That was a great scene. I always liked the parts of this show with Mike and Archie discussing, or arguing, about something. They almost always had very different points of view, but they always made it funny. Great writing AND great acting on this show, and that's a great combination to have! AITF was a terrific show!

My dad resembled Archie during the 1970s, but wore jeans and plaid shirts when not at work. And we lived in a rural kansas town of 200 people. I grew up watching this show when new. I was age 9 or 10 when it premiered. My family never missed an ep, it was hilarious. I loved O'Connor's show In the Heat of the Night, too. He was such a great actor he could play comedy or dramas, and different roles.

It soon became the most popular thing on television. The very first episode opened with a disclaimer: “The program you are about to see is All In The Family. It seeks to throw a humorous spotlight on our frailties, prejudices, and concerns. By making them a source of laughter, we hope to show - in a mature fashion - just how absurd they are.”
