    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Archie took refuge in his long-suffering wife, Edith, who tries her best to understand Archie's conservative ways and outdated beliefs.

  • @c.rutherford
    @c.rutherford 10 місяців тому +30

    Fun facts: Sherman Hemsley was Norman Lear's original pick for George Jefferson to be on the show. But he had other acting obligations. So they invented "Uncle" Henry Jefferson as basically a stand-in until Sherman could start working. It took a lot longer than expected.
    This show "Henry's Farewell" is aptly named. After he walked out the door in this episode, he was never seen again on either All in the Family or The Jeffersons. Or anywhere else.

      Louise had Henry go to dinner at the Bunkers cause Archie wouldn't go to their house when invited. He had tickets to Mets game that he got from work and told Edith to tell them she sprained her ankle and they couldn't make it. Louise said well bring dinner to your house. Archie only did it cause Edith asked him. She said she never asked fir nothing and said please do it for her. Archie gave tickets to Mike and Gloria. This was when Mc nabb sold the house to Jefferson s. He had the petition on table between chairs which George , Henry read. They got to talking about God and that was it. Edith jumped up a ran to kitchen which Louise asked why she lied. Then she came clean and admitted this wasn't her husband George. Archie then goes on about how he had plans and was insulted by the slight. Finally he says we'll where is he. Louise. He is at Shea Stadium, he had tickets to the Mets game. The look on Archie face was classic.

      Mel Stewart was part of the cast of ROLL OUT, a sitcom set in WWII France, 1973-74. Later he was in the cast of the BEWITCHED spinoff, TABITHA. He also appeared as Isaac's uncle on LOVE BOAT, w/ Isabel Sanford as Isaac's aunt.
      It's funny that he was cast as George's younger brother, as Stewart was more than 7 years older than Hemsley.

      I noticed that too. I just watched another episode where Mike got the job offer in California and they met up again. He seemed to like Carrol under the banter or at least enjoy going at it with him. Its too bad we have so few scenes where they met.
      It would have been neat if Archie & Edith came to see the Jeffersons on their show but to my knowledge there was only one time, when just Edith came by to see their new apartment.

    Sherman Hemsley said that when Isabel Sanford met him, she said he was "all neck." Seeing how thin he was back then (135 lbs. at the time), I can see what she meant. He said that when he was waiting for his cue in this first appearance, he was standing on the other side of that door terrified, worried about forgetting his lines and feeling like he wanted to run away, but he just focused on the job and got through it. It's fascinating how many people in the spotlight suffer from anxiety.

    You know, in a way, Archie helped get George into the house to do the toasting, since George said he didn't want to come inside. But Archie got him inside so that he could toast his brother. That's how I look at it, anyway 😳 I always believed that Archie's a good guy under all that bluster.

    I loved the episode of The Jeffersons when George attends a KKK meeting, thinking that it's a meeting about dealing with neighborhood crime. He's all enthusiastic and keeps saying how much he believes in their cause until they try to throw him out and he finds out why! 😆 But then ironically, the top guy starts having a heart attack and there's only one man in the room who knows CPR. George Jefferson!

    All In the Family encapsulated the changes taking place in society. Some (not all) African Americans were finally succeeding and moving up the economic ladder (beyond their White contemporaries). The Bunker family was perpetually poor/lower middle class and were desperately trying to hold onto their piece of the American pie while the Jefferson got their piece and a little bit more. The Bunker home never changed during the entire series (no updates/new furniture).
    Archie struggled with the notion that the economy was leaving him behind and there was no real retirement for him or Edith. I can understand why the Bunkers of the time were bitter and confused.

    Archie and George, it is quite obvious that the movie "Godzilla vs King Kong" is loosely based on this scene.

    Before answering a door of Archie Bunker, George Jefferson did not knock it instead.
