I remember Archie, but my parents never allowed me to watch that show and I never really watched much of it in reruns. I don't even know the answer! :$

My parents never let me watch it, either; or Mash, and a few others they determined were too "worldly." [:/]

Maybe, that's the reason I'm am not consistent with the shoe-sock thing. One day it's sock-sock, the next it's sock-shoe. :D

I certainly Did cringe... when certain things would come out of his mouth !!!

Best thing it the world to do to racism is to shine the bright light of comedy on it. It's too easy to forget that we were only a few years past the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and much of the country held views similar to Archie's. Carrol O'Connor set himself up to the be the buffoon, so that the country could see how ridiculous many long held prejudices were.

sock & sock, then shoe & shoe. now do it that way for the rest of your life.



But what if there's a fire? You put on two socks and have to walk around getting wet feet because of all the water being sprayed around. I have on one sock and one shoe and can hop around on one foot and stay dry.

Wow, I'm getting old. No google or anything involved there.

All in the Family and The Jeffersons were the greatest and funniest shows ever!! The Jeffersons was an offshoot from All in the Family. Archie and George were probably the most politically incorrect characters of the 70's, but they were hysterical. :D

One of the best shows in TV history.

The episode where Sammy Davis Jr. leaves his briefcase in Archie's cab is the best.

Flip flop, flip flop for me.B|

Archie Bunker: Now, no prejudice intended, but, you know, I always check with the Bible on these here things. I think that, I mean if God had meant for us to be together, he'da put us together. But look what he done. He put you over in Africa, and put the rest of us in all the white countries.

Sammy Davis Jr.: Well, he must've told 'em where we were because somebody came and got us.

~ Years ago the wife & I were having lunch in Malibu, really nice restaurant on the beach.

On the floor under the table I see a credit card, it's a platinum American Express with the name Carroll O'Connor on it! :o

I walked over to the manager and handed it to him saying I believe Archie Bunker dropped this. :D

When we finished lunch, the manager came over saying - Mr. O'Connor wishes to express his gratitude ~ he picked up your check. B|






...we always use to joke - If only I'd found it at a Porsche dealership! ;)

How funny- we watched All in the Family and MASH together in our living room as a family- but I wasn't allowed to watch Saturday morning cartoons or have a Barbie doll!

(that said, I don't remember the shoe/ sock episode............)

How do you put on your socks and shoes?



I saw this 20 years ago and might not remember it correctly and im not going to google it so I hope its close. Great scene where Edith is explaining her charity work to Archie.

Edith: Archie I'm bringing hope to the hopeless and cheer to the cheerless!

Archie: How about you bring some beer to the beerless.

I even remember the prototype for Archie Bunker; Alf Garnett.



I had forgotten that was a remake of a UK show.
How did the UK version compare to the 'Merkun show?
