Sitcom.
Episodes in the life of the bigoted
Archie Bunker and his family. This
landmark and very popular show (in
America at least) was an adaption of
Britain's Till Death us Do Part.
Several spin-offs were spawned:- Archie
Bunkers Place, Gloria, The
Jeffersons, Maude and 704
Hauser. On 16 Feb 1991 there was a
90 minute CBS special called All in the
Family 20th Anniversary special. The
show was never shy of tackling issues
such as abortion, homosexuality and so
on, in fact Archie had something to say
about most things. Catchphrases included
“Still Yourself”, “Dingbat” and
“Meathead”. Lear made a pilot for
the ABC called Those Were The Days but
they passed on the show only for CBS to
take up the option and see it become a
runaway hit.
