I think their distance is very symbolic of the empty spaces of those left behind: Norman Lear, Jean Stapleton, Carol O'Connor... When they were here "Those were the days"... (Who thought they'd ever end?) .... Reiner & Struthers look great.
Remember the Stivics, sadly, divorced after Mike got the job as a college professor in, I think, Santa Barbara.I guess they co-parented "Joey," who would be over 50 years old, today! Could have made an interesting Norman Lear spin-off?
It’s always nicer when 2 people reunite after many years, for them to hug and kiss each other. It would have been a better visual for the audience as well. Hard to believe that Rob and Sally are now in their mid 70’s. I remember them when they were in their mid 20’s. “Those were the days...”.
She has been doing a lot of projects, including the Tootsie play in Ogunquit Maine. I think she is trying not to catch the virus going around because it can bring a whole show's cast down if they all get sick.
I know someone who worked with Sally. He tells me besides being a great actor and performer, she's just an all-around great person, full of warmth and generosity. Thanks for bringing this heartwarming clip to us.
It would have been better if Rob and Sally had linked arms or at least embraced each other. But still, it was wonderful to see them together again after all these many, many, years.
The best show ever. Even back the it made me question my own values. Sally you were my love.Rob you remind me of my Dad and I when we had discussions on values in life.Warms my heart to think of the cast on the show.God bless all of you.
My favorite show ever! My parents watched it in the 70s every Saturday night and I watch this show almost every night! It’s as funny now as it was then! We love you, Rob, and Sally! RIP Norman, Carroll and Jean! Your legacy rolls on. We’ll see you in a better place! 🎉
Im ao glad to see them. Lear was tge best, and the 2 of them with O'Connor abd Jean was the best in sit comedy . The reruns thank goidness will always be with us.
All in the Family was the Beatles of sitcoms. It blew the medium wide-open. Ironically, Sally and Rob are also the last two standing, like Paul and Ringo
I grew up watching this show. There is no way they would get away with us today. That’s what I loved about. Norman Lear. He was an innovator and he pushed the boundaries. He really caused people to think. It’s a shame we don’t have anybody like him now.
They both look really good but wow Sally looks GREAT!!😮 Got cruelly mocked for her weight over the years but I think for friggin 76 yold she's looking & sounding pretty damn FAB!
Sometimes you don’t realize what a positive influence you can have on future generations by discussing and laughing at the things that make us uncomfortable whatever that may be now and in the future.
I just wish I could find episodes of Norman Lear’s late ‘70’s shocking comedy, “All That Glitters”. It lasted less than a year and was so ahead of its time.
it was a show I couldn’t be caught watching when I was in high school. Men were in subservient roles, house keeping, secretaries, cocktail waiters. Women were head of corporations and played in the NFL. I always looked forward to seeing the almost daily closeup of Gary Sandy’s cute butt.
QUESTION: Why is Sally Struthers standing wayyyyyyyyyyy over a the other end of the set from where Rob Reiner's standing? Very awkward to watch! I could see that Ms. Struthers felt very uncomfortable with this.
This was a poignant moment. I love it. Part of me wishes, for a surprise comedic effect, that they would've had a toilet flush from upstairs during the monologue like Archie was up there.
Sally was on a podcast and said Rob Reiner has not spoken to her in years. She was very disappointed and didn't know why. You can see on stage how distant he is towards her. Compared to the ease of the Cheers cast or even Ally Mcbeal.
I know that Michael and Gloria Stivic were a happy married couple on “All In The Family” during the early seasons of the show, but when they moved to California and got divorced, it really upset me! I did not expect that story line! Regardless, it’s great to see them together again!
Ya, to this day verry clunky storyline. All of it. Show at it's 'worst' still superior to majority of anything today & years prior. Even their consistently great chemistry was off/gone in those very late 70s awkward guest episodes. Just a disconnect.
I’d always wanted to see them reprise their roles in a comedy-drama reunion TV movie, maybe come together again in these later years of theirs on their grown kid, lives, left and right turns in life, Archie and Edith, marriage and divorce.. Agree about the clunky divorce storyline with the original show-of anybody, I’d have believed it was Mike who would’ve cheated on Gloria, blah blah. But that was something to see them standing on the pseudo-set of that hallowed-level-legendary show. And RIP to genius Mr. Lear. ❤ 🙏🏼 👍
Just magnificent sets, especial the Bunker House, for this one night Emmy presentation. I think those Hauser St , Queens houses are over $1 million, today?
thank you for mentioning that nobody else was, Rob Reiner looks fantastic for many years he looked awful because he had put so much weight on now he looks great and she does too after being really heavy for so many years, i wonder when she lost the weight? was it the South Park episodes that did it? i never thought i'd say that Sally Struthers looks good today.
RIP Norman Lear. 101 is a great age. But may I also credit Johnny Speight, the creator of Til Death Us Do Part, the series on which All in The Family was based on?
I think they were standing so far apart so the set could be featured. They do appear a bit wooden, but this seems to have been a last minute shoot. I don't think they had much prep time.
They need a continuation season starring these 2 with Joey and his new Family. We could get closure with Archie if he made it big before passing on and what the Stivics are doing in the 2020's and how they are handling the world these days. If written well, it could be a good show
AITF came along at precisely the right moment and time. The country was racked by dissension and discord during a time of significant upheaval. Through all of that AITF made it possible for a half hour a week for those differences to be dramatized under the guise of humor which had the effect of humanizing viewers and making it possible to accept our own insecurities.
@@Justin.Ullmann Rob Reiner had a chance to work with Sally and he acted as if that would be beneath him: ''During that time I was constantly being offered big money to take the easy way out and go back to television. One of the first offers was a guarantee of $2 million to do a series called `Mike and Gloria` with Sally Struthers. ''But, fortunately, Norman came through for me as he always has.'' That`s an understatement. Lear has provided partial financing for each of Reiner`s films, including the one he is preparing to shoot in England.
@@chriskay1449 That could be but only Sally would know if she was hurt or offended by his decision and it would have been $2 million for her as well. At this point, I'm just speculating but they seemed ill at ease with each other.
Telling that 'Mike' stood in front of Edith's chair while 'Gloria' stood in front of Archie's chair ( I wonder if she was trying to block the one termed 'Meathead' from sitting in the prized chair)!
