DESCRIPTION:
Norman Lear's taboo-breaking 1970s television series stars Carroll O' Connor as bigoted, working class family man Archie Bunker, whose conservative views can't help but have a big impact on his interactions with his family, which consists of his scatterbrained but saintly wife Edith (Jean Stapleton), daughter Gloria (Sally Struthers), and liberal son in-law Mike "Meathead" Stivic (Rob Reiner). A landmark in the frank, funny way it dealt with social issues and stereotypes, ALL IN THE FAMILY ran from 1971 to 1983, garnering 48 Emmy nominations, and spawning several spin-offs, including MAUDE and THE JEFFERSONS. This 3-DVD set presents all twenty-three episodes from the third season.
The hilarious landmark comedy series ALL IN THE FAMILY returns for its third season with its flawless sense of ensemble chemistry, precision timing, and lasting political relevance intact (and went on to win both the Emmy® and Golden Globe® for Outstanding Comedy Series). These characters have become television's first dysfunctional family: blue-collar conservative Archie (Carroll O'Connor), his long-suffering but loving wife Edith (Jean Stapleton), "little girl" Gloria (Sally Struthers), and her liberal husband "Meathead" Mike (Rob Reiner). Series creator Norman Lear broke nearly every rule and taboo, but the characters' foibles produced some of television's biggest laughs. They could also make us cry, in the heartbreaking "Gloria, the Victim", or shock us, in "The Bunkers & the Swingers" (1973 Emmy® for Outstanding Writing Achievement in Comedy). The model for sitcoms to come, ALL IN THE FAMILY brilliantly and intimately portrayed the American family while reflecting the social and political landscape of the '70s, leaving an indelible mark on popular culture.
