| Archie Bunker's Place | comment |
In which Archie Bunker gets to loudly voice his opinions at his bar instead of at home.Archie Bunker's Place was a Work Com (with some Dramedy elements) and continuation of the classic sitcom All in the Family, which began airing on CBS in 1979. While never as popular or acclaimed as its predecessor, the show maintained a large enough audience to last four seasons, ending its run in 1983.Following the previous series, Archie Bunker (Carroll O'Connor) and his wife Edith (Jean Stapleton) continued to nag each other and deal with Archie's very conservative views, all while attempting to raise their adopted grandniece, Stephanie (Danielle Brisebois), who was rapidly growing up. The major difference in this series was that most of the stories were set at the eponymous neighborhood tavern he'd purchased in the eighth-season premiere of AITF. The tavern was the place for him to sound off on current issues, get support from his friends, and argue with the bar's liberal, Jewish co-owner Murray Klein (Martin Balsam) and wisecracking cook Veronica Rooney (Anne Meara).The series, like its predecessor, was set in the New York City borough of Queens. The opening and closing themes used re-scored instrumental versions of the songs from AITF.Although not as well-regarded as the original series, Archie Bunker's Place still had a number of memorable moments. The show is probably best known for the heartbreaking second-season premiere "Archie Alone", which deals with the aftermath of Edith's offscreen death from a stroke (Stapleton having left the series midway through the first season, due to her belief that she'd done all she could with the character); the episode earned O'Connor two Emmy Awards for his performance, as well as the prestigious Peabody award. | |

| Archie Bunker's Place / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: Edith's death numbs Archie so much that he spends most of the second-season premiere stubbornly refusing to acknowledge the reality of her death (signing off on her insurance, cleaning out her belongings, etc) or even discussing the matter. He breaks down when he's alone at the end of the episode, though, and laments that he didn't know she died until he tried to wake her by shaking her body. Norman Lear had one in real life, as he had grown so attached to the characters on that he felt like he was killing a real person. | |

Cousin Oliver: Stephanie, though she was introduced in AITF. Though instead of being used as a ploy to keep innocent and childish storylines prevalent, she actually brought a lot of dark episodes, and matured and grew up like any adolescent. | |

Crappy Holidays: In "Thanksgiving Reunion", Mike and Gloria come home to visit from California, but at dinner it's revealed that Mike lost his job after participating in a nude anti-nuclear protest, causing Archie to (naturally) hit the roof and storm out of the house. They do ultimately patch things up, however (including one last heartwarming scene between Archie and Mike), and the episode ends with a nice scene of the Bunkers and Stivics enjoying leftover turkey together in the kitchen. | |

Disappeared Dad | |
| Archie Bunker's Place / int_28cd01ca | comment |
Disappeared Dad: Stephanie's father, Floyd Mills. He had appeared on and off since the final season of AITF to beg the Bunkers for money and/or to try to take his daughter back. His final appearance came in the 1981 episode "Growing Up is Hard to Do," where a now 13-year-old Stephanie is celebrating her bat mitzvah. Floyd shows up drunk and to beg for more money... which Stephanie finally obliges. Her act of selflessness (which impresses Archie) marks the last time Floyd is seen or heard from... his fate left unresolved (perhaps a nod to real life). | |

When Archie finally lets go of his emotions, he bemoans being unable to figure out why she was unresponsive as he shook her repeatedly, hoping to wake her up so she could fix breakfast. | |

Poorly-Disguised Pilot: "Gloria: The First Day" was intended to be one of these for the Gloria spinoff. But CBS rejected it, and when that show was picked up, it was given a completely re-written pilot episode instead. (The original was subsequently included in the syndication package, however.) | |

Transatlantic Equivalent | |
| Archie Bunker's Place / int_794cff5 | comment |
Transatlantic Equivalent: All in the Family started off as an adaptation of the British sitcom Till Death Us Do Part, but Archie Bunker's Place was a completely original continuation of Family. However, Death creator Johnny Speight thought a sequel program like Place was such a good idea that he developed one for his own show, In Sickness & In Health, which premiered in 1985 and ran intermittently until 1992. Several episodes of Sickness were adapted from Place, including their own version of "Archie Alone" that was written after actress Dandy Nichols, who played Else Garnett, died in 1986. | |

"Not So Different" Remark | |
| Archie Bunker's Place / int_984ef9ef | comment |
"Not So Different" Remark: When asked why he should get custody of Stephanie, Archie says that whereas Stephanie's mother ran away from a life of leisure and married a bum, his own daughter not only stayed in poorer conditions but moved in a husband (one he considers a better man than Stephanie's father). This turns out to strike a chord with Judge McGuire, as he later talks about his own family: his father is described as similar to Archie and his two daughters took vastly different paths in life. | |
