They may have drove each other crazy and disagreed on everything but at the end of the day they were family. If anything all their bickering and driving each other up the wall made them much more like Father and Son than father in law and son in law lol.
I watched this episode for Thanksgiving Day this year. I smiled when I saw Archie hugged Mike. He may not have showed it, but I think deep down and on very rare occasions, he cared for Mike.
@@souadbouzid7808 That's what I had thought too, but I had binge watched a bunch of episodes recently. And there are some episodes of Archie Bunker's Place where Edith is still alive and we see her. I can't remember which season/episode it is when she's passed away.
They just don’t make television shows like this anymore! All in the family/ Archie Bunker’s Place. Carroll O’Connor!!! One of a kind ! My favourite Hollywood actor.
Absolutely. Today shows are so brainless and fake with no connection to reality of daily living. BS lecturing about problems that don’t exist. I haven’t had a TV in 12 years and won’t get one anytime soon
Such a GREAT show! Yeah, Everyone had their foibles, especially Archie, but down deep they were loveable human beings that we all could relate to. So much so that even after all these years, my eyes teared up at this reunion! I have to keep telling myself its only acting. RIP Carrol O'Connor and Jean Stapleton!
I admit, I preferred the pre-Stephanie series, but seeing Mike, Gloria, and Joey was great here, plus it was neat to see Joey a little older and...Clearly already wiser. :P
Thank GOD I WAS Raised By Da Great Carroll O' Connor & Jean Stapleton + Rob Reiner & Sally Struthers 2!! Bring Back Da GOOD Ol' Days Tho, & GOD Bless Da Late Great Mr. Norman Lear!!
I don't rememeber this episode. Then again, I stopped watching the show Regularly when Mike and Gloria left and it became Archie Bunker's Place. I think I remember one episode where Gloria said Mike left her and their son due to a Mid-Lfe Crisis.
@@robsemail why is that bad??? Look at what we put up with today! The older generation WWs I & II would not have bent over backwards nor stayed indifferent to what's passing now.
It's actually more common then you think,in bigger cities. I grew up in Cicero IL, our house looked huge on the outside but when you got inside,it was only 2 bedrooms.
@@superstarreviews9937 But the downstairs was so large. Also, whatever happened to the attic that Cousin Oscar slept (and died) in? After that, the only other place to sleep besides the two bedrooms was the living room sofa.
I was recently at a friend's house my buddy and his GF are renting and it only had 1 bathroom upstairs. Kind of a hassle. It's an old house in a University town and was just built that way for some reason.
And bedrooms were usually small in that area and time. The concept being they were only to sleep in. You only went up there at bedtime. No need for more than the space for a bed and nightstand. Even if you read in bed before dozing off, you brought the one book up with you rather than having a bookshelf in the bedroom.
All in the Family and Archie Bunker’s Place were long before my time-could anyone explain the gag that Mike does at the door? He does it a few times throughout the series and it goes right over my head.
Feel free to look up groucho and marx brothers. They were still on TV when this show was cast, but groucho passed on in 1977. Reiner didn't carry out this particular role so well, but it made sense to viewers at the time.
One thing I liked was that Meathead, he could have simply showed up. Instead he goes the extra mile, doing a great Groucho Marx impression, at least hoping it would get a cheap laugh out of Archie. Since Archie probably grew up around the time the Marx Brothers were big.
@@generalgk True, but that was probably the common ground he had with Archie. He likes the Marx Brothers, for all we know Archie might have met Groucho and Harpo.
Jean Stapleton was in 5 episodes of the first season of ABP. The first 2 episodes of the second season is when Archie deals with her passing. This Thanksgiving episode is a two parter from the first season of ABP.
@@patrickhawkins4677 and this 2 parter was the final time you saw all 4 cast members together at once (O'Connor, Stapleton, Reiner and Struthers). Edith was said to have died in between the 1st and 2nd seasons of ABP; Gloria you did see in the final season of ABP to promote her new series but you never saw Mike again.
@@alexisdiva9 Had ABP been renewed for Season 5, Mike was supposed to make a few appearances to eventually move onto the Gloria series to reconcile with Gloria.
You saying they had no love for each other? Then Archie would have kicked Mike out a long time ago, or forbid his daughters wedding to him. Or Mike would have left. But he did end up leaving Gloria though it never really explains why. Those two were always a bad match bc it takes more than love to make a relationship work.
There was some softening of the relationship between Archie and Mike during the last few years of AITF. There’s a wonderful episode shortly before the Stivics leave called Two’s a Crowd, where Archie and Mike get locked in the storeroom at the bar, and have a long talk. Mike has a greater understanding or Archie after learning how abusive Archie’s father was towards him. Mike was only in a few more episodes after that, and you can see there is more affection between the two - the episode where the Stivics leave New York, and the episode where the Bunkers visit them in California, for example.
I`m surprised that the left and the woke have not tried to get this show off the air being shown in reruns ... Archie is not PC for today... That`s what makes him awesome...he speaks his mind and never walked on egg shells for doing so.
It was great for just one time to see Arch happy to see Mike
“Meathead!”
And at the end of the episode, giving him real fatherly advice and telling him, if you need help, I'm here.
What a guy he is!!! 😊@@Redshirt434

That may be true, but i'm sure they argued or fought not long after just like before! 😄
I've never seen Archie that happy to see Mike
😂
@@aleksandard8884not until four.
When Mike takes his daughter and moves far away for a year, welcoming him back take on a tune of it's own.
Archie really loves mike ,
the joy of seeing his family is priceless .
Definitely
Umm we talking about the same Archie who's always calling his son in law meat head
They are ACTORS following a SCRIPT nummy
@@MajorAnthonyNelson true, but he did.. though that was in the script. Its a show after all.
@@kennywohl1061 yes, the same Archibald Bunker..
I watched this episode for Thanksgiving Day this year. I smiled when I saw Archie hugged Mike. He may not have showed it, but I think deep down and on very rare occasions, he cared for Mike.
And vice versa. Mike even said that he loved Archie in their final episode.
I think he did too.
I never knew that this episode existed, what a privilege it was to come across this. A true GREAT show.
It’s from Archie bunkers place called thanksgiving reunion
@@ronsadventures2007 I thought Edith’s character had died when Archie’s place started.

Yup that's right
Blame it on cancel culture and everyone having to be politically correct or else you are ostracized. 🙄
A show like that couldn't be made today without some group getting offended and demands the show be canceled.
@@germandimplez Your right and one of the biggest offenders is Rob Reiner. AKA The Meathead.
Greatest family in the history of television. There were difficult times but they all loved each other
the last episode the original 4 were all together. So bittersweet.

🥰 I love this homecoming clip! I cried when they moved away.
Those were the Days !!!
Archie always loved his baby girl Gloria
0:09 Sang in PERFECT harmony…
Archie hugs Meathead. We can probably count the times on one hand that happened.
I sure miss the shows of this era and this was my favorite.. I don't even bother to turn the TV on anymore, it's the least used thing in my house.
Nothing but garbage on now a days. Sure miss the days of good clean family TV
Thank GOD I WAS Raised By Da Great Carroll O' Connor & Jean Stapleton + Rob Reiner & Sally Struthers 2!! Bring Back Da GOOD Ol' Days Tho, & GOD Bless Da Late Great Mr. Norman Lear!!
I loved EVERY actor on this show. 🤩
Miss this show! Loved it!
I miss those fun shows. They were the best. I own the whole series..Rip..Carroll, Jean..and thank you Rip,Norman Lear(career)
Norman Lear is still alive
Norman Lear just celebrated his 100th birthday.
I mean his career, he isnt making anymore,he is retired..I miss him making them shows.
Norman Lear turned 101!

This clip was great, thank you for sharing it! I like Joey talking about Mike. 😂😂😂
Happy

Love this show

Such a classic show…..👍👍👍
Best show brings me back
This. Makes. Me. Happy.
Carroll O'Connor was the best! What an actor.
So good thank you
This actually made me cry 😢
Archie loved his family.
I don’t remember this one being on TV and I’m not alone with that .I wish you would have shown the whole thing !
I don't rememeber this episode. Then again, I stopped watching the show Regularly when Mike and Gloria left and it became Archie Bunker's Place. I think I remember one episode where Gloria said Mike left her and their son due to a Mid-Lfe Crisis.
That was the pilot for the spinoff series "Gloria."
Yeah, ridiculous
“My daddy was naked” 😂
Poor kids have to sit and listen to this chaos nerve raking 😮
Great show
What a nice scene seeing Archie and Mike hugging.
December 2023 Rest in peace Norman Lear.
It's amazing how Archie mellowed. He would have never have hugged Meathead earlier in their relationship
The streaker episode!!!, Archie goes bonkers !!!
Mike look different without his mustache!!!
Greatest damn television show ever made. #2 is the Honeymooners.
Reverse them, then add Seinfeld...
Heartwarming
TV Family or not....I Miss them all.
I started watching this show at the age of 13. That was 3 years ago.
I voided three times today. The first one was about seven fifteen.
Archie is one of my fictional heroes.
He is 16.
You are awesome, young man. Godspeed.
Same here
I love this show very much
This is the last time the cast got together. RIP Carroll, Jean, and Norman Lear.
Meathead without his Stache isn't meathead
He's like a veggie meathead.
It’s the meathead!!!…..🤣🤣🤣🤣
Back when people could still love each other
Beautiful Fantabulous
Every day that passes, it's more and more clear that Rob Reiner was not really acting. lol
I indeed he was and still is a meathead
❤❤❤❤
Love this
I think that Joey looks a lot like Archie.
The last time the cast is all together
❤ this
This is still All in the family. Archie Bunkers place was without Edith.
Awesome 😅
And I'm tearing up in 2023.
My dad was archie. I miss my dad very much
My dad was too, only without the sense of humor and without any real love for his family. Too christian. He’s still alive but we never speak.

Mike somehow reminds me kind of John Ritter in this episode
Good to see Archie happy to see the meat head for once!!!
Did this little girl stay with Arch after Edith died? What happened to her, Mike & Gloria?

Mike and Gloria are Marx Brothers fans. It’s explicitly shown in the series
@@generalgk True, but that was probably the common ground he had with Archie. He likes the Marx Brothers, for all we know Archie might have met Groucho and Harpo.
Spoiler .... Mike ends up leaving Gloria and his son for a younger girl and joined a hippie commune 🤦♂️
Love Rob Reiner
I wanna see the whole clip! Please!

"My daddy was naked".

@@lordbeerus5931 I thought he said something about "you a lawyer" but then that wouldn't have made sense. 🤔
Rob Reiner wore a hairpiece after season 1.
A few of those wigs were pretty bad but it looked fine in the second half
So Archie and Edith became adoptive parents.
I think Michael loss his job
Where the should have left it.
That was the least meatheadisest I have ever seen Michael .
I don't remember this one
If this is " Archie bunkers place " I thought edith was killed off when abp started???
