Trivia:

Three pilots were shot, the first under the title "Justice for All", the second under the title "Those Were the Days", and the third as "All in the Family". Different actors played the roles of Mike, Gloria, and Lionel in the first two. The family name was Justice, not Bunker. Meathead was called Dickie, not Michael, and he was originally Irish-American, not Polish-American.

Goofs:

Continuity: From the inside, reading backwards, we see "Kelcy's Bar". In most, but not all episodes, the ending credits spell the name of the Brendon T. Dillon or Bob Hastings character as "Kelsey", not "Kelcy".

Quotes:

Archie Bunker: Wait, you can't escape me in the toilet. Hey, don't do nothing yet. If I was the last man on Earth and you was the last woman, I would go to bed with a bush.

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.
