Description:
Archie Bunker's singularly fractured take on the political and social upheaval of the 1970s is deftly encapsulated in this three-episode videocassette of the classic sitcom All in the Family. Grouped by theme rather than chronological order, it features Archie (Carroll O'Connor) arguing in convoluted logic against gun control (he proposes to end the problem of skyjacking by arming all the passengers), trying to prevent Meathead (a.k.a. his liberal son-in-law) from mailing a critical letter to President Nixon, and attempting to get his TV fixed before the evening news--starring Archie in a man-in-the-street interview--airs. Laugh
Archie Bunker's singularly fractured take on the political and social upheaval of the 1970s is deftly encapsulated in this three-episode videocassette of the classic sitcom All in the Family.

Laughing at Archie's ridiculous bigotry is part of the fun, particularly when he tries in vain to convince an Orthodox Jewish TV repairman to fix his TV after sundown on the Sabbath. A great introduction to an enduring series. --Steve Landau
