@Joe Doherty I just watched the original. I know some of British politics and I found it just as amusing as our "family" In fact when Archie bunker's place started up, it inspired the British creator to restart the show.
You cannot say one show is better than the other. They are reflections of their cultures. I can appreciate both shows for the ground that they both broke. Brits are going to like their version better because it was first and also they understand the cultural and political references. Also most Americans do know tha All In The Family was retooled from Til Death Us Do Part.
It played to different audiences for the Americans their version was perfect . My brother in law is American and they have a different view of the world . Archie is more American I think Alf is meaner
@@bearsagainstevil Not to mention that Archie started to mellow in the final season of "All In The Family" and then further on "Archie Bunker's Place."
@@cityhawk You are of course entitled to your opinion but if you look up 704 Hauser St. on Wikipedia, it is mentioned as a spin-off of all in the family. It was the same house, same producer, same set (It had been kept in storage and was reused). It dealt with similar social issues from a different vantage point. In the first episode Joey Stivic appeared briefly. Also, one of the lead characters was Archie's, Wife's, Cousin's, Maid's, Husband who had faked his death years ago and was living his life under an alias. LOL
mkl62 Archie wasn't a hardcore racist. He would be VERY anti-Obama, but in large part because of political disagreement. If, say, Clarence Thomas or Thomas Sowell (black conservatives) were president, Archie would still say politically incorrect things about them while trying to magnanimous (like the way he interacted with Lionel Jefferson), but he would like them.
Yes, Archie wasn't a hardcore racist but was very ignorant due to his poor education and lack of understanding of the outside world. But he began to mellow in the final season of "All In The Family" when Edith's niece, Stephanie, moved in and she was Jewish. And in "Archie Bunker's Place," he mellowed further but still showed a little ignorance but not much.
@eastenders25yrsfan For someone who is a fan of British telivision, you come off as an american teenager. Btw, it's not necicarly better, it's different cultures of humor. Most US remakes succeed while the majority of UK remakes of American shows only last a couple of seasons.

I'm American and I totally agree with you. I find TDUDP to be more sharp and quick witted overall.
All in the Family had 5 Spin Offs. The Jeffersons, Maude, Gloria, 704 Hauser Street and Archie Bunkers Place.
704 Hauser wasn’t a spin-off of All in the Family. Only the house was the same. That’s it.

Both are better.
Both are good shows better than we have today

MaryStewart YOU SILLY MOO!
How did Norman Lear get away with coppying a show that was already done? and passing it off as original. ...
All in the Family started in 1971 and Til Death Us Do Part ended in 1975.
@@JaredGriffiths2000 All In The Family began airing on TV in 1971 but the first two episodes were taped in 1970.
@@joerubi6249 Still doesn't change my point that Til Death us do Part was still going when All in the family started.

Till Death Do Us Part is the way better than al in the family.
All in the family was better.
Both was good. But till death us do part was way better! More realistic!
They are targeted at different audiences. Archie is nicer than Alf , he's more American
