Jean Stapleton aka Edith Bunker RIP


Soundtrack








Meathead, Gloria, Archie and Edith


What is there to say? 
All in the Family, and later Archie's Place  were pivotal TV sitcoms in the not quite 
post-racial and post-Vietnam era in US history.

HULU has 4 episodes you can stream for free.


 Good for flashbacks, or for anyone born after say 1990 who may never have seen the show. An interesting look at Archie Bunker, "the beloved bigot", who took the role as a tongue in cheek way to point out the bigotry and double standards in 70's and 80's society, many of which persist today.
