One of the more celebrated situation comedies of all-time, All In The Family dominated the Nielsen ratings throughout much of the 1970s. Carroll O’Connor plays the title role of Archie Bunker, the politically-incorrect head of the Bunker household. Loud and opinionated, Archie liberally dispenses his often bigoted remarks and ignorant comments from a recliner in his Queens, New York living room. Living with Archie are his loving, yet airheaded wife Edith (Jean Stapelton), progressive daughter Gloria (Sally Struthers), and ultra-liberal son-in-law Mike (Rob Reiner) who Archie regularly calls “Meathead”. As Archie’s ingrained assumptions clash with Gloria and Mike’s modern ideas, arguments break out everywhere in the Bunker household, but the inevitably the various family members come to love and respect each other for who they are
The All In The Family (Season 3) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere “Archie and the Editorial” in which Archie ardently defends his anti-gun control views on a TV editorial show, only to be held up by a pair of muggers wielding a gun when he leaves the station. The incident causes Archie to transform into a gun control advocate Other notable episodes from Season 3 include “Lionel Steps Out” in which Lionel Jefferson takes Archie’s niece out on the town (peeving Archie who believes whites and blacks don’t mix), and “Mike’s Appendix” in which Archie and Gloria fight over the credentials of female doctors when Mike is forced to have an emergency appendectomy
