All in the Family	comment	A groundbreaking and controversial CBS sitcom from Norman Lear, based on the British sitcom Till Death Us Do Part and airing from 1971â€“79 (and on to 1983, if the run of Archie Bunker's Place is counted). The show has consistently been rated one of the greatest television shows of all time. It was the highest-rated show in the US for five consecutive seasons between 1971 and 1976, earning multiple Emmy and Golden Globe awards (as did each of its lead actors) as well as a Peabody during its run.The show was, at its heart, a Dom Com focused around the Bunker family of Queens, New York and its titular head, Archie Bunker (Carroll O'Connor), an Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist of the first order. Archie was a blue-collar dock worker with conservative and broadly bigoted views, which he was unafraid to voice at any opportunity. Archie's major foils were his wife Edith (Jean Stapleton), his daughter Gloria (Sally Struthers), and his son-in-law Mike Stivic (Rob Reiner). Mike, who was not-so-affectionately nicknamed "Meathead" by Archie ("You heard me. Meathead. Dead from the neck up. Meat... head."), was every bit as opinionated and vocal as Archie himself, but liberal and socially active. This usually resulted in a verbal sparring match between the two, with Mike's solid, intellectual, but sometimes idealized arguments clashing with Archie's stance, usually full of malapropisms and wayward logic but also with a closer personal relationship to the situation at hand and an ability to be so cleverly obtuse that Mike was unprepared to answer him. Around all this, Edith simply wanted to avoid conflict, trying her sweet best to defuse the frequent conflicts and to just keep a peaceful home — no easy task when two of the people thrived on conflict.From the start, All in the Family broke a large number of unwritten network rules, particularly the ones pertaining to the type of content that was, and wasn't, considered acceptable to feature on prime time commercial television. Archie's language was laced with various epithets common on the street but never previously heard on TV. Mike and Gloria made it clear that they had an active and enthusiastic sex life. Even the Bunkers' toilet was the first one heard being flushed on air. As the show continued, it tackled a wide variety of taboo topics, either directly, or through the medium of Archie's debates with Mike and others. These included race relations, gender roles, homosexuality, war, economy, political current events, abortion, rape, child custody, and other issues that, if not new in the 1970s, were most certainly not brought up in a comedy show.The impact of the show was such that it became the focus of a heated national debate on whether the use of comedy was an appropriate means by which to combat prejudice and social inequality. Never before had a situation comedy, light family fare for the most part, ever treaded such heady waters. Very few shows had tried to combine controversy and comedy before.The show's success inspired quite a few spinoffs directly or indirectly resulting from the show or characters appearing during its run, and several of them were critical and commercial successes in their own right. Maude (1972-1978) Which spun off Good Times (1974-1979) The Jeffersons (1975-1985) Which spun off Checking In (1981) Archie Bunker's Place (1979-1983), an After Show focusing the location on Archie's bar. Gloria (1982-1983), a spin-off starring only Gloria, the premise being that Mike left her to live in a hippie commune so she takes their kid and goes on a journey to find herself... In the Big City. 704 Hauser (1994), about an African-American family living in the former Bunker residence.

All in the Family / int_10dcbe05	comment	Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Every now and then in each season they need to make an episode that reminds the audience that yes, Archie is an asshole and gets frustrated with Edith a lot, but for all their squabbles, he loves her just as much as she does him, if not even more so. Archie always considered Gloria his "Little Goil" ... and meant that with pride and the love only a father could have. Gloria, for all she disagrees with her father, dearly loves her father, too and can unfailingly count on him in time of need. Archie and Mike get one of these just before the Stivics leave for California.

All in the Family / int_1312305b	comment	Letters to the Editor: The basis of plot in the eighth-season episode "Archie and the KKK" starts with Mike's letter to a local newspaper giving his thoughts on looting, arson, vandalism, etc. during a recent citywide blackout; his opinion takes the typical liberal attitude: It's not the criminal, but the black man's response to perceived injustice and frustration with an economic system geared toward affluent whites and against already impoverished African Americans and other minorities, and that when the government engages in the same activity as the criminals did, it's "free enterprise." Unusual in that letters to the editor were rarely a topic even mentioned in a situation comedy.

All in the Family / int_20b5cce7	type	"Do It Yourself" Theme Tune
All in the Family / int_20b5cce7	comment	"Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: The opening credits featured Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton singing (with Stapleton also playing the piano) in character as Archie and Edith, in front of the live studio audience (who would applaud at the end). Several different versions were used throughout the show's run. The first season's version is the only one to feature audience laughter during the song (when Edith shrieks on the high note "And you knew were you weere theeen"). Ironically, it's the version where she draws it out the least; each new version of the song has her drawing it out more and more. Each new version also places ever-greater enunciation on certain lyrics, particularly "Gee, our old LaSalle ran great". Archie and Edith are increasingly affectionate with each other in each new version, to reflect their growing affection for each other in-series: in season 1 they barely look at each other, in season 5 they lean into each other, and in season 9 Edith embraces Archie as he leans into her. This was a very literal example... CBS didn't want to waste money on an opening title sequence for a show that wasn't likely (in their opinion) to go past 13 weeks (if it even aired at all). Lear created this now-classic opening since it was all he could afford. Carroll O'Connor is credited as co-writer for the closing theme, a piano instrumental called "Remembering You". (He wrote the lyrics, which are never heard, though O'Connor sometimes sang them when he made appearances elsewhere.)

Mike tries to defend himself and point out how much of a bigot Archie is with his attitude. Lionel then points out that Archie's attitude is a result of him being an ignorant boob who doesn't know any better. Mike, on the other hand, is smart enough to know but treats Lionel less like an individual person than Archie does.

In part 4, an arbitrator is able to negotiate a settlement, which Archie gladly accepts.

All in the Family / int_22f5d1b9	comment	Some of My Best Friends Are X: Arch-racist Archie Bunker denies that he is, well, racist. When challenged, it turns out that all these "friends" are actually shoe-shines, waiters and other people who work for him, rather than anyone he actually socializes with. So not only would his statement not be an adequate defense, it isn't even true. His liberal son-in-law Mike turns out to not be much better. While he's very friendly and sociable to the Bunkers' black neighbor Lionel, the only things he ever talks to him about are race politics and civil rights developments. Lionel reveals in one episode that it makes him feel that Mike considers him just a representative of the black community he can talk about issues with rather than a real friend (Archie on the other hand at least treats Lionel like an individual).

Beverly is never stated to be gay, just a drag queen (someone who dresses as a woman as part of an act but not necessarily in their personal life) and his effeminate mannerisms could be explained by spending so much time in character (or just not breaking character; Beverly is pretty much only ever seen in drag, which is somewhat at odds with the "not going out in public in drag" part).

Gloria is then shocked at the thought of the criminal being released and her innocent father being jailed... until the discussion brings to light the fact that the officer who found the tear gas didn't have a warrant, which causes the case to be dismissed.

The opening scene has Edith, the only All in the Family regular to appear, dropping by to say goodbye to George and Louise—and then the entire rest of the episode takes place in the Jeffersons' new penthouse. All the characters of The Jeffersons are then introduced except for Florence the maid, who appeared in the first official episode of The Jeffersons the next week. Of course, this was less jarring than most backdoor pilots, as George and Louise had been recurring characters on All in the Family and the Willises had also appeared (played by different actors).

However, Edith was often the only person who was able to apply practical, plain-spoken solutions to issues, whether it was solving a riddle about a female doctor, not allowing racism to tint her opinions while she served on a jury, or defusing a potentially catastrophic argument by rhapsodizing about maple syrup. She also embodied the principles of kindness and embracing those different from her (without being condescending, as Mike tended to do) that the rest of her family could get too caught up arguing about to practice. For example, Edith happily called the African-American Louise Jefferson her best friend while their respective husbands refused to even speak to each other, "adopted" the gay drag performer Beverly Lasalle as a member of her family, and immediately accepted her lesbian cousin Liz's longtime relationship with her "roommate" Veronica as completely legitimate. It's not for nothing that critics considered Edith, who spoke plainly but wisely, the "anti-Richard Nixon," who was very intelligent but widely perceived to lack honesty and common sense.

All in the Family / int_3fafbfd4	type	Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome
All in the Family / int_3fafbfd4	comment	Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome: A really weird example with Justin Quigley, the Bunker's adopted Grandfather. In his first episode, he claimed to be 82. In "Archie's 50th Birthday" he turns 83. Then in "Archie's Weighty Problem" he suddenly claims to be 92 (without a change in actor; Mustin was 91 when this last episode was filmed and had been playing younger than he was before). Joey Stivic, Archie's grandson, also undergoes this, though it spans four different series: Joey was born in "Birth of the Baby", which aired in December, 1975. Like most infant characters on television, he was initially played by twins (Jason and Justin Draeger). His lone appearance on All in the Family after his parents depart the series as regulars (in "California, Here We Are") sees him played by Cory R. Miller, born August 15, 1975 (four months older than his character). When Joey returns for the "Thanksgiving Reunion" two-parter on Archie Bunker's Place in 1979, he is played by Dick Billingsley, born January 6, 1975 (just about a year older than his character). The actor most closely associated with the role of Joey is Christian Jacobs, who played him in the short-lived Gloria spinoff. He was born on January 11, 1972, and the character of Joey was aged up to make up for this four-year gap (depicted as a preteen instead of the seven-year-old child he should have been). Joey made one final appearance on 704 Hauser, a failed spinoff set in the Bunker home (after Archie had sold it to a new family), reminiscing about his childhood in the Bunker home. This childhood must have taken place before his parents even met, because he was played by Casey Siemaszko, born in early 1961 (almost fifteen years before Joey Stivic). The character, who should have been barely out of high school, looked and acted like a man in his thirties. He also had a drastic change in appearance and temperament: all previous incarnations of Joey took after his mother in looks, whereas Siemaszko's Joey was essentially a carbon copy of his father (ironically, unlike Rob Reiner, Siemaszko actually is Chicago Polish).

Upstairs is the bathroom and two bedrooms; presumably to the left (from the staircase) is Mike and Gloria's room (this later was Stephanie's room) and Archie and Edith's room.

While he was a bigot, his attitudes came about more due to the society he grew up in, rather than genuine malice or racism. Once he actually got to know other cultures and peoples better, he was able to accept them at least a little more easily. When he turned down an invitation to join a Ku Klux Klan-like lodge and burn a cross in "commie" Michael's front yard, he told the group he was black because he had once had a blood transfusion from a black woman.

All in the Family / int_479f9ad0	comment	Characterization Marches On: Although the show is remembered as one of the earliest sitcoms to have its characters undergo real Character Development over time, it also indulged in this: Archie in the early seasons is depicted as prudish in the extreme, to the point of not even being able to say the word sex, and even the other characters (including Edith) wonder how he was ever able to conceive Gloria. In the later seasons he and Edith are much more readily depicted as having a healthy sex life - one episode ends with him propositioning her (which she accepts) and in another she comments that they were already sexually active when they were only engaged. She tells a friend that being with Archie is less like the 4th of July and more like Thanksgiving. In fact, in "Gloria's Shock" (season 5), during a discussion about when or if couples should have children, Michael points out that lots of babies are born simply because somebody forgot to go to the drugstore. Edith and Archie exchange a meaningful look. We're not sure if they were married or just engaged when this happened.

All in the Family / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: The show changed quite a bit from the time it was shopped to studios in 1968 (under the title "Justice For All") to the time it debuted on CBS in 1971. When the show was officially picked up to series, several things changed between the official pilot and the rest of the episodes. While O'Connor and Rob Reiner had their roles nailed down, Jean Stapleton used a very low, non-shrill voice for Edith, in addition to being much more sarcastic with Archie, Sally Struthers' Gloria was much more sexually provocative (wearing hot pants and miniskirts as a sign that she was a sexually liberated woman, at least for her time) and the entirety of the early episodes focused on a single argument between Archie and Mike (with no B-plots). The series also debuted with a "Presented For Mature Audiences" disclaimer (which was jettisoned after a few episodes because there was no audience complaints). In the first couple episodes Jean Stapleton used her actual voice when portraying Edith, and the character was just as brusque and sarcastic as Archie. Only the first season featured background music, and in the second episode "Writing the President", there's even a daydreaming sequence - the only time the series ever went inside a character's head. Also audience laughter could be heard through the theme song, especially after Stapleton screeches out "And you knew where you were the-e-en."

All in the Family / int_565106b3	comment	Women Are Wiser: Edith in some ways. She was, indeed, as Archie often called her, a "dingbat", but she was also much more socially sensitive and moral than him. Perhaps the best example of all comes from the season 4 episode "The Games Bunkers Play"; while playing "Group Therapy", Edith confides to Mike that she doesn't like the way he makes fun of Archie, calling him ignorant. When Mike tries to defend himself, she said "If you really was smarter then Archie, you'd be smart enough to not let him see that you're smarter than him." The audience actually applauded that, it was so brilliant. There's actually a somewhat famous quote about the difference between intelligence and wisdom that compares Edith (wise but unintelligent) to a contemporary public figure who was the reverse, said figure being Richard Nixon.

Archie is hoping to receive the silver tea service set which has been in Edith's family for 100 years. Veronica approaches Edith, asking to keep the service, stating that she and Liz had afternoon tea from the service for 25 years. Veronica struggles to explain her relationship with Liz, saying it was "more like a marriage". An understanding Edith reluctantly gives the tea set to Veronica, much to Archie's chagrin. If Archie were to publicize Veronica's lesbianism, she would have lost her teaching job and been ostracized by the community. Edith tells Veronica to keep the tea set and Archie ultimately relents and suggests that she should go and find herself a man.

All in the Family / int_6b05b601	comment	Jerkass Has a Point: Archie and Mike constantly butted heads about everything from race relations to women's liberation to how to best put on socks, with Archie taking on a stereotypically old-fashioned, conservative (read: right-wing) opinion and Mike a liberal, ostensibly more "enlightened" (read: left-wing) one. Creator Norman Lear was clearly a left-leaning liberal himself (as was Carroll O'Connor, who played Archie), but many episodes made it clear that Mike's beliefs were occasionally misguided, and that Archie did have good (if brusque) points to argue about certain topics. In one episode, Archie points out that big corporations sold everyone on the idea of electricity for decades (to the point of making life nearly unlivable without it), then, after reaping massive profits, turned around and started to tell people to cut electricity usage, as they now saw value in the "energy-saving" market. One episode has Mike and Archie arguing about stealing, with Mike claiming that only poor and hungry people steal. Archie counters that, during a recent blackout, people made off with new cars from a dealership; Mike blusters that it's society's fault for generating a desire for expensive things and asks "What are they supposed to do?" Archie's Armor-Piercing Response: "They're supposed to go out and work for a buck!" When Edith is nearly raped in one two-part episode, Gloria immediately wants to call the police and report it. Archie points out that, when Gloria herself was sexually assaulted, the cops warned her that a lawyer for the defense would twist the story around to make her look like she was leading on the guy, a sadly common tactic in actual rape cases.note Though unfair as it is, Edith probably realistically wouldn't have to endure this to the extent that Gloria would have, given that the latter is a young, attractive woman and the former a little old lady. In the same episode, Edith suffers from severe post-traumatic stress after the attempted rape, and doesn't want to talk or think about the situation. Gloria is eventually forced to provide some Tough Love, pointing out that Edith's silence means that other women are in danger (indeed, the rapist has assaulted another woman by this point), and that she can't begin to heal until she faces the incident head on. She isn't subtle at all about the situation and comes across as rude, but it proves to be the necessary catalyst to help Edith. In the episode "Archie Eats and Runs," Archie is right when he says that when one tiny thing goes wrong, it's human nature to panic. He's also correct about the food-tasters ancient kings used to have, in a rare display of Archie being educated about something.

All in the Family / int_7335ffa9	comment	Grey-and-Gray Morality: While we're clearly meant to see Archie as a blue-collar bigot with horribly outdated, racist, sexist, and generally socially backward thinking, he's also an overall nice guy who loves his daughter, spoils his grandson, had a troubled childhood that explains most of his nasty behavior, and is generally trying to keep up with a world that's changing extremely fast. ** On the other hand, we have Mike, who is a liberal and typically stands for everything Archie doesn't like, including positive ideas including the civil rights movement and equal rights for women. However, he can be just as narrow-minded and selfish as Archie, and perhaps even more so, as he tends to claim a moral high ground in every argument (regardless of whether it's justified). The overall theme of the show seems to be that while there are certain thingsâ€”such as rape or racial profilingâ€”that are definitely wrong, there aren't any easy answers to major problems like war, poverty, and violence, and both sides are represented by people who are equally good and bad regardless of position. Individual episodes of the show had this treatment as well. One Christmas episode saw a draft dodger and a war veteran whose son was killed in Vietnam both at the Bunkers' house simultaneously (though Archie and the veteran didn't know about the draft dodger's status at first). When they find out, Archie reacts with fury, but the veteran responds with kindness and understanding instead of rage. In another episode, the Bunkers' door is branded with a swastika. A local member of a Jewish defense league shows up to explain the situation and expresses the philosophy that sometimes violence is necessary when it comes to fighting back against inequality. Archie agrees, Mike disagrees, and neither is shown as being correctâ€”and in the end, the young man is killed by a car bomb. The final shot of the episode is the Bunkers reacting in horror, as opposed to any further moralizing.

Though the episode itself still had jokes in it, Lambert was played jarringly straight, and Edith's usual ramblings were Played for Drama as attempts to save herself from being assaulted. David Dukes, the actor who played Lambert, said later in life that the audience actually growled when he was pawing at Jean Stapleton, and he was legitimately worried he might get attacked when leaving the studio.

Mike has overheard part of the conversation; Eddie tries to put up his bravado but realizes Mike is on to him, forcing him to admit, "He (his son) told me to stay the hell away from him!" In the end, Frazier is clearly trying to keep check of his emotions while others toast him for being such a success and inspiration.

All in the Family / int_80a247a9	comment	Breather Episode: The 1977-1978 season is acclaimed for having some of that series' darkest and most memorable episodes: Archie buys Kelsey's Bar and is addicted to amphetamines, Edith's cousin comes out of the closet, Archie has an all-too-close encounter with the Ku Klux Klan, Edith witnesses a murder, Edith is nearly raped, Archie admits to Mike he was abused as a child, Mike gets a job offer in California, Mike and Gloria say goodbye. But, lest we forget, there were a number of lighter episodes â€“ Edith being hired to do a TV commercial, Archie hosting his first Super Bowl party (even if he was robbed that day), Archie wants to go on a fishing trip but must host an impromptu wedding between two old codgers and a few others. Even though themes of ethics and morals came into play for several of the "lighter" episodes, they were considerably easier and more family friendly than the most memorable of the season's episodes. Speaking of which, each one of the seasons, from the second season on, had episodes that were played more for laughs (in the vein of the traditional sitcom of the 1950s and 1960s) than to break another of TV's taboos or address a controversial topic. One of the first â€“ and perhaps the signature episode of the entire series â€“ was a 1972 episode featuring a beloved singer and dancer named Sammy Davis Jr..

All in the Family / int_90dd217f	comment	Little Known Facts: Archie Bunker was known to mix this trope with Serious Business, offering up some absurd idea about how to do a simple task, such as eating dinner or putting on a pair of pants, then giving bizarre, pseudo-factual explanations as to why his way was best (for example, when you're eating dinner, you have to combine the various items on your plate and take small bites of each, rather than eating one thing at a timeâ€”if you do that, all of the pea nutrients might go to your hands, for example). Normally, this was harmless...it was when he started mixing this trope with ideas about social issues that things got a little more serious, though no less funny. For instance, in the famous episode with Sammy Davis Jr., Archie remarks that God obviously doesn't want integrated society, as "He put you over in Africa, and He put the rest of us in all the white countries"; Sammy quickly replies "Well, you must have told him where we were, 'cause somebody came and got us."

At the end of the episode, Edith rushes over to the Stivics, where a surprise birthday party (that she knew about) gets started for her. Hearing everyone sing "Happy Birthday" and "For She's A Jolly Good Fellow" when we know what's just happened to her fits this trope.

All in the Family / int_9ae69919	comment	Indignant Slap: Edith is a very kindly and loving woman who has the patience to even put up with Archie Bunker as her husband. But when she does get angry, she is very much a case of Beware the Nice Ones. In one episode, Archie has promised her that he won't gamble anymore. While he's in the upstairs bathroom they get a phonecall, which Edith answers, with one of Archie's friends asking her to tell Archie that he placed a bet for him, $10 for Glowworm in the fifth. When Archie comes downstairs and tries to crack a lame joke, Edith slaps him after telling him what the message was, as Archie had broken a promise to her. In the second half of "Edith's 50th Birthday", Edith had been attacked by a would-be-rapist in the previous half, and Gloria was trying to convince her mother to go and report it, as Edith had done for her a few seasons back. Edith flat out refuses, prompting Gloria to accuse her mother of being a Hypocrite and declaring she wasn't her mother anymore. Infuriated, Edith slaps Gloria, but it snaps her out of her own depression. She apologizes to Gloria, then grabs her coat to go to the police station to ID the rapist. Gloria then cries from the pain, physical and emotional, of the slap, while her husband comforts her.

When he threatens to call the man in charge of the home and tell him that Edith won't be going over there any more, she blows a gasket and calls him out for trying to pigeonhole her into the role of a housewife, and storms out the front door while the audience hollers in appreciation.

All in the Family / int_a68421bb	type	Animated Adaptation
All in the Family / int_a68421bb	comment	Animated Adaptation: It inspired several of these. The Barkleys, the 1972-73 story of opinionated bus driver Arnie Barkley, his wife Agnes, daughter Terri, son-in-law Roger, and son Chester. All played by different breeds of dogs. Also indirectly inspired the syndicated 1972-74 series Wait Till Your Father Gets Home. The Simpsons episode "Lisa's Sax" parodies the opening, with Homer and Marge in place of Archie and Edith. The Family Guy opening credits sequence is a Shout-Out to the show, and one episode ("Stewie Loves Lois") parodies the Closing Credits sequence. The Netflix original animated series F is for Family is essentially a new version of the series set in 1973, though with some differences such as the cast being younger and having three young children rather than an adult daughter and son-in-law, and the wife searching for an identity outside the home. Despite this, the show hits all the marks, the father even has the same clothes as Archie! Seth Macfarlane has often said that the original idea behind American Dad! was to have "All in the Family in the 21st century", with the ultraconservative Stan and the die-hard liberal Hayley taking Archie and Mike's places respectively. (However, the show lost that idea relatively early on.) South Park was semi-inspired by the show, Matt and Trey mentioned that Eric Cartman was inspired by the idea of how one could adapt Archie Bunker's character to the 1990's. They eventually concluded that an adult character like him would no longer be acceptable, but that a kid spouting a stream of ignorant garbage would be fine. They were right.

All in the Family / int_bdf0640e	comment	You're Not My Father: A particularly powerful example appears in the episode "Edith's Fiftieth Birthday." The first part of the episode sees Edith nearly being raped by a stranger; the second half details her resulting depression, shame, and PTSD. Her daughter Gloria, who was herself a victim of attempted rape earlier in the series, does her best to help Edith recover, but becomes increasingly frustrated by her mother's inability to confront or even talk about what happened. Things reach a boiling point when the rapist attacks another woman, and Edith refuses to identify him as the man in her own case, which would put him away for good. Gloria is shocked that her mother, normally a pinnacle of selflessness, is allowing this; her furious reaction causes Edith to slap her, then break down and finally realize that she needs to face her fears head on.

All in the Family / int_de999021	comment	Rage Quit: The 1973 episode "The Games Bunkers Play" sees the cast (on Mike's suggestion) play a game called Group Therapy, a truth-or-dare type game where participants â€“ instead of being asked softball questions â€“ are asked tough, hard questions and the participants must answer truthfully and honestly. Mike was hoping to have some fun opening up about his friends and family, but the odds aren't in his favor, to say the least ... he's always the target of well-meaning but blunt criticism about his attitudes and such. Eventually, Mike goes into a rant and storms out of the room. He goes on a tirade about Archie and how he got everything in the world but (in his view) didn't deserve it. Edith takes Mike aside and essentially tells her son-in-law about why Archie is the way he is.

All in the Family / int_fccd06b6	type	Beware the Nice Ones
All in the Family / int_fccd06b6	comment	Beware the Nice Ones: Several examples: Edith, in "Edith's Problem." Framed around Edith going through the early stages of menopause, this classic episode became known for Jean Stapleton's comic timing and portrayal of Edith's irritability and mood swings as she deals with the symptoms. Her attempts to put Archie in his place â€“ "Stifle, stifle, STIFLE!" â€“ made this episode. That all said, there were times where Archie â€“ and more than once, even Mike â€“ pissed Edith off. Archie's cases came when he too often opened his mouth, going on tirades about how certain things were "God's business" ... to which Edith would throw it right back at him and say, "Then you let God tend to that business" (and in essence, you butt out). Mike would do it when he either wasn't thinking or when he'd go on the occasional tirade about Archie and how life is better for him than he â€“ this hateful, ignorant racist asshole â€“ truly deserves; Edith, while admitting she doesn't always see eye-to-eye with her husband, would set her son-in-law straight very swiftly and decisively. Lionel Jefferson, the young black neighbor of the Bunkers who most of the time put up with Archie's brow-beating and ill-educated attempts to deal with racial harmony. However, in "Lionel Steps Out," he puts Archie in his place (and none too gently) when he crosses the line and tries to stop him from dating his white niece.

All in the Family / int_fd86da63	comment	Crisis of Faith: One episode has Edith undergo one of these after Mike and a family friend are mugged on Christmas Eve, with the friend subsequently dying. Ironically, it's Mike who convinces her to reconsider.

All in the Family / int_fdc1e848	type	Will They or Won't They?
All in the Family / int_fdc1e848	comment	Will They or Won't They?: Variation — just whether or not Mike and Gloria get back together or go through with their divorce is unclear. It simply gives a vague closing scene of everyone calmly sitting by the Christmas tree. The Gloria spinoff says that he does leave her, but how canon that was is up for debate. Actually the two reappear in the first season of Archie Bunker's Place, back together with no mention of their previous marital problems. Then Gloria reappears a couple of seasons later with Mike having left her, but this was explained as his having a breakdown over the state of society and moving to a couples commune with a student when Gloria refused to join him rather than being related to the issues present in aitf season 9.

All in the Family / int_ff892c21	comment	Guilt by Association Gag: After a news report about a protest Mike is attending indicates that things are starting to turn ugly, Gloria inveigles Archie into going to find Mike and bring him home. A bit later, Mike returns home and describes what went on up to the point where he left just as the cops were starting to arrest everybody in sight. Cue horrified realization and a cut to Archie in jail along with a bunch of hippie protestors.
