That was a big deal then, especially in color. I remember growing up with black & white, and when I saw color I was awed. Yet, B&W is still 'clearer'. Long story short, I presently own a 24 inch TV! Who needs to go into hock for a television.
I’m only 26 years old, but even my parents who are in their mid 50’s, recall arguing with their siblings who was gonna watch tv on such a small screen. It was a big deal. When my dad and his brother managed to buy a black n white TV for their bedroom, they were ecstatic! And I even managed to lug around one of my great grandmothers floor based tv’s and luckily if it didn’t have wheels if I recall, it would’ve been one heavy piece of furniture to pack lol
And then my grandma who is 84, didn’t have a TV in her home til she was 14 and before that, listened to the radio or a record player. Then my other grandpa when he was young was too poor growing up for a radio or tv so he wasn’t introduced to it really until he was an adult.
Seriously - can you imagine the MAGA snowflake meltdown if there was an Archie aping the MAGA clown-show today??!! I mean, MTG already lost her mind over Larry David having an unflattering portrayal of MAGA idiocy. Imagine a weekly TV show making fun of these morons every week!!
“I never did mind the identification with Archie Bunker,” said O’Connor. “The press thought that I was trying to get away from that image and nothing could be further from the truth. It’s an image that I treasure. People say, ‘Hello, Archie’ to me on the street. That’s wonderful. That never bothered me.”
What I don’t get is Archie worked at the docks as a longshoreman I presume so he’s making good money. Why did he have to drive a cab at night? Is it because he had to support his daughter and that bum of a son-in-law?
How can they not have Lionel Jefferson's telling Archie to put a lid on it about interracial dating in the top 5? He was taking his niece dancing, and Archie saw the picture of them together and freaked out.
I can see why Archie called him Meathead as often as he did. Saying the blacks didn’t have the same opportunities as whites is further from the truth. My parents couldn’t afford private school for me and my brother, so we went to public schools just like they did. We chose to take advantage of it when others didn’t.
I often wonder why is it private...as many ppl attend the conventions...its out in the open...the ppl we elect obviously are not hiding...beside the fact that some act as if others are not free to have an opinion that differs from theirs...without it turning into a brawl...and being uninvited for the holidays...I dont understand the big secret 🤭🙄😔😉
Edith bunker is the only tv character to have an obituary printed in the press when she passed on the show. Archie did more for equal rights than many black folk. He came on tv once a week and showed America just how stupid it was to be a bigot and racist. And he made us laugh at the same time. Thank you Archie and Edith. We miss you deeply.
I'm curious to know if you know all black folks and everything said black folks did for equality..he may have done alot..but to say..more than most..is not also reaching its dangerous to categorize any group of ppl ..even when trying to be complementary...it just isn't fair...take care and continue to be kind😊
I thought it was great when Edith would tell Archie off. She would tell him off then catch herself like"oh my, did i say that?, but then she stood her ground..
My grandpa when he was in his mid-fifties met a woman that was 25 8 years younger than his daughter. He dated her and a couple of weeks later my mom asking what happened to your young girlfriend. He said I'm 55 she's 25 and she literally wore me out with her energy he said I'm 55 she's 25 and she literally wore me out with her energy. She wanted to go everywhere to dancing, movies, out to eat and everything. He said the go go go literally wore me out.
10:33 Mike has a lot of nerve insulting Archie for owning items! There is nothing wrong with material things, Mike. And poverty is because of a corrupt government nowadays, not the race. All races get crapped on these days. :(
CLASSIC SHOW 📺. That was the time like every day , every year , every decade always changing . RIP CARROL O’Connor the real archie bunker ,.. in the 90s was Ed Oneil different time but Al bundy was Classic character and married with children classic show
That girl sure looked older than 18. I'd guess 21 or 22. Still creepy of his brother to be with someone like that......I've seen it in person & trust me it doesn't work out.
The song, written by Charles Strouse and Lee Adams, expressed Archie Bunker's (Carroll O'Connor) longing for better times when people like him were in charge. The song's opening line, "guys like us, we had it made," suggests that nostalgia is about a present that feels it has lost something in an idealized past. The song was ironic because the series often made fun of nostalgia.
The topics of this show are still pertinent today. Offspring that don't move out. I have a friend who complains about government but won't vote. What hypocrisy. Archie lies. He said he voted. He did not. People don't do what they are supposed to then they want to take the benefits of those who did what they were supposed to; using Edith's vote. Partners influencing each other's votes.
Wish they'd come out with more things like this. We need laughs these days
"No! His uncle got it for 'im!" :D Edith, I love you
"Archibald" 😁
The way Mrs. J pronounced it though; Archie-BALD. 😂
Thanks For Sharing!
Way to go Edith! Now the argument is over!😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
It was about time.
This needed to include Irene Lorenzo telling Archie the one real thing she enjoyed about being Catholic was that Archie was a Protestant.
One of my all time favorite tv shows. ❤❤😅
OMG! Mike saying that people living large , they had 24 inch TV'S!!!
That was a big deal then, especially in color. I remember growing up with black & white, and when I saw color I was awed. Yet, B&W is still 'clearer'.
Long story short, I presently own a 24 inch TV! Who needs to go into hock for a television.
@@taracollins5597I'm 60 and I grew up with an RCA color TV in the living room. My folks had a B&W one in their bedroom though.
Then in the 1980s we bought *32 inch* color TVs which were about the size of this computer monitor I'm looking at.

Great show
The whole show, please.
Try Freevee. They've got all episodes there. 👍
Edith Bunker is the greatest television character. Ever. Invisible puppet master bless Edith Bunker.
Love this show I couldn't imagine it today?
Seriously - can you imagine the MAGA snowflake meltdown if there was an Archie aping the MAGA clown-show today??!! I mean, MTG already lost her mind over Larry David having an unflattering portrayal of MAGA idiocy. Imagine a weekly TV show making fun of these morons every week!!
I agree. The Leftist snowflakes would never tolerate such a great show.
Should have had Edith telling Archie to Stifle
A nice dose of abcdefu.
She does in one episode
'Try to keep (Archie) quiet, will ya?'
Poor Edith, asked to do the impossible.
Bye uncle Archie 😂
My dad used to take the phone off the hook when this show came on
That’s great my grandpa use to do that
“I never did mind the identification with Archie Bunker,” said O’Connor. “The press thought that I was trying to get away from that image and nothing could be further from the truth. It’s an image that I treasure. People say, ‘Hello, Archie’ to me on the street. That’s wonderful. That never bothered me.”
This is misleading. Carroll O'Connor openly admitted Archie was a bigot and not to be like him.
What I don’t get is Archie worked at the docks as a longshoreman I presume so he’s making good money. Why did he have to drive a cab at night? Is it because he had to support his daughter and that bum of a son-in-law?
In one episode he said he makes $5.50/hr.
@@mperson1890that like $37.75 and hour 2024
He was a foreman on a loading dock. So he wasn’t making good money. He had 4 men under him.
@@mperson1890Yeah,$5.50 a hour wasn’t good pay back then.
@@matthewbrice6202 shhhiddddd. Ur math off calculate 2024. That $33.75 and hours. That great money to us common folks.
How can they not have Lionel Jefferson's telling
Archie to put a lid on it about interracial dating in
the top 5? He was taking his niece dancing, and
Archie saw the picture of them together and
freaked out.
I remember that exchange. Lionel was polite, yet emphatic on what he was trying to get across to Archie. It definitely hit home.
I love this show.
Those toe spasms can be really awful, nearly as bad as bone spurs.
Tell me about it. I get them every day, including my heels.
Haha. Good one.
I can see why Archie called him Meathead as often as he did. Saying the blacks didn’t have the same opportunities as whites is further from the truth.

😢you don’t need to reregister, just vote once in awhile to stay in the system.
12:21 I love it when Edith puts Archie in check! Tell 'em Mrs. Bunker!!!
I love it when Edith put him in his place. I know he definitely respected her more.
Why aren’t we private about who we vote for anymore?
I often wonder why is it private...as many ppl attend the conventions...its out in the open...the ppl we elect obviously are not hiding...beside the fact that some act as if others are not free to have an opinion that differs from theirs...without it turning into a brawl...and being uninvited for the holidays...I dont understand the big secret 🤭🙄😔😉
Everytime Meathead tries to argue with Archie in Archies home, I always think of this at 11:00. Help them out and go to work!

Archie was the most immoral character on the show BY FAR
Bro Archie’s character is satire.
CLASSIC SHOW 📺. That was the time like every day , every year , every decade always changing . RIP CARROL O’Connor the real archie bunker ,.. in the 90s was Ed Oneil different time but Al bundy was Classic character and married with children classic show
😂😂😂❤
9:37 9:56--Jean's real voice is trying to come through.
😂😂😂😂😂
I don't blame Archie 1 bit...
Republican or...you're a fool... 8:10
the one with mike doesn't count.
That girl sure looked older than 18. I'd guess 21 or 22. Still creepy of his brother to be with someone like that......I've seen it in person & trust me it doesn't work out.
Get rid of the channel's beginning music.
Lol
Can't stand the beginning music and scene because it has nothing to do with the show.
The song, written by Charles Strouse and Lee Adams, expressed Archie Bunker's (Carroll O'Connor) longing for better times when people like him were in charge. The song's opening line, "guys like us, we had it made," suggests that nostalgia is about a present that feels it has lost something in an idealized past. The song was ironic because the series often made fun of nostalgia.
I am talking about this channel's theme music in the beginning.
Frightens me to think that there are still Republicans out there who are exactly like Archie Bunker. *shudder*
I’m sick of Archie’s yelling
So don’t watch it
RASPBERRY--PPBBTT!!
If you are sick of the yelling, stop watching the show
@@JasonRourhierBronx Cheer! (or in this case, Queens Cheer!)
@@echoman4202Exactly
Archie is wrong
Boooh awful clips here.
