Goofs:

Continuity: The house in the opening credits (that is presumably supposed to be Archie and Edith Bunker's house) does not come anywhere near matching the studio sets that represent the house in the show. For example, window placement and size is completely wrong, and the sets depict the house as having a large front porch whereas, the house in the credits has only a small stoop.

Quotes:

Stephanie Mills: I'd like to go to the John.
Edith Bunker: We're going to the John.
Archie Bunker: I heard.
[to Floyd]
Archie Bunker: "John"? Couldn't you have taught her to say "toilet" like educated people?
Floyd Mills: I try the best I can.
Archie Bunker: Well you failed.

Movie Connections:

Referenced in "Saved by the Bell: Breaking Up Is Hard to Undo (#2.17)" (1990)

Soundtrack:

Those Were the Days

It was just funny.

I was a child when this show was popular,so the political and bold racial humor it was laced with really didn't receive much attention from me.To me,Archie Bunker was just a funny guy.His back and forth with his son-in-law were funny to me,though some of their battles did get quite serious.I saw Archie as funny in those days,but today I see that though he might have appeared to be a bigot,he was so because of the way he was raised and he really did care deep down about people in general.I also was madly in love with Gloria,but that's a personal story that I won't get into.Overall,this was a funny,thought provoking show.
