All in the Family - In the Family Way [VHS] - Region 0

In "The First and Last Supper," Archie tries to escape from dining with his neighborhood's newest residents, the Jeffersons, and stoops so low as to fabricate a story about Edith twisting her ankle. When his plan falls apart, he's forced to swallow not only dinner but some disturbing food for thought--he might not be the only one harboring some racist tendencies. The episode also treats one to a classic Bunker take on evolution: "We didn't crawl out from under no rocks, we didn't have no tails, and we didn't come from monkeys, you atheistic, pinko meathead."

Closing out the collection, "The Bunkers and the Swingers" features Rue McClanahan and Vincent Gardenia as a hot-to-trot couple whom Edith invites to the house after completely missing the point of the wife-swapping ad they've placed in the back of a magazine. It's a particularly affecting episode in the way it highlights Edith's innocence ("It sounded like they needed us") and Archie's hilariously cordoned-off worldview, in which anything the least bit alien is automatically "Communism." --Bob Michaels
