Archie's facial expressions were priceless! Thank God for RU-vid and re-runs, because no way in hell today's hyper PC society would ever allow All in the Family to be made. Best. TV. Sitcom. Ever.
Along with 'Married with children' and probably half a dozen other shows. Yet ironically, a show like 'Modern Family' wouldn't have seen the light of day in the 60's or 70's.
All In the Family was created by progressives to hold a mirror up to dated ideals, Archie is funny, but he is also a fool and an idiot. This show helped move society forward not backward. I can’t believe anyone could think it was a celebration of Archie.
The reason he gets so outspoken today, is because both Trump and Archie are older guys from Queens - that's what's triggering him again, like when he was younger
"Ediths Problem" is one of my all-time favorites too. The writing and actiing, as usual were top notch!!! There were so many great episodes like "Archie Gives Blood" where Archie, Mike and Lionel discuss "black blood" vs "white Blood" and transfusions. THOSE WERE THE DAYS!!! Boy do I miss the 70s (TV and music).
To go back to the time when all we had to fear was cultural pollution and VD. A time when if a man wanted to engage in physical activity he wore a jock. No exceptions.
You picked some great All in the Family scenes. While I was watching this I was trying to decide what my top favorites scenes are but it is so hard to choose, there are so many great scenes in All in the Family. What I do know is the episode "Edith's Problem" is hysterical.
Either you misunderstood the scene or you are unfamiliar with the characters. Lionel was saying what he believed Archie to be thinking and was proven correct when Archie agreed. He knew Archie was already a racist and frequently taunted him in this way . . . without Archie being aware that he was being taunted.
Can you imagine what Archie would have to say about parents allowing their "transgendered" children to change their gender before they even reach their teens?
After watching the first part I immediately came here to see if anyone had commented on The Aubery incident/murder and I see your comment. Very sad Indeed. Poor dude was just jogging and he was chased down and shot to death. Murdered.
My all time favorites episodes and scenes were at the table when Edith had the change, when Edith wore Gloria's wig, and when Sammy Davis came to visit Bunker's.
My favourite scene is when Louise tells Edith that her two guests are 'swingers.' The expression on Edith's face is priceless. Another great scene is Archie, drunk and trapped in the basement thinking he's met God, and he's black.
I'm a Big C Conservative Canadian, but I agree that the USA needs to have stricter gun laws. Here in Canada we enjoy the right to own guns, but you first have to pass a gun safety course as well as a criminal background check.
Such a funny episode. What about some 88 year old women who end up wishing they could bear arms in their own home sometimes so they could finally get some peace and quiet alone however they have no disposable income anymore?
If they had banned guns back then, think of all the lives that could have been saved. And the possibility of school shootings would never have entered our minds .
True! It definitely was one of the greatest, funniest program ever! All the actors plus the funny lines and of course the topics made the show! And Archie's grammatical and misuse of words and ideas mistakes were hysterical! Edith's naivety and the things she said we're also hysterical. Gloria was an excellent actress and definitely a fantastic comedian. Mike the Meathead was terrific too!❤😂🎉😅😊
I echo what mike s says. after a tiring day with the grandchildren n kitchen sink n cooking etc I had to look up this once fav sitcom. thnks so much 4 u tube
I can remember when i was in Grade-school, we were outside in the playground, it must have been 4th grade or so - we'd be chanting: "Nixon Nixon He's our man - McGovern belongs in the gargbage can!" Why were we doing that at that age? Makes no sense upon recollection.
And I can't say that I, I can't, I can't, I can't go on with this that's one thing I can't DO, I DON'T BELIEVE A WORD I'M SAYING- THIS AIN'T NATURAL!!!
Boon Boon - If liberals didn't exist, you would find something else to hate. That's just the way it is for hate-filled people. If there was nobody to hate, your kind would commit suicide.
@@boonboon5448 lol, that's what I thought too, as I read your first cry for attention. Anyone who tells (possibly) one billion people...''I hate liberalism''...is wanting a fight. In real life, bottom is symbolic, for you.
