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Archie took refuge in his long-suffering wife, Edith, who tries her best to understand Archie's conservative ways and outdated beliefs.

    Rob Reiner pausing and swinging his head before he delivered his next line was just a delay tactic while he composed himself, instead of simply breaking out in laughter.

      Don't forget that each episode of this show was filmed before a live studio audience twice in the same day. Then for each camera shot the director could pick which one worked better. If an improvised line happened in one of the two recordings, the reaction shot could be taken from the other recording.

      Yep. Shows a good, honest, real man full of faults, and insecurities realistically learning how to love his fellow man as himself. He’s not a “bleeding heart” he’s problematic and prejudiced as ALL HELL but he LEARNS to treat people by content of character. Not through one experience of “I was wrong”. And sometimes he was entirely RIGHT with his pre judgement! But he learned that folks like the Jeffersons deserve the same consideration as him regardless of skin tone. BUT that sometimes people use the fact that coloreds were/are mistreated as a free pass for anything.
      Even with all that you have a GOOD MAN doing what GOOD MEN do! Work hard, love your family, support your country through good times and bad, be a pal to those willing to be a pal, and having an open mind and open heart but not so open it falls out!
      Truly a great character study as real today as it was then! More Archie Bunkers! Less people who see him just as his “racist” (more so ignorance that couldn’t be helped) self…

      They were talking about a scene where Kelso comes running to talk to Laurie, jumps over the back of the sofa and rams his leg into the big spool coffee table. He never broke character, but Debra stops and looks over as she's heading up the stairs. She was concerned that Ashton had hurt himself and waited until he said his next line to continue up the stairs. I think he said he had.

      I think you’re looking at it through rose colored glasses. That might be what it seemed like to you and me, but I can guarantee you that wasn’t everyone’s experience, perception or reality. Many of the shows from this time period dealt with social issues involving racism, poverty, women’s lib, homosexuality, etc.
      And there’s never been a time when “nobody was above anybody”. Social elitism and class wars have been a fixture of the human experience since the dawn of time.

      I haven't watched this show since I was a little kid so I never really understood the humor until now because I'm rewatching it. One thing I absolutely love about this show is the brilliant stupidity of Archie - how he mispronounced at least one word in every episode and especially that the beliefs that he held were SO arrogantly wrong, lol. Like how white people had to be careful giving CPR to black people so they didn't breathe in the "wrong" kind of air. And as a woman who has been in a relationship with a narcissist who was verbally abusive, every time I see Edith stand up to him, which isn't often, I get such satisfaction. In today's society, this would have been deemed as a very manipulative and verbally abusive marriage, the way Archie orders her around, makes her obey him, and doesn't let her have her own opinions - and constantly calls her names like "stupid" and "dingbat". It's so mindblowing watching this and knowing how drastically different our world is today. But I have to admit, I'm glad I'm watching it all the way thru now, at 46 years old. 😊

    One of the few British sitcoms that America took and flipped it and actually made 10 times better. Carroll O’Connor made the character of Archie Bunker a joy to watch.
