Premise

The comedy revolves around Archie Bunker (Carroll O'Connor), a working-grade World War II veteran. He is an outspoken bigot, seemingly prejudiced against anybody who is non a U.S.-born, politically bourgeois, heterosexual White Anglo-Saxon Protestant male, and dismissive of anyone non in agreement with his view of the world. His ignorance and stubbornness tend to cause his malapropism-filled arguments to cocky-destruct. He often responds to uncomfortable truths by blowing a raspberry. He longs for simpler times when people sharing his viewpoint were in accuse, every bit evidenced by the nostalgic theme song "Those Were the Days," the show's original championship. Despite his bigotry, he is portrayed every bit lovable and decent, likewise as a human who is but struggling to adapt to the changes in the world, rather than someone motivated past mean racism or prejudice.

By contrast, Archie's wife, Edith (Jean Stapleton), is a sweet and agreement, if somewhat naive, woman. She usually defers to her husband. On the rare occasions when Edith takes a stand, she proves to exist one of the wisest characters, equally evidenced in the episodes "The Battle of the Calendar month" and "The Games Bunkers Play". Archie often tells her to "stifle" herself and calls her a "dingbat".^[six] Despite their different personalities they honey each other deeply.

They accept 1 child, Gloria (Sally Struthers), who is married to college student (and somewhen professor) Michael Stivic (Rob Reiner). "Michael" is referred to as "Meathead" by Archie and "Mike" by nearly everyone else. Mike is a chip of a hippie, and his morality is informed by the liberal counterculture of the 1960s. He and Archie represent the existent-life clash between the then-called "greatest generation" who fought in Globe State of war II and the post Earth War Two "baby boomers". They constantly clash over religious, political, social, and personal bug. For much of the series, the Stivics live in the Bunkers' home to save money, providing fifty-fifty more opportunity for the 2 men to irritate each other. When Mike finally finishes graduate school and the Stivics move out, information technology turns out to be to the firm next door. The firm was offered to them by George Jefferson, the Bunkers' old neighbour, who knows information technology will irritate Archie. In add-on to calling him "Meathead", Archie also frequently cites Mike's Polish ancestry, referring to him equally a "dumb Polack".

The show is set up in the Astoria section of Queens, one of New York City's v boroughs, with the vast bulk of scenes taking place in the Bunkers' dwelling house (and later, frequently, the Stivics' home). Occasional scenes take identify in other locations, near oftentimes (specially during afterwards seasons) Kelcy's Bar, a neighborhood tavern where Archie spends a practiced deal of time and which he somewhen buys.

Cast

Primary characters

• Carroll O'Connor as Archie Bunker. Oftentimes chosen a "lovable bigot", Archie was an assertively prejudiced blue-collar worker. Old child thespian Mickey Rooney was Lear'south first choice to play Archie but Rooney declined the offer considering of the stiff potential for controversy and, in Rooney'due south stance, a poor chance for success.

• Jean Stapleton as Edith Bunker, née Baines. Stapleton remained with the show all through the original series run but decided to get out before the first flavor of Archie Bunker'south Place had wrapped upwardly. At that point Edith was written out as having suffered a stroke and died off-camera, leaving Archie to deal with the death of his dearest "dingbat". Stapleton appeared in all but four episodes of All In The Family and had a recurring role during the commencement flavor of Archie Bunker's Place.

Penny Marshall (Reiner'south wife, whom he married in Apr 1971, before long after the programme began) was also considered for the role of Gloria. During the earlier seasons of the bear witness, Struthers was known to be discontented with how static her office was, often coming off equally irritating and having but a few token lines. As the series connected Gloria's character became more than developed, satisfying Struthers.^[7] Struthers appeared in 157 of the 202 episodes during the first 8 seasons—from Jan 12, 1971 to March 19, 1978.

• Rob Reiner as Michael Stivic. Gloria'southward Polish-American hippie husband was function of the counterculture of the 1960s. He constantly sparred with Archie (in the original pilot, the character "Michael" was Irish-American). Michael'due south character was, in many ways, every bit stubborn equally Archie, even though his moral views were by and large presented as being more ethical and his logic somewhat sounder. Though this was true, he was generally portrayed in a more negative light than Archie; Archie was portrayed in a more than sympathetic sense, while Michael was portrayed every bit loudmouthed and at times, enervating. He consistently tried to evidence himself correct (as evidenced in the episode "The Games Bunkers Play") and seemed desperate to convince people that his way was the correct way to go all the fourth dimension, even more Archie, who gave upwards giving advice near his way when there was no point. This would occasionally, if not often, finish him up in conflict with his friends and wife. For his bullheadedness, Stivic was sometimes criticized for beingness an elitist. He also struggled with assumptions of male person superiority. He spoke of believing in female equality, merely often tried to control Gloria'south decisions and desires in terms of traditional gender roles. While Archie was a representation of right-wing bigotry and demonstrated the lion's share of the hypocrisy, Michael, on many occasions, showed his ain. As discussed in All in the Family unit retrospectives, Richard Dreyfuss sought the part just Norman Lear was convinced to bandage Reiner. Reiner appeared in 174 of the 202 episodes of the series during the beginning eight seasons—from January 12, 1971 to March 19, 1978.

Production

Lear bought the rights to Till Decease United states Exercise Part and incorporated his own family experiences with his male parent into the show. Lear'due south father would tell Lear'south female parent to "stifle herself" and she would tell Lear's father "you are the laziest white man I ever saw" (two "Archieisms" that found their way onto the show). Three unlike pilots were shot for the series. Justice For All (1968) was shot in New York, and named in reference to Archie's family unit name (later changed to Bunker), while Those Were The Days (1969) was made in Hollywood. Unlike actors played the roles of Mike, Gloria, and Lionel in the first ii.

Lear initially wanted to shoot in black and white. While CBS insisted on colour, Lear had the set furnished in rather neutral tones, keeping everything relatively devoid of colour. As wardrobe designer Rita Riggs described in her 2001 Archives of American Television interview, Lear's idea was to create the feeling of sepia tones, in an attempt to brand viewers feel as if they were looking at an old family unit album.

All In The Family was the first major American series to be videotaped in front of a live studio audience. In the 1960s, most sitcoms had been filmed in the unmarried-camera format without audiences, with a express mirth track simulating audience response. Lear employed the Multi-camera format of shooting in front end of an audience, but used record, whereas previous multi-camera shows like Mary Tyler Moore had used film. Thanks to the success of All in the Family, videotaping sitcoms in front end of an audience became common format for the genre during the 1970s. The utilize of videotape besides gave All in the Family the look and feel of early alive television, including the original alive broadcasts of The Honeymooners , to which All in the Family is sometimes compared.

For the show'south terminal season, the practise of being taped earlier a alive audience changed to playing the already taped and edited evidence to an audience and recording their laughter to add to the original sound track. Thus, the voice-over during the end credits was changed from Rob Reiner's "All in the Family unit was recorded on tape earlier a live audition" to Carroll O'Connor'due south "All in the Family was played to a studio audience for live responses". (Typically, the audience would exist gathered for a taping of One Day at a Fourth dimension and get to run across All in the Family as a bonus.) Throughout its run, Norman Lear took pride in the fact that canned laughter was never used (mentioning this on many occasions) - the audience laughter heard in the episodes was genuine.

Theme song

The serial' opening theme song "Those Were the Days",^[10] written by Lee Adams (lyrics) and Charles Strouse (music), was presented in a unique way for a 1970s serial: Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton seated at a console or spinet piano (played past Stapleton) and singing the tune on-photographic camera at the kickoff of every episode, concluding with live-audience adulation. (The song dates back to the very first Justice for All pilot, although on that occasion O'Connor and Stapleton performed the song off-photographic camera and at a faster tempo than the series version.) Several different performances were recorded over the run of the series, including one version that includes additional lyrics. The song is a simple, pentatonic tune (that can exist played exclusively with black keys on a piano) in which Archie and Edith wax cornball for the simpler days of yesteryear. A longer version of the song was released as a single on Atlantic Records, reaching No. thirty on the Billboard Adult Contemporary nautical chart early in 1972; the boosted lyrics in this longer version lend the vocal a greater sense of sadness, and make poignant reference to social changes taking place in the 1960s and early 1970s. A few perceptible drifts can exist observed when listening to each version chronologically: In the original version, Jean Stapleton was wearing glasses, and afterwards the kickoff time the lyric "those were the days" was sung over the tonic (root chord of the song's key) the pianoforte strikes a Dominant 7th chord in transition to the side by side part, which is absent from subsequent versions; Jean Stapleton's screeching high note on the line "And you knew who you WEEERRE then" became louder, longer, and more than comical, although it was but in the original version that audience laughter was heard in response to her rendition of the annotation; Carroll O'Connor'south pronunciation of "welfare state" gained more than of Archie's trademark enunciation, and the endmost lyrics (especially "Gee, our quondam LaSalle ran nifty") were sung with increasingly deliberate articulation, as viewers had initially complained that they could not understand the words. Likewise in the original version: the photographic camera angle was shot slightly from the right side of the talent as opposed to the direct on angle of the next version.

Setting and location

Lear and his writers fix the series in the Queens neighborhood of Astoria. The address of the Bunkers' house at 704 Hauser Street was completely fictitious (no Hauser Street exists in Queens) and factually incorrect with the way address numbers are assigned in Queens (they are all hyphenated, beginning with a cake number representing the nearest preceding cross-street, keeping in line with Queens' predominantly numerical street-naming arrangement). Nevertheless, many episodes revealed that the Bunkers lived near the actual major eastward-west thoroughfare Northern Boulevard , where Kelcy's Bar and later Archie Bunker'south Place were located.

The façade of a house shown during the show's opening credits is actually located in Glendale, Queens... at 89-lxx Cooper Avenue (Template:Coord).

Many existent-life Queens institutions are mentioned throughout the series. Carroll O'Connor, a real life Queens native from Woods Hills, said in an interview with the Archive of American Goggle box that he suggested to the writers many of the locations to give the series actuality. For example information technology is revealed that Archie attended Flushing High School, a existent loftier school located in Flushing, Queens (although in the "Human Of The Year" episode of ''Archie Bunker's Place'', it is revealed that Archie attended Bryant High School in Long Island Metropolis, graduating in 1940), while Edith mentioned several times throughout the series that she shops at Gertz Section store, a and so-existing department store located in Jamaica and Flushing, Queens. Additionally, the 1976 episode "The Baby Competition" deals with Archie entering baby Joey in a "cutest baby" contest sponsored by the Flushing Tribune, a and so-operating local paper (now known as the Queens Tribune).

Throughout the series, the writers of All in the Family unit continued to have the Bunkers (equally well equally other characters) use telephone commutation names when stating telephone numbers, at a time when AT&T was earnestly trying to discontinue their use (most other TV series at the time, such every bit The Mary Tyler Moore Show, used a standard "555" to brainstorm a phone number). At dissimilar times throughout the series, the phone exchanges Ravenswood (RA#) and Bayside (BA#) were used for the Bunkers' telephone number. Both exchanges were, and even so are, applicable names for phone numbers in the neighborhoods of Astoria and Bayside. This may have had to practise with the fact that at the time many major cities in the The states, such equally New York, were resisting the dropping of phone exchange names in favor of all-number dialing, and were still printing their telephone books with exchange names. This fact is referred to in the 1979 episode "The Appendectomy", when Edith, while dialing a telephone number, uses the Parkview exchange proper name only to right herself past saying that she keeps forgetting that it's all number dialing now. However, she comes to the determination that the number is exactly the same either way.
