#16527: ALL IN THE FAMILY
Order1971-01-26, CBS, min.
January 12th,1971- September 21st, 1983 (CBS) Created by Norman Lear, All In The Family was one of the most influential programs in television broadcasting history. The comedy was centered around the Bunker family living in a middle class Queens neighborhood. The show reflected the changing mores of both television and American society. The family was headed by right-wing bigoted Archie Bunker, expertly portrayed by Carrol O'Connor, Who became upset everytime his liberal left-wing son-in-law played by Rob Reiner, disagreed with him. This led Bunker to giving him the nickname "Meathead." Jean Stapleton played Bunker's wife Edith, whom Archie labeled "Dingbat" for her lack of knowledge of worldly affairs and Sally Struthers portrayed the Bunkers daughter Gloria. The four lived under the same roof until the 1978 season when Reiner and Struthers left the show. In 1979, the show was retitled "Archie Bunker's Place," moving from the Bunker family household to a bar with veteran character actor Martin Balsam joining the cast as a bartender. Stapleton left the show at the end of the 1980 season when the writers decided to kill her off. The series finally left the air in 1983.
