All In The Family | The Bunkers Have Some Weird Guests | The Norman Lear Effect

[@scootergurl48]

I love when Louise reads the article, then tries to explain it to Edith.

[@michaellang7908]

This is why All in the family!! Was so ground breaking!! That’s what was going on in the swinging 70’s! Norman Lear! Why you are who you are! Genius! Best television show ever

[@tony84.]

0:32,🤣😂I love this show. Nothing like this EVER on TV. The best sitcom of all time.

[@winstonsmith3070]

The reactions by all are what makes this skit hilarious.

[@lisasmith7854]

This show is the best and I still watch it today

[@SupermanChiChi]

This show and Hogan’s heroes never get old

[@nassauguy48]

Rue McClanahan was definitely preparing for the role of Blanche Deveraux in this!

[@madbrowniac7871]

And "Vivian Harmon" on "Maude" (so to speak!😂)B.W.

[@darlenebattle2713]

She sure was... Pre-Blanche!!!

[@jenniferkaven7125]

😂😂

[@ArthurIdis-c7k]

That wasn't even a concept back in 1974. That character was developed by a different group of producers set in a different timeframe altogether. A coincidence. Yes, but nothing at the time was even in that realm of thought going forward.

[@candace830]

Love this one,wife swapping,poor innocent Edith had no idea🤣

[@gbh5912]

She should have went for it, Curtis(later neighbor frank Lorenzo) is a tiger- She would have had the best night of her life- lol

[@violinda.]

Vincent Gardenia: sold the Jeffersons his house, was a swinger with Rue McClanahan, and was the husband of Betty Garrett. He sure gets around.

[@nassauguy48]

Yes, a lot of actors and actresses had dual or even triple different roles in AITF and ABP.

[@Jiltedin2007]

He was also The Boss of WJM Television that fired The Entire Crew, but spared Ted Baxter in his infinite wisdom. This was on The Final Episode of the Mary Tyler Moore Show in 1977. Mr. Gardenia was probably employed by CBS Television since Mary Tyler Moore was on CBS.

[@4862cjc]

@@Jiltedin2007He also had a small supporting role in the film titled Where’s Poppa (starring George Segal and Ruth Gordon), which also featured Rob Reiner in a role very similar to Mike Stivic.

[@ArthurIdis-c7k]

He was in the first two ",Death Wish" movies with Charles Bronson

[@leahartlee29]

FUN FACT- Swinger guy also played Frank Lorenzo, their neighbor, whose wife was Edith's friend Irene!

[@new_yawker901]

One of my favorite episodes!!

[@finster1968]

Betty White would’ve made a great guest on this show. Maybe as another naive cousin of Edith’s. Imagine two bewildered people and a race to see who comprehends first.

[@nassauguy48]

In real life, Betty was more of a spitfire than Rue.

[@erichall8866]

Paraphrase: "Talk about us there and we'll talk about you right here waiting for you"🤣🤣🤣

[@justinnewton7366]

Rue looks so pretty

[@alexandersteinbrick9785]

Rue also played Maude’s friend in Maude

[@metrogoldwyn]

She was smokin hot even b4 Blanche

[@56077]

These shows educated me about subject matters that our parents in the day didn't tell us about swingers. I personally think my mother never knew about this matter.

[@benvad9010]

By far the most surreal episode ever.

[@TheWordMercy82]

lol I think Rue McClanahan looked like a Golden Girl when she was in elementary school XD lol

[@MsJoyce31202]

😂

[@kevinpyne5808]

I always remembered this scene.

[@Lava1964]

This is one of the rare episodes where Edith's naivete gets her into trouble.

[@cocoafemme47]

Lava1964: I agree, however, when Gloria insisted that Mike talk to Mrs Bunker about "wife swapping" because he was "the man" that made me ANGRY. Gloria was so hypocritical, claiming woman's liberation but still expected the "big, strong husband" Mike to give Mrs Bunker an explanation. Rolling my eyes at the double-standard.

[@Soundofsilence-j4d]

@@cocoafemme47 not really we all have roles to play not one should take the part male suppose to play. Problem is today lies gettin us no relation. No social skills. The wife now is yaken over male role so your doing double work

[@nolanboles8492]

I don't often like Mike's attitude, but in this case he was right. Gloria was Edith's flesh and blood, she should have been the one to tell her.

[@feliciajenkins5041]

Mr. Mushnick and Blanche are some freaks😂😂

[@1talldaddy]

to be fair everybody knew Blanche was a freak

[@randygivens8421]

Yes, the biggest kind.😂😂

[@EsterKunin-zs2dw]

I think EVERYONE loves this episode! It's soooooo funny. And Edith's face when Louise Jefferson explains the swingers to her❤😂

[@TheWalrus163]

You left out the best quote of the episode: “I don’t want no creepos, weirdos, or sexos in my house!”

[@jerryvan-hees7130]

My favorite episode.

[@UNCJerry77]

Funniest quote was at the end of the episode. Archie says I'm gonna burn my gift.😁

[@StealthMode3924]

And when he turns to Edith and shakes his finger saying “Don’t you read NO MORE MAGAZINES!” 😂😂

[@nysavvy9241]

One of my favorite episodes. Was waiting for the good part. Hillarious

[@clinthowe7629]

Oh come on! I didn’t get to see Archies reaction as he finds out he’s talking to swingers.

[@angelacarleton9575]

You'll love his reaction!

[@josephkearney9319]

Rue McClanahan was also in Maude, the spinoff to All In The Family. She was the wife of the Doctor that lived next door to Maude

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854]

Dr. Arthur Harmon. Her name was Vivian...

[@jonas2431]

She was Vivian

[@needles1987]

And Vincent Gardenia later played Frank Lorenzo.

[@1talldaddy]

this is how she got that role.

[@paulmackenzie4752]

I think edith and rose nylund wouldve been hilarious meeting each other

[@sealyoness]

Rue did look good. And I think this was one of those episodes where you hear the toilet flushing. heheheheh

[@arfriedman4577]

I was a child when this show was on. Some of it I understood when I got older. Better times in my life.

Yes. Married to character Irene Lorenzo.

try everyone tells the truth....AITF Ron Glass was brilliant..

Frank Lorenzo a swinger? I only hope Irene isn’t around to see this. 😂😂😂

A lot of the actors and actresses who appeared in AITF played two or even more different characters.

[@Jiltedin2007]

@@nassauguy48 Thank you for explaining that to me. Sort of like their live in maid Maria playing a Hospital Receptionist in an episode where Archie was admitted inside that Hospital? I was solely making a joke when posting that comment for others to laugh at.
