@@BlueOsito There was in Archie too. Remember when he faced down the KKK trying to target Mike? "Feets, do your stuff!" 😀But yes, ribs and bacon are two dietary no-nos that I love! Lionel had good taste👅
My favorite show ever!! I watched it back in the day, followed by The Jeffersons. (Awesome spinoff!) I love how Lionel enjoyed trolling Archie and didn't sweat ever, lol.
So that's less then 90 dollars a month for a mortgage? In new York even? Damn, I know this was back in the day but I didn't think inflation came that hard over the years
Oh dude...inflation has been HORRIBLE since the mid 1970's! You have to remember, this was New York, yes. But a suburb in QUEENS which was the low rent district. Not Manhattan. But yes, my own parents mortgage where I grew up less than an hour outside of NYC was $78 a month on a 20 year mortgage. When I built my own house in 2003, my payments were $1,200 a month on a 30 year mortgage! Same size house in the same state! This was from 1971. Here are some fun facts for you. The cost of a new Cadillac Fleetwood (which was the top of the line) in 1971 was $7,700. That's $54,000 in todays dollars. The cost of a new Cadillac Escalade (their current flagship model) $80K to $105K depending on options! A gallon of gas then? 36 cents a gallon which is $2.52 in todays dollars. I need not tell you the current price of gas. A gallon of milk in 1971? 50 cents which is about $3.50 today. A gallon of milk today? $4.59 for the store brand. Name brands are more of course! I should also point out that in Archie Bunker's day, one salary was enough to support a spouse and a kid(s). Today, middle class families usually have both spouses working, sometimes more than one job to make ends meet. Think we were better off THEN? Or NOW?
Lol imagine a group of neighbors so concerned about black folks living in their neighborhood they'd donate several hundred or possibly a grand a piece to try to avoid them living there.
Archie was never as racist as he was brought up to be! He obviously liked Lionel and Stretch Cunningham was one of his best friends and he had no idea he was Jewish ! 😜

@@sbella6719 Archie didn't want crime rates to go up in his neighborhood and property values to go down in his neighborhood. Can you really blame him for that? Can you really blame him for wanting to protect his own investment?

What's funny... this video What's funnier is the fact that this has over 1000 views but only 11 likes. This kind of tells me that people are afraid to talk about the fact that this may offend people.. people who are getting offended by this have absolutely no sense of humor. People who are getting offended by this are the same people that are ruining TV right now( Looney Tunes Peter Pan Dumbo..etc) This is a TV show people it's not the expressions or feelings of people in real life, get a clue people and have a sense of humor If there was a show that was poking fun at white people I would probably laugh along with it, but that's the difference between you and I, I have a sense of humor and I'm not sensitive white , You people are, and for what I have no idea &I don't understand why you have to attack sitcoms and movies. To me, that's insensitive....you can't tell ppl what should be on for them to watch. And it's all because you people ( that's right I said it and I don't care) are so insensitive you have to take offense
Really? So you're offended because people watched the video and didn't click like? And you concluded it's because they're offended by the video? Just enjoy the video and stop looking for reasons to be offended. Please and thank you!
@@sammavacaist The show's first run (as I have heard the story) didn't actually do all that well.

Archie...🤔...the original Equal Opportunity Offender...😅😂🤣
All In The Family could not be on today but man this show was Hilarious. The way Lionel messed with Archie was gold
IKR! I'm so happy I grew up watching comedy like this
Hate to say it, but MUCH of America still think this way. And that DEF includes the Liberals.

Lionel was a genius in how he handled Archie.
It's what got me hooked on the show originally

Carroll O'Connor's facial expressions are just golden😀

RiP Brother Mike Evans alias Lionel Jefferson
Seeing this show made me really thought that Carroll O'Connor was really racist in real life, that's how great an actor he is.
Mike Evans "played sardonic" perfectly. Pretending to agree is the perfect take-down.
My goodness, this show is a riot! Very clever scripts, intelligent comedy and the acting magnificent.
Lionel is so good!
