On this day 1971 : All in the family ('the Bunker family') started 36 years ago !!!!

'All in the family' started today exactly 36 years ago on CBS TV !
Who haven't watched this great serie ? The family always quarreling about everything. I liked the 'deeper thoughts' as explained below.

All in the Family was first seen in January of 1971 and immediately changed the face of television. Not only was this the number one television series from 1971 through 1976, but it also signified an avalanche of other situation comedies that dealt with controversial subjects in realistic ways. Including, Chico & the Man, The Jeffersons, Maude, Good Times and Sanford & Son

The series centered around the Bunker family who lived in a home located at 704 Houser Street in Queens, New York. Archie Bunker was the main character, and what a character he was. He was televisons most famous bigot, crass and down right rude. Yet he was loveable, with a soft side just beneath the surface. Edith Bunker was his somewhat dizzy wife whom he called "Dingbat". Edith put up with Archie and had qualities about her that made her one of television's most unforgetable characters. Also living in the Bunker household were Archie and Edith's daughter, Gloria, and her husband Mike, or "Meathead" as Archie called him.

The original format ended in 1979 which was when the series was renamed Archie Bunker's Place. The new format centered around Archie running his local tavern which he bought in 1977.

Meet the Bunkers was the title of the first show.
Originally aired: Tuesday January 12, 1971 on CBS

Writer: Norman Lear
Director: John Rich
Show Stars: Sally Struthers (Gloria Stivic (1971-1978)), Rob Reiner (Michael Stivic (1971-1978)), Jean Stapleton (Edith Bunker), Carroll O'Connor (Archie Bunker)
Recurring Role: Mike Evans (Lionel Jefferson)
Production Code: 101

Because of the succes of the show Archie & Edith made also an LP which I offer you here.
Although the sound quality is of course quite low I am personally very satisfied.
But when you get this you will have a unique LP.
More info about the TV show is included in the file.

While your statements about this splendid series are true, I feel that you should acknowledge its origin as a US version of the equally splendid BBC series 'Til Death Do Us Part. Similarly, Sandford & Son was based on the BBC Series Steptoe & Son.

I watched US 'All in the family' as I did UK 'Steptoe and son'.
In my country Holland there was a very succesful translation 'Stiefbeen en zoon' from the latter.

The BBC serie 'Til Death Do Us Part' doesn't ring a bell to me (well, I know/remember the title).
Maybe when I can watch again an episode I will know.

Appreciate your comment.
