Description:
Armchair commentators may prefer to forever seal up the character of Edith Bunker within the Dingbat nutshell, but the real All in the Family aficionado will realize this is not the case. As was true for all of the principal players, the character of Edith was about evolution beyond that easy archetype. Here as testimony to that journey are three stepping-stone episodes toward Dingbat's Liberation, the first and third episodes being more obvious instances of Edith's rebellion.

Armchair commentators may prefer to forever seal up the character of Edith Bunker within the Dingbat nutshell, but the real All in the Family aficionado will realize this is not the case. As was true for all of the principal players, the character of Edith was about evolution beyond that easy archetype. Here as testimony to that journey are three stepping-stone episodes toward Dingbat's Liberation, the first and third episodes being more obvious instances of Edith's rebellion. In "The Threat," a combination of Archie's lust and big mouth cause the often-mousy Edith to throw the bombshell wife of Archie's buddy out of the house. In "Archie Goes Too Far," the Bunker doyenne demands an apology from Archie and lets loose at Gloria's friend's slumber party. While featuring the least onscreen time, "Archie the Hero" is perhaps the most important of the three episodes presented here, in that it serves to introduce Beverly LaSalle, the transsexual character whose ultimate fate brings about "Edith's Crisis of Faith," an episode unfortunately unavailable on tape. --Bob Michaels
