About All In The Family:
One of the most acclaimed comedy series of all time, All in the Family with Archie Bunker as the irascible, highly opinionated, working-class family man who viewed the world on his terms and his terms only. When not arguing with his liberal son-in-law, "Meathead," Archie took refuge in his long-suffering wife, Edith, who tries her best to understand Archie's conservative ways and outdated beliefs.

Sammy should have gotten an Emmy for his performance.

​@@wurly164 Never heard of the Emmys' Guest Actor category? It's been around for literally decades. If the Emmys had it back in the '70's, Sammy definitely would've been a contender for it that year.

Sammy Davis Junior may he rest in peace had class and he knew how to relate to someone like Archie Without Being confrontational unlike Mike who just wanted to hear himself talk. Even Lionel had to take exception with Mike in another episode called the games people play. Mike in essence was like Maude.

I've read that this scene had to be shot twice, because the first time, the audience (and other cast members) laughed so loudly and for so long that it cut into Archie's final comment.

People have always been offended. I remember tons of people wanted this show cancelled because it went too far.

[@MrRufusRToyota]

Millions were offended at the time. The switchboards almost went down with all the calls outraged by this interracial kiss on the cheek. I remember my mother, a diehard racist who voted, like most Floridians, for George Wallace in the 1972 primaries, and who got off her deathbed to vote for Donald Trump, was one of them.

[@mnirwin5112]

There definitely would have been people who were offended by that scene. In fact, when this show was first starting out, a LOT of people were furious at it because of the way it satirized so many of the beliefs they held. But the thing is, there was no internet back then, so the connections that are made today by the easily-offended weren't so easy back then.

[@donreid6399]

After reading all the comments left to your posting, I have to agree with them. I watched these shows when they were originally broadcasted and they were HUGELY controversial at the time. You seriously need to stop thinking that people were 'less offended' back in the 70s. Remember, this was around the time that Southern states refused to broadcast an interracial kiss between Captain Kirk and lieutenant Uhura on Star Trek!

I was brought up old fashioned like them and remain so to this day. Im sad that Carroll OConnor couldnt live a longer life. Would have loved to try and meet him in person!

The nurse in the hospital episode was great Foil too

[@thomash.schwed3662]

Indeed! The postscript, of course, is “The Return of Sammy” when the format had changed to “Archie Bunker’s Place”. In that episode, Sam actually came to Archie’s defense because he had seen how much Archie, in spite of himself, had developed and, at least to a degree, mellowed out. Incidentally, this is when Archie and Stephanie turn the tables on Sam by kissing him. Whenever possible, I try to watch both episodes back to back because they complement each other so well.

[@erikbunty2016]

Maude and Lionel could be, too.

I don't deny that these others were good foils, too, but I don't think they come up to the same level as Sammy. Why? Archie had negative opinions of blacks and Jews, and Sammy Davis, Jr., was both!
