I wish they’d saved the sets to *Webster* instead. I’m tired of crappy television shows about bigots being put on a pedestal at the expense of shows about the people they are prejudiced against.
That lyric is more proof that this show is an attack on normalcy. Every single Norman Lear show has this degenerate buckbreaker propaganda. He is the caretaker of the graveyard where the Slave Party buried every civil rights and social reform movement in this country. And his reign of TV terror helped Joe Biden into power to help keep the same ball rolling for neoliberal emasculation and imperialism. Even the *Good Times* co-creator Eric Monte rightly called him “a racist, a liar, a thief, and a hypocrite.”
What I always find amazing about the rights endorsement and awe of Archie Bunker. Is the fact that Carrol O'Connor and the shows create Norman Lear were very Liberal people. His Archie creation made fun of right-wing lunacy! Archie is a parody of ridiculous right-wing thought. Guess he was too subtle, because the right missed that. They are being made fun of, but instead they see Archie as a hero. Go figure!
@@gerryyaum The right didn't miss a thing. As we've learned over time, Archie Bunker, the character, turned out to be right. The left took this nation down a moral sewer.
@gerryyaum And Meathead was a parody of left wing idiots who overcompensated for their own prejudices so the show took shots at both ideologies. But maybe that went over your head. 😂
Carol O’Connor and Jean Stapleton were genius in their roles. Unmatchable delivery. I binge watch this show . So entertaining. I miss the shows of the 60’s and 70’s. This was very interesting to find out after all these years. ❤
Absolute WOW factor on the ORIGINAL memorabilia set and so many outstanding set details i didn’t know + will always be a classic American culture phenomenon. Bravo Glenn Beck for preserving a serious part of our memories in the ALL IN THE FAMILY 1970’s show 👊
As a kid I always looked noticed the American Flag decal Archie had on the window on his front door. It remined me of my grandfather who also was a WWII veteran. Seeing that flag at 5:50 reminds me of being a kid in the 70s. I would love to see this set in person one day.
I always notice the flag decal, also! Back in the 1970s we had one on our basement door. Also, I found one on EBay last year, but I didn’t purchase it.
Loved this show! The shots of NYC used to warm my heart in the credits. The acting was superb. I actually saw the chairs at the Smithsonian. Thank, Glen, for preserving part of our history!
The TV show where the producers were hoping the public would hate the old, working, white guy, but he ended up loved. The viewer's hate was directed toward the ignorant son-in-law.
My dad loved this show. Then again, he grew up in a time when there were more racists, bigots and prejudiced people so having a tv character saying the things he felt was normal, made him happy. I for one, never liked the show. Then again, I was a little kid when it was on.
@JoeR203 is not racist and I loved the show! I'm only 37, so the show was already in syndication when I watched it.i think your trying to make it into something it never was. Remember what the spin off was? The Jeffersons
No, they weren’t. They were a dark age for American history that should never be remembered by anyone. All evidence of its existence needs to be retroactively erased just like in *Men In Black.*
I’m 61 and my grandpa used to drink his coffee from the saucer also, good memories ❤ Unfortunately, Meathead is still a meathead and a Marxist. Thank you for persevering a part of iconic American history, we very much appreciate it.

@gerryyaum when you have no shame and no empathy for others that's how you can view Archie bunker as a hero. It's the only way. Their mentality is I have mine screw the rest of the world unless I approve of you. That's the only reason Trump has any followers. They're devoid of shame or empathy. They want him to lead them to a great white Christian nation where only white male Christian nationalists have a say in anything. That's what Archie wanted too if he could've gotten away with it which is why they view him as a hero. At the end of the day though Archie would still do what was right even if he didn't agree with it.
Last Man Standing was such a great show for the same reason: father a conservative and son-in-law a leftie. It showed how people can have differing points of view and still get along… and even come to love each other.
That's amazing that set is still in tact! I can't believe it's been so well maintained. It's good to know a little slice of Americana pastime is being preserved
I still binge on this show.. I go back every so often and take a couple months going through every episode I began loving this show when I was 3, because I loved their voices. I grew up on Long Island. My great great grandmother spoke like Edith and Archie (the “er” is pronounced like “oi” i.e terlet paper, vegetable erl, etc.) This show..the cast ..will remain in my heart forever, for so many reasons.
That’s really cool ! I don’t understand how it got to be like today . We all watched same shows , had same hero’s , clothes was same . As a kid we had same lunch boxes . Everyone got along . Be nice to see it like that again . United is nice!
Total cool! Couple things I noticed: The telephone is incorrect. It was black and an earlier style Bell model. Also, the iconic wall mounted coat rack next to the closet is missing. Out of frame so can't tell if elephant piece is on the end table next to the couch
The show was making fun of Archie Bunker's world view. People love Archie Bunker because he becomes less prejudice as the show goes on. Conservatives really need to work on their media literacy skills. The show was created by Norman Lear.
@adamn7516 nobody was being mocked except the characters both Archie and Mike. But of course you only see what you wanna see instead of seeing the show was about people with differences learning to co exist.
I'm 56 years old. I have been an All in the Family Fanatic since my childhood. Hands down. Simply the Greatest Sitcom in the History of Television. I could binge watch this program all day and night if I had the time. Awesome this Gentleman has the original set. There was absolutely nothing about this program that was not purely spectacular. The chemistry between the cast took Television to the next level. ❤❤❤❤❤ You Archie !!!!!
When I was growing up, the "All In The Family" family reminded me a LOT of my grandparents. My grandparents lived in Queens in a very similar neighborhood to the Bunkers neighborhood. My grandmother was a housewife with a screechy voice, who was kind of naive, and who lived to cook for and serve my grandfather. (The Edith did for Archie). My grandparents had the same accent as Archie and Edith saying "Foyst" instead of "First" and "Thoyd" instead of "Third", or "terlot" instead of "toilet". My grandfather had very similar attitudes and opinions to what Archie's were. He also always put on a hat when he walked out the door (the EXACT SAME hat that Archie always put on when HE walked out the door!), and he also had his favorite chair in his home. When my grandparent's daughter (my aunt) got married, she and her husband lived with my grandparents in their home for several years, just like Mike and Gloria did, until a few years later when they moved into their own place (as Mike and Gloria did). Every time I watched "All In The Family", I felt like I was visiting my grandparent's home in Queens, and I saw my grandparents in Archie and Edith, so I really LOVED the show. The hardest I ever laughed at any TV show was the moment when Mike and Gloria were getting married in their home and Edith yelled up the stairs "GLORIA! WHERE ARE YOU!", and Gloria called back "Hold it Mom! I'm waiting for Daddy!" and then you heard the toilet flush! And you see the look on all the faces of all the guests when they heard the toilet flush! I laughed so hard at that moment, I could barely breathe!
I think that is a Awesome All in the family set where both Glenn and Stu are sitting at it still brings back memories and Good Old Times of watching this Fantastic CBS Tv Program in The 70s
The episode in which Michael, Gloria and Joey leave for California was the most heat wrenching. I recall how painful it was to watch Edith trying to keep it together. It was absolutely REAL. Although Jean Stapleton described her frustrations in playing Edith Bunker …. the audience loved her to bits. We were All In Their Family and we were better off for it. Thank You Norman Lear. R.I.P. 📺🎬❤️🏆
It took me 30 years to learn the line "gee, that old LaSalle ran great!" From the song. That line baffled me for years! Glenn needs to get the Merv Griffin set next!
That line became distasteful and offensive after the drag queen Beverly LaSalle was murdered in a hate crime that never would’ve happened if they had taken a different way home than the one meathead suggested. It’s his fault he died. It’s also the meathead’s fault that a Jewish politician was killed in a car bomb because all the time he spent gaslighting the head of the Hebrew Defense League with that “you’re no better” garbage, more proof that atheism is just anti-Semitism extrapolated onto every other religion to give it unearned moral authority and intellectual legitimacy, was time they could have spent diffusing the car bomb. Norman Lear was a hack. He was not funny. I have never heard him say anything remotely amusing in interviews or at BoomerCons. His biography is barely readable, and I only bought it to find out what he was thinking when he sold his studio to Coca-Cola. None of his shows even qualify for the test of time, and it took until the end of the 90s to undo the damage he did to the production values of television.

I was just a kid when this show was running, actually it was almost over I was born in 76 but I watched the reruns all the time and loved them! I've actually been going back and re watching them recently and they definitely hold up, Carroll and Jean in my opinion are two of the finest TV actors ever! It's funny how the things they talked about back in the 70's are still the same things we argue today!
There were soooooo many great shows in the 70's that I watched when I was little. All In The Family, Welcome Back Kotter, One Day At A Time, The Jefferson's, Three's Company, Taxi, Good Times, What's Happening, Sanford and Son, Barney Miller, etc.... the list goes on!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED watching this show and the Carol Burnett show was right after it!!!! We all secretly compared my Grandfather to Archie 🤣. Great times… Great Memories!!!
He forgot that Norman Lear removed the “All in the Family” set from storage in 1994 to create the short lived spinoff, “704 Hauser”. Same house. Different furniture. New family living there.
@@martyrobinson4474 That’s true. My theory is that the Cumberbatch family remodeled the kitchen sometime after they bought the house from Archie Bunker.
You must place Norman Lear in the top 5 most influential Americans in history. RIP, sir, and, thanks for unbelievable entertainment. Ditto, Glenn and Stu.
I was a kid when "All in the Family" was aired. The show took me from elementary school to college. It was one of my favorite shows then and now. Like "I love Lucy", it was the stuff of my childhood. Beyond classic. And yes the meathead, Rob Reiner is still a Marxist. RIP Jean Stapleton and Carol O'Connor. Thanks for the memories - those were the days!
Something is not 100% about that set. That window behind the dining room table wasn't there. It was farther to the left and set back. Remember there was a wall with the cellar door which faced the kitchen.
Carroll O'Connor goes on to say on his character: "Archie's dilemma is coping with a world that is changing in front of him. He doesn't know what to do, except to lose his temper, mouth his poisons, look elsewhere to fix the blame for his own discomfort. He isn't a totally evil man. He's shrewd. But he won't get to the root of his problem, because the root of his problem is himself, and he doesn't know it. That is the dilemma of Archie Bunker."
@@BenjaminKorth-mf5ec Yes George could have been considered a racist but his character wasn't doing it out of ignorance or narcissism so much as retaliation for the oppression his character went thru. Remember this was the early 70's. George would have been growing up quite oppressed with segregated schools, water fountains, etc. He had the right to feel the way he did. But despite all that he worked his way into being a wealthy self made man Archie was just a typical ignorant bigot who grew up believing whites were superior and supported that oppression. He was also a narcissist which made it worse because he was closed minded.
@@adamn7516 Lear portrayed achie as a republican when the democrats weren't any different. That was a political hit on Republicans. The KKK were part of th democrat party, remember. So what's the black reason nowadays. Johnson gave them tax payers money and the women couldn't collect if the man lived with the family, it ruined them. Today's no different the democrats are still deceiving them. I watched the show too as a youngster and we enjoyed it and we weren't BIGGOTED RACIST or NARCISSISTS and still not.
@@adamn7516 An George didn't want to do the Jeffersons for the same reason. He had a very hard time dealing with the idea of being racist. He was a stand up man.
Grew up watching this show as a kid in the 70s. Didn’t resonate as much with me for the politics part till I got older. Mostly just loved Edith and her zaniness! Forward to 2023/24 watching the reruns on MeTv at age 59, I had to laugh at the episode when Marxist Meathead loses out on getting a job to someone who is black because he is white. 50 years later what’s changed? At least we talked about it back then! People called each other names and brought things up around the table and verbally argued. It was out in the open and we were better for that. Today “sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me” will get land you in jail because you hurt someone’s feelings. People half a century later still crying that life is unfair. Blah blah blah. Another difference is that back then even someone like Meathead could quote parts of the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights and was overall still pro America. Had a very different idea of what our country should be but still wanted to be an American. So sadly different today. 😢
You've entirely missed the point of not just that episode, but of the whole series. But that's to be expected from the stupid people who want to be like Archie Bunker.
The layout is slightly different here. The house went back further beyond where the dining room table was to permit access to the basement door and steps, which were below the steps leading upstairs. Perhaps the assembly had to me modified to fit the set into its new location. Still, a fine recreation.
“Those were the days”
He’s still a meathead
Even in reruns days you tried to sing along with the show lol I think we all did that😂😂😂😂
"Girls were girls and men were men."🎶
I am 77 and we watched this show every week. My Dad would laugh louder and longer than any time I can remember. I now understand.
He was conditioned to by that stupid laugh track.
@Attmay why is your negative behind even here? Got nothing productive to do? Smh
Sounds like you get to enjoy those memories twice as nice through then and now when your heart and mind hit the re run button.
What an American Treasure!
So happy to see the set in good hands. ♡
I wish they’d saved the sets to *Webster* instead. I’m tired of crappy television shows about bigots being put on a pedestal at the expense of shows about the people they are prejudiced against.
You have obviously missed the point troll
@@Attmay Uh, the spinoff show from this one was The Jeffersons. Can’t get much more racist than that🫵🏽🤣
Girls were girls and men were men ❤
And, 'We could use a Man like Herbert Hoover again'
Not anymore!
That lyric is more proof that this show is an attack on normalcy. Every single Norman Lear show has this degenerate buckbreaker propaganda. He is the caretaker of the graveyard where the Slave Party buried every civil rights and social reform movement in this country. And his reign of TV terror helped Joe Biden into power to help keep the same ball rolling for neoliberal emasculation and imperialism. Even the *Good Times* co-creator Eric Monte rightly called him “a racist, a liar, a thief, and a hypocrite.”
And it’s partly Norman Lear’s fault which is why his output is unwatchable to the point of being openly homophobic.
@@Attmay How is showing a married, straight couple "homophobic"?
I want to cry. How sweet of Glenn to save this wonderful piece of history.

Funny how in real life Rob Reiner (Meathead) turned out to be an extreme Left Wing Liberal or Marxist ! I watched this show every week!!
@@debbiecaldwell489exactly
Michael Stivik was Meat Head's show name but I could easily have misspelled it.
it's hard to imagine the stupidity of Reiner
Meathead is on the Epstein flight logs !
Especially today we could sure as hell use a majority of Archies and Ediths
We need more George Jeffersons.
@Attmay who was also a bigot like Archie so see how stupid you sound?
Thank you Glenn for that amazing walk down memory lane ❤
Those definitely were the days
🥹🥹🥹🥹
No, they weren’t. They were a dark age for American history that should never be remembered by anyone. All evidence of its existence needs to be retroactively erased just like in *Men In Black.*
So glad to see this set still exists! It's a true icon in American television.
Oh the way Glenn Miller played,songs that made the hit parade,guys like us we had it made,those were the days.
Gimme a break,
I sure deserve it!

"All In the Family" was the first show to feature the sound effect of a toilet flushing before Archie would descend from the stairs.
Such a great show back when people had senses of humor. Still watch to this day.

Lol.
My mom = Edith.
My dad = Archie.
My sister = Gloria. And, no surprise here, my 'EX' brother-in-law was Meathead (same haircut!) Lol.
Happy for you that he's the EX BIL!

I had no idea what Stu looked like, I was in HS in 74' and had an Archie for president t-shirt, I was such a radical.
The greatest damn television show ever.
I'm only 37, and I still watch episodes to this day. The grandfather I never had, I need to sit in that chair once Glenn I will work or pay
Respect, lol...very iconic.
Dear Lord! The memories! My heart is gushing over to see this again! I wonder what happened to Sally.
Awesome Glenn n Stu thanks for sharing this beautiful gem!!✌️🇺🇲
Oh man that would be awesome to walk amongst that set!!! I feel like it is a second home!!
Happy New Year
Thanks Glenn for saving Americana
Absolutely loved Archie then and still do to this day. He probably helped shape some of the opinions I still have today.
Sad for you. You didn't even realize you were being mocked by Carol who was a liberal.
He was a bigot.
The show was making fun of Archie Bunker's world view.
People love Archie Bunker because he becomes less prejudice as the show goes on.

Thanks for this. Our whole family used watch this every week.
Still watch the old reruns and love them

I was just a kid when this show was running, actually it was almost over I was born in 76 but I watched the reruns all the time and loved them! I've actually been going back and re watching them recently and they definitely hold up, Carroll and Jean in my opinion are two of the finest TV actors ever! It's funny how the things they talked about back in the 70's are still the same things we argue today!
This was such a joy to watch. I am amazed how well these have been preserved. I would so love to visit that set!
Oh my gosh sooooo glad this is preserved
There were soooooo many great shows in the 70's that I watched when I was little. All In The Family, Welcome Back Kotter, One Day At A Time, The Jefferson's, Three's Company, Taxi, Good Times, What's Happening, Sanford and Son, Barney Miller, etc.... the list goes on!
The chair Archie sat at is at the Smithsonian Institution
I've seen it there
Poor Eidit.... She really put up with the stuff like a rock☝️😀💜🇺🇲👍🤗
My husband and I just watched all of this show. I couldn't believe we are having these very same discussions ❤
this brought back so many memories of the show for me
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED watching this show and the Carol Burnett show was right after it!!!! We all secretly compared my Grandfather to Archie 🤣. Great times… Great Memories!!!
All in the Family is my all time favorite show.
Way cool 😎 glen! Happy you own this set! Great job!
He forgot that Norman Lear removed the “All in the Family” set from storage in 1994 to create the short lived spinoff, “704 Hauser”. Same house. Different furniture. New family living there.
I was thinking the same thing. I was surprised that "704 Hauser" wasn't mentioned.
totally different kitchen on that show, though
@@martyrobinson4474 That’s true. My theory is that the Cumberbatch family remodeled the kitchen sometime after they bought the house from Archie Bunker.
@@RayChiTownto be fair who remembers that show? Didn't last but a minute.
You must place Norman Lear in the top 5 most influential Americans in history. RIP, sir, and, thanks for unbelievable entertainment. Ditto, Glenn and Stu.
Thank you, Glenn. Thank you for preserving such an important part of our television history.
What’s so important about a fucking easy chair?
God Bless Archie Bunker 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 of the USA! 🙏
The phone is not the original also , the original phone was a black dumbbell from the 1950’s
I was a kid when "All in the Family" was aired. The show took me from elementary school to college. It was one of my favorite shows then and now. Like "I love Lucy", it was the stuff of my childhood. Beyond classic. And yes the meathead, Rob Reiner is still a Marxist. RIP Jean Stapleton and Carol O'Connor. Thanks for the memories - those were the days!
Everybody Loves Rayond, Ray Romano said the kitchen cabinets were used for Maries kitchen on his show.
I grew up this show Archie reminds me of my grandpa I miss him so much I absolutely love sarcasm arch was the king of that
As a kid I had a t shirt with Archie Bunker for president!
"Stifle yourself Edith" Great show.
Yea nothing like treating your wife like a slave to do your bidding. 🙄
@@adamn7516 And there's always that one...bet you think 'MAPS' are fine though.
I grew up watching this. I'm just amazed- this is so cool....
Amazing preservation! Love the history of the chair.
Something is not 100% about that set. That window behind the dining room table wasn't there. It was farther to the left and set back. Remember there was a wall with the cellar door which faced the kitchen.
Carroll O'Connor goes on to say on his character:
"Archie's dilemma is coping with a world that is changing in front of him. He doesn't know what to do, except to lose his temper, mouth his poisons, look elsewhere to fix the blame for his own discomfort. He isn't a totally evil man. He's shrewd. But he won't get to the root of his problem, because the root of his problem is himself, and he doesn't know it. That is the dilemma of Archie Bunker."
BTW Carol refused for a while not to do this character! He was the furthest thing from a racist!
True!❤ And in it he did such a lovely job of showing the ignorance of racism! Love it!
If Archie was racist so was George or must we forget.
@@BenjaminKorth-mf5ec
Yes George could have been considered a racist but his character wasn't doing it out of ignorance or narcissism so much as retaliation for the oppression his character went thru. Remember this was the early 70's. George would have been growing up quite oppressed with segregated schools, water fountains, etc. He had the right to feel the way he did. But despite all that he worked his way into being a wealthy self made man
Archie was just a typical ignorant bigot who grew up believing whites were superior and supported that oppression. He was also a narcissist which made it worse because he was closed minded.
@@adamn7516 Lear portrayed achie as a republican when the democrats weren't any different. That was a political hit on Republicans. The KKK were part of th democrat party, remember. So what's the black reason nowadays. Johnson gave them tax payers money and the women couldn't collect if the man lived with the family, it ruined them. Today's no different the democrats are still deceiving them. I watched the show too as a youngster and we enjoyed it and we weren't BIGGOTED RACIST or NARCISSISTS and still not.
@@adamn7516 An George didn't want to do the Jeffersons for the same reason. He had a very hard time dealing with the idea of being racist. He was a stand up man.
Great walk down memory lane!!! Thanks
A little trivia...Carroll O'Connor co-wrote the ending song for 'All in the Family'. Check the credits.
By far - my favorite show of all time. Rest peacefully Jean and Carol.
Thank you, Glenn! My daughter and I went to the Smithsonians in 2010. She was mesmerized by Fonzie's jacket. I was excited to see Archie's chair.
Another show we only put up with to get the spinoffs.
I love that show. Glenn this is incredible ❤
Amazing! Great to see it survived.
Grew up watching this show as a kid in the 70s. Didn’t resonate as much with me for the politics part till I got older. Mostly just loved Edith and her zaniness! Forward to 2023/24 watching the reruns on MeTv at age 59, I had to laugh at the episode when Marxist Meathead loses out on getting a job to someone who is black because he is white. 50 years later what’s changed? At least we talked about it back then! People called each other names and brought things up around the table and verbally argued. It was out in the open and we were better for that. Today “sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me” will get land you in jail because you hurt someone’s feelings. People half a century later still crying that life is unfair. Blah blah blah. Another difference is that back then even someone like Meathead could quote parts of the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights and was overall still pro America. Had a very different idea of what our country should be but still wanted to be an American. So sadly different today. 😢
You've entirely missed the point of not just that episode, but of the whole series. But that's to be expected from the stupid people who want to be like Archie Bunker.
The layout is slightly different here. The house went back further beyond where the dining room table was to permit access to the basement door and steps, which were below the steps leading upstairs. Perhaps the assembly had to me modified to fit the set into its new location. Still, a fine recreation.
Thank you! I was getting ready to post the same comment.
Best damn TV show ever.
This is incredible.
I cant believe you have the actual set!!!
So freaking cool!!!
