Notoriously, the first toilet flush in American prime time television was heard on this show.
An ongoing gag is Edith's incompetent singing. In actuality, Jean Stapleton was a professionally trained and accomplished singer who had performed in musical theatre and productions throughout her career.
Carroll O'Connor was living in Italy when he was offered the role of Archie Bunker. He accepted the role only on the condition that the producers would pay for his flight back to Italy if the pilot was not picked up.
Of the show's spin-offs, The Jeffersons (1975) was the longest running, airing for 11 seasons, two more seasons than "All In The Family" lasted. "The Jeffersons" ended in a similar fashion as "Archie Bunker's Place"; the network making the decision to abruptly cancelling each series without informing the actors, which in both cases caused a lot of bitterness from the cast and crew and a general feeling of unfairness in the industry. "The Jeffersons" was at a ratings nadir, but with "Archie Bunker's Place", the cancelation possibly resulted from the network punishing Norman Lear and Carroll O'Connor, who regularly engaged in confrontations with CBS over salary and censorship issues for so many years, but the network was unable to muscle them out while the show's ratings were still respectable. Once the ratings fell into a prolonged slump, however (the first three seasons were consistent, but season four slipped considerably, but still better than the Jeffersons' final season), CBS was finally in a position to throw their weight around.
Archie and Edith's easy-chairs are now on display at the Smithsonian.
