Summary: 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,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 stories revolved around many controversial topics including, rape, sex, homosexuality, death, and other topics that were relevant to the 1970's, especially political strife and inflation. Archie Bunker was probably the first character in a situation comedy to use racist remarks referring to blacks and other minorities, yet another first for television.Other frequent cast members include, the black neighbors, the Jeffersons, who got their own series, The Jeffersons in 1975. The Lorenzos were also neighbors. In 1975, Gloria had a son, Joey, and three years later in 1978, Gloria, Mike and Joey moved away to California, leaving Edith and Archie alone. Not for long, however. Soon they took in a niece, Stephanie Mills, who had been abandoned by her father.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.CBS Broadcast HistoryJan 1971-Jul 1971 Tuesdays 9:30 p.m.

First of all, let me just note that I'm glad to see that this seventh season of All In The Family was released at all after such a long wait (and production company shift) since season six. Though this season lacked the comedic bite of the first 4-5, it still is worthwhile to take a look at.First of all, let me just note that I'm glad to see that this seventh season of All In The Family was released at all after such a long wait (and production company shift) since season six. Though this season lacked the comedic bite of the first 4-5, it still is worthwhile to take a look at.

The major shift in this seventh season is a (general) move away from the heated Archie/Meathead political "debates" and towards more societal/family matters, such as grandson Joey, women's liberation, and even Archie and Edith's sex life. I have to give kudos to Norman Lear for doing this, as he realized that using the "same old rhetoric" just wouldn't work.

Here's the problem: those societal issues just aren't as funny as the political stuff. Archie vs. Mike was the stuff of legend, while the more personal topics are interesting, but don't provide that laugh-out-loud punch. At times it is there, but those moments are much too few and far between.

I liken it to "The Office" in terms of quality. The first 4-5 seasons of that show were pure hilarity, a sixth was spotty, and (beginning with the seventh) it started to lose its gold standard. That is almost EXACTLY the pattern of this show as well.

However, it did not decrease to a point where I won't be purchasing the eighth go-'round early next year or anything like that. I'll still be around to watch the Bunker/Stivic hilarity.… Expand
