I love the later scene at work when the company Doctor is checking Archie's blood-pressure and he doing good and the Doctor is like that's it just relax and think of nice thoughts like all people get along like whites and blacks and jews and all of a sudden he says Mr Bunker your blood-pressure is rising. Classic!
I love when the doctor asks a question, Archie gets upset, then literally a second afterward hes calm as he looks at the camera in silence!! 🤣😎 Now that is great acting if there ever was one.
@@kingy002 How was that writer's statement hyperbolic? It was great acting and that is not an exaggeration as you are claiming. Go watch The Brady Bunch, maybe that's more your speed.
I remember there was a scene about a minutes earlier, when Archie questions the doctor's youth, and the doctor responds by telling Archie his medical results should be "neeto gueeto." Archie then asks Edith if the doctor was talking in Latin.
They were just like my grandparents, loved this show, and the best part as a kid was that they couldn't see that they were the same as Edith and Archie.
My parents knew. Dad was very proud of the fact that he was much like Archie. Also, Mom had a reason for being submissive & was very aware of everything she did. Us kids used to think she was "dumb", but we were very wrong. In actuality, she was a very smart woman.
@@kingy002 Rightly so? Archie was never a threat to Edith. He had verbal tantrums with her and basically anyone he disagreed with. He was never threatening. Obnoxious? Often. Threatening? Never.
@@karendeaton9297 You would make a great panelist on Dr. Phil or The View. Relationships are never perfect. You take the good and hopefully the bad isn't so bad that it outweighs the good. If it does get out of it.
Depends how long it stays high alot PEOPLE have white coat syndrome or ptsd from Drs like myself and BP goes up way high longs it goes back down at home or leaving Drs office your fine.
I once got a blood pressure reading that high and the doctor looked at me like he didn't know how I could be upright, then immediately made a phone call about it. Thankfully it was from suddenly moving over to the examining table and was normal a few minutes later.
Extremely, extremely beautiful I'm not kidding.But Durn if that doesn't remind me of me. At least Archie had somebody to yell at. When you are like me and don't have anybody particular to yell at, you yell at everybody. Thank God He loves us all. Thank God He hasn't given up on anybody and never ever will. Happy New Years everybody God bless youse. Adios
"Junior here asked me a question and I don't need the help of a talking dingbat to give him an answer, stifle yourself!" Looked like "Junior" was feeling a bit sorry for Edith but he's not the first or last person to do that.
Can we get the clip of Archie commenting on news reporters analyzing a presidential address? Something like: "the news people take a half hour to tell us what the president just said in 20 minutes."
In this episode Dr. Stanley says that Archie's blood pressure is 168/95; which he describes as "normal high". 168/95 has never been considered normal high. Back in the 70s when this was filmed; the highest normal high reading was 149/80. Not 168/95. Why Norman Lear's writers would put out false information like this is beyond me. (It's actually dangerous for their audience)... The only thing I can think of is that they were too lazy or felt they were too busy to check on that detail ... But it's false. 168/95 is hypertension, not normal; always has been...
@@kingy002 "All in the Family" was a groundbreaking sitcom in the '70s, dealing with REAL-WORLD ISSUES like racism, menopause, rape ("Gloria the Victim" and the one-hour episode "Edith's 50th Birthday," when she was confronted by a gun-wielding would-be rapist), prejudiced attitudes towards certain groups of people, the IRS and the FBI, Mike's Vietnam War draft evader friend during Christmas dinner, the right to die with dignity. Yes, it was a television sitcom, but it tackled issues other TV shows wouldn't dare explore. Real-life issues, Mark.
I thought the same thing...lol. My BP is usually around 130-135 over 80-85 and it's considered borderline high and have been told by a handful of doctors that I should consider taking BP meds...whatever it takes for big pharma to make money, I guess.
Highest mine has been is 160/110. Blood pressure medication did diddly squat. I exercise 20 minutes mild cardio 4-5 days a week. No diet changes. Now I average 115-130 over 75-90. Ole Archie just needs to hit the gym or go for a nice brisk walk every day&
Probably Valium. Benzos were prescribed for HBP back in the 70's. It could be a "proper" HBP med, for instance a beta-blocker, but it was likely a GABAergic sedative.
All in the family was the best show of all time. Totally awesome.
TV magic hilarious
That and Barney Miller.
His facial expressions are priceless!!!
Your reply is worth a million dollars.
One of the funniest shows ever written ! 👍🏻
That is just one and I do repeat one of the many, countless super segments in one of the greatest sitcoms to have ever been made.
The best part is when they leave and archies overheard yelling at Edith as he says YOU HAD TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH IN THERE?? LMAO
😂😂
This scene was like a throwback to my childhood because i knew people that had similarities to him.
😂😂
All in the family at its best. One of the greatest shows on television.

He was great!! "'OHHHH AAAAWWWWCHIE" always made me crack up!!

I once mentioned Archie and my uncle replied "Your grandfather's good friend."
Yup. No mirrors in their homes.
I think we are all Archie and Edith in one way shape form or fashion
My parents knew. Dad was very proud of the fact that he was much like Archie. Also, Mom had a reason for being submissive & was very aware of everything she did. Us kids used to think she was "dumb", but we were very wrong. In actuality, she was a very smart woman.
Both times, those moments when Archie gives the doctor that look in a heartbeat after yelling....what a perfect actor Carroll O'Connor was. RIP 💯🙏
He should take Frank Costanza's advice and say, "serenity now, serenity now."
The best is after he shuts the door and yells at Edith 😂😂
No the best moments are the looks he gives the doctor after yelling. 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣👍
What would have made that part even more funny is if he walked back to peek at the Doctor with that calm face once more! 😌😆😂
in today's world, the doctor would have called the police as Archie poses a threat to Edith with his behavior
and his children, the neighbors, the people in Minnesota and Greece. OMG can't be too careful!!!

You had to open your mouth in there......!!!!!!!!
Edith: Well, only when something upsets him.
Archie: WHAT KIND OF AN ANSWER IS THAT?!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
God bless Edith
170 over 98 is not hypertension....It's stroke territory
not in those days I'm guessing, nowadays its considered stroke territory
The standards were rewritten after a dip in our population increase. These clips bring back laughter and wondering where the years went.
Grizzly Echols I've had those numbers for 20 years.
At that time your BP was figured as 100 plus your age.
Depends how long it stays high alot PEOPLE have white coat syndrome or ptsd from Drs like myself and BP goes up way high longs it goes back down at home or leaving Drs office your fine.
That doctor looks like he is still in school.
Imagine nowadays if your doctor said your blood pressure was 170 over 98. Those numbers would be considered extremely high.
It was high back then too. So was 168/95. Even back when this was filmed. Those writers didn't fact check their scripts obviously.
The doctor looks like he's young enough to still be in college!
Try high school. probably the son of one of the producers.
Greg Mabrey portrays the young doctor. According to IMDB, he was 27 when this aired, but looks a decade younger
It was the goofy 🙃 glasses 🤓
Well in the beginning of the segment he actually responds to Archie MAKING FUN OF HIS AGE BY SAYING neeto gueeto!!!!
High school for that matter poor Archie can't win!!!!!😂😂😂
Hit those kind of numbers today and they admit you to the hospital
That doctor has to be a close relative of Doogie Howser.
He doesn't even look old enough to be a dr he could pass to be a teenager
I once got a blood pressure reading that high and the doctor looked at me like he didn't know how I could be upright, then immediately made a phone call about it. Thankfully it was from suddenly moving over to the examining table and was normal a few minutes later.
Extremely, extremely beautiful
I'm not kidding.But Durn if that doesn't remind me of me. At least Archie had somebody to yell at. When you are like me and don't have anybody particular to yell at, you yell at everybody. Thank God He loves us all. Thank God He hasn't given up on anybody and never ever will. Happy New Years everybody

"Junior here asked me a question and I don't need the help of a talking dingbat to give him an answer, stifle yourself!" Looked like "Junior" was feeling a bit sorry for Edith but he's not the first or last person to do that.
Thanks for the memories.
Have a nice calm weekend Mr Bunker .
I think in an earlier scene Archie said to Edith the doctor looks 12 years old. And he kind of looks like it too.
😂😂
Can we get the clip of Archie commenting on news reporters analyzing a presidential address? Something like: "the news people take a half hour to tell us what the president just said in 20 minutes."
At least Archie s high blood pressure didnt cause Archie to hurt Edith Mike orGloria. James hypertension made him a danger to his own family.
Maybe Archie's blood pressure would go down if Meathead got a job.
Dr Junior
I'm not so sure about the doc. 170/98 is not a LITTLE high. It's high

170 over 98 is a little high? LMAO. ya if you're already dead.
1:30
He was great
With Archie Bunker's yelling and getting upset over everything, it's a wonder Archie didn't die BEFORE Edith!

@@kingy002 Stop bothering people! Good grief 🙄
170 is just a little high??? That’s like heart attack yo... you can’t maintain that.. lol
Ha ha!!!
Just think, that young doctor is probably around Archie’s age now…but something tells me he’s nothing like him lol.
Archie and Edith were only in their 40s when the show started lol, ppl sure looked older back then, I would have assumed they were early 60s lol
Doogie Houser before he got his own show.
I thought Archie was going to smack the doctor.
170 over 98 a little high.... yea!
I thought the same thing...lol. My BP is usually around 130-135 over 80-85 and it's considered borderline high and have been told by a handful of doctors that I should consider taking BP meds...whatever it takes for big pharma to make money, I guess.
Today, Archie could just smoke a doobie instead of popping those dangerous pills.
Wasn't the doctor in one of Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry movies?
maybe
Les newsman?
Legit resemblance.
170/98? You got problems
LOL!!!!
So glad I grew up when comedies were actually funny and not woke.
HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
What terrible video quality
For some reason I find myself enjoying this show. But the Archie character is so hateful.
hes an actor. carroll o'connor was an ultra liberal and completely different in "in the heat of the night"
@@teresalinton5898 Heat of the Night was one of my favorite shows. I enjoyed his character much more than Archie.
@@teresalinton5898 that’s right
The stormy care essentially smell because ice thoracically whine per a ritzy experience. damaged, five passive
“YOU HAD TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH IN THERE!!!”
Meathead had tds 50yrs ago
Archie was somethin else...No doubt!
AS always Archie is the best.
Highest mine has been is 160/110. Blood pressure medication did diddly squat. I exercise 20 minutes mild cardio 4-5 days a week. No diet changes. Now I average 115-130 over 75-90.
Ole Archie just needs to hit the gym or go for a nice brisk walk every day&
You're better off managing your BP through exercise, one less pill you have to take.
Archie calls the young doctor junior .
A 14 year old doctor 🙄
What was the prescription! Xanax?
Probably Valium. Benzos were prescribed for HBP back in the 70's. It could be a "proper" HBP med, for instance a beta-blocker, but it was likely a GABAergic sedative.
When Doogie Houser meets Archie Bunker for the first time😂😂😂😂
When i was 34, my bp was 160/86 n i knew it shoupdve been bc of an almost wreck we had idk been on bp meds since then ill b 44 next month.
Like Frank Costanza, Archie would probaly yell *_Serenity Now!_*
that's more than a little high
I have socks older than that doctor!
170/90 Is a little high?!
Archie calm? 🤣
🤣🤣
Love this show!
LMOA
6
Who wrote this episode?
BP of 170/98 is high enough to be rushed to the emergency room!
Not if it goes back down one reading you cannot just go by! Blood pressure chances all throughout the DAY
LMFAO, That was not considered very high in the 70's. This was not written today , lol.
what episode is this
"Grandpa Blues", Season 6, Episode 9
