The irony here is that Carroll O'Connor (played Archie) was as opposite of Archie Bunker as can be imagined. He took the role because of how important he felt it was to show how ridiculous those views are and chose to use satire as his tool

You have no clue why this show was like this, NOTICE, Norman Lear and the directors had Mr. Jefferson, a known black "racist" so to speak, what they were trying to do, at a time schools were integrating, and many fights in schools were going on, is showing why each "clan" that were used to having separate schools and fearing each other, (for no reason in most cases) could come together, even with their PRE TAUGHT BIASES against each other. Notice, Archie Assoc. with blacks, Latinos etc. but thought his "tribe" were better, as did Jefferson, but the youth had different ideas, so the show was saying, you moms, dads etc. are not racist (real racist will not hang out with other people) they are just living in their TAUGHT REALITIES, and they are trying naturally to pass them on to us, but we are going to break the cycle. Its not racist, it was fear, The Japanese were not racist, they were taught the rest of the world wanted to wipe them out. So, through laughter, they could show the absurdity of these taught ideas, that came mostly from FEAR................NOT RACISM. If Archie was meant to be seen as a racist, he never allows a black person in his house. When he said Watermelon rinds will be flying out the window, he FEEARED Blacks moving in would lower his houses value, its stupid, but that is what he was taught. So, it was fear. Why the language, because the show was being honest, not like PRETEND SHOWS TODAY, I was called a cracker, so what? We would fight, shake hands and move on, people dint pull knives, we usually became best friends after a fight. To put a racist show on was no the goal. To they and show how people of all colors could come together and overcome out "soft bigotry" was the goal.

@TonyM1961 7 месяцев назад

@@MrRondonmon And YOU are ASSUMING that I am unaware of this fact. I wasn't addressing the show as a whole, but only Mr O'Connor and his motivation for taking a role that he would otherwise be loathe to take on due to his personal feelings on the matter. You are doing both of us a disservice by making assumptions. Me by trying to read more into my statement than was actually said and yourself by jumping to conclusions that are not evident in my statement. I have been aware of this aspect of the show since it was first aired. It's the primary reason why the show was so popular. It broke down stereotypes and showed how unintentionally cruel some of these behaviors actually are. However, the show didn't JUST deal with racism. It dealt with sexism, drugs and even going so far as to deal with rape (as well as how the victims are treated) at a time when that was still a mostly taboo subject, especially in a prime time show where children could be watching. They dealt with some VERY difficult subjects yet managed to do so in a manner sensitive to the true (not TV made up stories) victims of crime, drugs, racism, etc. All In The Family was a truly groundbreaking show. Just because I didn't address your personal thoughts on certain aspects of the show, it's creators, staff and actors doesn't automatically make me unaware of any of them as you so bluntly stated. You would be well advised to stop making judgements and putting your own words into other people's mouths. You can apologize below.

George Jefferson, a Black neighbor of Archie's, was introduced on "All In The Family" and got a highly popular spin-off show called "The Jeffersons." George was also racist and bigoted and was called out often on both series. They were trying to show that bigotry and ignorance know no boundaries. Anyone can have an ugly side. Archie and George had some hilarious interactions when they tried to out prejudice the other.

He stood up for others people rights but often had a problem with Gloria's being her own person when they disagreed with his POV - see the episode with David Soul or where Gloria and Edith moved in her friends.

This is needed today, honest talk, with nobody having a meltdown over it. It's what changes things. More talk, not less.

@christopherturco197 7 месяцев назад

Nowadays, honest talk is stifled. Those who presume themselves to be right attack the "others" often for the use of a single word in order to shut down their speech, rather than promoting honest discussion, which can lead to the education of people on both sides of the discussion. There's no opportunity for anyone to grow, and certainly no chance for anyone to understand the other person's position, whether right or wrong. It's all about discounting the other person as irredeemable and worthless. No chance for finding common ground, no chance for persuading the other person of the correctness of an opposing position when it is true and just. Sometimes the other person can't be immediately persuaded to the error of their argument, but at least they are left with something to think about, if they're willing to be honest with themselves. Often times, they eventually come to admit the error of their thinking when given the chance without necessarily having to admit to the person they argued with that they were wrong. What's more important, being proved right, or helping someone change their thinking when it is warranted?

Lear's original pilot, with different actors playing Mike and Gloria, was originally aired in 1968 under the title 'Justice For All'. After finally settling on the final casting, 'All in the Family' ran from 1971 to 1979.

I loved this bit. I think my 2 favourite scenes are the one where Mike and Archie are trapped in the cellar of his pub and they get drunk and actually have a real, human conversation and it's incredible, and the other is the 2 part episode with Archie and the KKK. Spoiler alert - he's not a big fan. Archie is incredibly ignorant, but he's not malicious. Sure, he doesn't necessarily want anyone to know he associates with black people because his social circle can be pretty racist, but if it comes down to it, and you completely disrespect or put people's lives at risk, no matter who they are, he'll say something. The bit with his housekeeper is great too. Same sort of idea. He has some really ignorant ideas, but he shows that he has the capacity to learn. But dad told him some really stupid things, and he believed him.

@triman95 7 месяцев назад

I couldn't have said it better myself. Yes, he was incredibly ignorant in many ways. But he was not a bad man, he was not an evil man, he did not wish harm on any person regardless of race, religion, or gender. He just had some.. let say... backward thoughts on things.

@IggyStardust1967 7 месяцев назад

Britt... I grew up watching this show in the 1970s. But it wasn't until a bit later in life (I was born in 1967) that I realized that Archie wasn't an outright racist, but rather a bigot (there IS a difference). Also, his character evolved over the years, and showed a lot of growth by the end of the series (which continued with a sequel series for a few years). Archie, you have to remember, grew up during a period in our history where segregation was very common, and people like him (working class with low education) were "programmed" to hold onto the "old ways". I'm actually older now than Archie was when the series started. I actually did a Reaction video for the first episode, and included a "still" in it explaining it very well, but the video got blocked (I can't even access it), and I don't know if I have that "still" image on my HD. I should look, because it explained Archie very well. In any case, Archie didn't HATE minorities, or want to see anything bad happen to them.... but more "out of sight, out of mind" when it came to his neighborhood. He didn't mind working with them, and even found some surprising details about people that were in his "circle". Norman Lear (creator/writer of this show, and many others of the time) died recently, so you're likely to see a lot of these old shows pop up. But I can tell you, these shows really brought a LOT of tough subjects up, that many times made us laugh, but also made us cry occasionally... but we ALWAYS had something to think about, and have a discussion on. I highly recommend going down the Norman Lear rabbit hole! You won't be disappointed.

@MrNoclutch 7 месяцев назад

Sad thing about the show was it had different effects on different people. Some took it the way the "Program" was intended "Social Reconstruction" and learned from it and it helped them be informed and open to change. Others seen it as a means to affirm what they believed which was sad to see them miss the point in a particular episode. The networks loved this formula as it was used heavily before and after for most shows. Watching shows with a Strawman and the label or subject they want to attack is not always balanced or caring of a person's point of view or beliefs from his experiences as they never covered that in the character unless they wanted the viewer to sympathize with them, a viewer had to bridge that themselves from their own experiences and beliefs. Most shows were basic and set on how a person would react by how they felt/feelings but those that took the time to think about it became offended at being seen as small minded people "Programmed". Even to this day I rather pick up a book over watching a "Programmed Show" as it is created to entertain the lowest common denominator of the targeted audience. From my personal experiences I was only amused as I was watching my father's generation's beliefs attacked by the Boomer Generation. Today we see that Boomer Generation the same way we seen Archie attacked. Now that is funny.

@charliemac64 7 месяцев назад

Excellent post. Archie's experience of growth across the show's (and subsequent spinoff) mirrors that of my old man. Not a racist, but definitely bigoted.

This show ran from 1971 to 1979, during which and in the years just prior, the US was going through enormous social change. There was the Civil Rights movement, the Women’s Rights movement, and the protests over the Vietnam War. They brought each forward in a family setting through mostly likes le, yet still very human characters. Through the carefully written comedy, and Carroll O’Connor’s willingness to allow himself to be the “out-of-touch biased fool” it worked. It brought these issues and showed the absurdity of social bias. It spawned “The Jefferson’s”, “Maude”, which then spawned “Good Times”.

@bobhoffman9848 7 месяцев назад

At a time when families were featured in sitcoms like “My Three Sons,” “Family Affair,” and “The Brady Bunch,” “All in the Family” shocked contemporary audiences by putting social issues in the forefront. It dealt with racism through Archie’s bigotry, along with the generation gap, the Vietnam conflict, women’s liberation, gay rights, gun control, etc. And unlike the unrealistic sitcoms of the past, it acknowledged that sometimes, people had to use the bathroom. Hearing the toilet flushing was controversial and groundbreaking, which is hard to believe when you see what’s on television today.

two of the best actors(comedy) ever, they were iconic together, I don't know how they kept from falling on the floor with belly hurting laughter

Since Norman Lear passed away they showed this on a special the other night. Norman Lear said it was Sammy Davis juniors idea to come on the show and Sammy wrote how it was supposed to be played out. Sammy Davis was an incredible singer and actor and dancer. He and Elvis were very close.

@ewrekzz7360 7 месяцев назад

Absolutely! I heartily recommend you find more clips or full episodes - whatever. I hope it conveys how groundbreaking the show was when I say that a TV show is included in some of my most important life lessons that I think of still today at nearly 60

@brendaclark8344 7 месяцев назад

They cut the final scene where Archie asks Sammy fit he would take a picture of them together. With Mike at the camera, at the count of three on three Sammy kisses Archie on the cheek. The look on Archie's face, priceless!

The creator of this show and many of its spinoffs was Norman Lear. He recently passed away he was over 100 ✌️❤️

All in the Family is an all-time great piece of television. In my opinion Archie Bunker was the greatest character to play on TV. The creator of this show Norman Lear just passed about a week ago @ 101.

Many people mentioned that Carroll O'Connor was in the TV series In The Heat Of The Night. What they didn't mention was that the movie In The Heat Of The Night (1967) also dealt with racism (and murder). The white Mississippi sheriff (film: Rod Steiger, TV: Carroll O'Connor) was racist, but learned to appreciate and become friends with the African-American NY detective (film: Sidney Poitier).

Time passing doesn’t mean progress. Back then it was possible to have the conversation without one side going batshit crazy, saying they’re offended. Archie had, knew and recognized his faults and when he was called on them intelligently owned them. Didn’t apologise… just went on his way. And that’s ok… we’re all different coz that’s how God created us!

Great show. Also loved the Jeffersons which was a spin off of All In The Family.

@lynettebrinkman9552 7 месяцев назад

Back in that day you did not see white and black people on the same tv show so this was quite cutting edge. They also made fun of how black people felt about whites. My favorite episode ever was when Archie’s wife was going through “ the change” ( menopause).

@John-hr9ec 7 месяцев назад

Such a great series, Rob Reiner aka “meathead” was the perfect foil to Archie’s character.

I remember when I was in high school when They aired the the episode about Homosexuality, We had a long discussion about it in Sociology class. I think this was around 1969. To put this in perspective I went to a Segregated elementary school. I remember when they desegregated the school. I was in about the 4th grade and Honestly that was the first time I was around any black kids. When they started , all I think was what was all the fuss about. They are just little kids. I remember some of them , You don't become friends with everyone, But I became lifelong friends with a few of them. But we all grew up into adulthood and went our seperate ways. Of course that was back in the early 60s. The sad part is that if they had done this earlier then I think then everyone could grow together instead of growing apart! I always enjoy your reaction. You are a Class act. God Bless.

My favorite episode, was the discussion of young men off to war and becoming soldiers and getting killed vs young men who dodge the draft and went to Canada. Very intense with both sides giving equal defense of their actions.

You need to check out the Flip wilson show when he plays "geraldine." It's too funny.

@royperkins9176 7 месяцев назад

Loved the reaction. The show showed ignorance in a humorous way through characters who were all kind hearted and not hateful. I think it helped to fight ignorant prejudices, still fighting hateful prejudices today, one step forward is progress. Thanks

You really need to watch the entire bit with Sammy in the chair...brilliant

@p.z.arnott2329 7 месяцев назад

You gotta watch the entire episode. Sammy always been a fan a show and wanted to be on it. The show never relied on guest stars to become known. But when it was learned that Sammy Davis Jr. was gonna guest starring as himself on the show, you knew from the get-go it would be hilariousas Archie was playing host to a well known celebrity who was black, Jewish and had a glass eye because he lost his real one in a car crash a few years prior. And Sammy was no stranger this type of humor as he toured with the Rat Pack, made up of him, Frank Sinatra, Joey Bishop, Dean Martin and Peter Lawford and they would make these kind of jokes at night clubs.

@pandafan4672 7 месяцев назад

Great review. The whole show was about talking about issues that couldn't be talked about....and did so, through a comedy frame.

This was perhaps the most ground breaking forum for society in America ever. This show tackled so many social and political views that were changing that it helped inspire the change in its satire format. It has some incredibly heavy family issue topics as well. Nothing will ever approach this show in its societal influence. The actors, the writing and tge actual world events it portrayed at the time just became a perfect storm of pointing out so nany wrongs in the country in its own humorous way that it should never be forgotten and really could be a college course in social skills and development. You will do yourself a horrid injustice if u don't watch all of this series. Some are silly, some are sad, and some will chill your soul. It's even more incredible if you remember what was going on in the 70s. Vietnam Nam, economic recession, gas rationing, equal rights,women's lib, the selective service draft, the Cold War at its peak, the start of tge emergence of the lgbtq society, illegal immigration, health care reform. It just touchec every sensitive social point, got people talking and I truly think it helped spawn social progress that hadn't happened

The funniest, most amazing thing about this is this was a time when erveryone gathered around and watched TV. These heavy convos were allowed to be broadcast and people were able to also think AND share a laugh.....times change....

@rogerwelsh2335 11 дней назад

It’s so interesting listening a young persons take on this show. Like saying they had an audience that didn’t think like Archie because they were laughing at Sammy’s jokes. What do young people think times were like in the 70’s???

@mariodelarosa5722 6 месяцев назад

FYI. In Carroll O'Connor's last TV series he was in, In The Heat of the Night (Great drama by the way), he was a small town sheriff/police chief, that was married to a black spouse.

Sammy Davis Jr. is one of my top two favorite entertainers of all time.

First time, "All In The Family" was a ground breaking show, it touched on a lot subject's in America that no one was talking about. Keep watching more! The show was constantly plagued by the censors for what it was trying to do.

Plus this is the show that spawned “THE JEFFERSONS” U need to react to the wedding episode where George Jefferson’s son Lionel is getting married to a “white girl”. “George Jefferson” and “Archie Bunker” have some of the greatest interactions and funniest reactions and dialogue. This show was such an amazing show that really is a time capsule for where the world was back in those years. This one many awards because of subject matter that was tackled. One of the first shows to have a black and white writing staff. This show was able to be a “teaching & Learning tool” in the disguise of a sitcom, without the audience realizing it! The acting was so real that people almost forgot they were watching a tv show. Being that this show was a massive hit and success and won many awards, I really think this had both a profound effect & affect on race relations in the country and even in the entertainment industry where more “doors” and job opportunities were opened up to non Caucasian people. The way the world is now and will continue to go there will never be another show like All in the Family ever again just due to the subject matter discussed in the show! I feel that sometimes things done and thought of as progressive can hurt society more than help. It’s not progress if you wind up censoring or stopping an idea or, as in this matter, tv show, that could help the country or world possibly see their differences and realize that they’re not really all that different actually. That all people are more alike than media or govt or whoever wants to separate and destroy any harmony among people or places may say!
