when he was all alone. He died a few years after she did. Never take for granted the loved ones in your life.

    What's interesting is, for the longest time, I thought this was the precursor to her death. I always assumed that the first episode of Archies Place is that episode wheres she's passed. (I had seen both these episodes when they were actually broadcast on TV. I was a little kid of course). About a year ago, I found all the episodes of Archie's Place on cable TV. Turns out, Edith actually is in the entire first season of Archies place. The episode you find out she died was the first show of season two of Archies place. So actually if you go by the timeline. she lives for another year or so after this.

      Besides, phlebitis is basically a blood clot in the leg which breaks loose and travels to the lungs causing an embolism which kills you.
