He had a small role in "Hawaii" as Julie Andrews' father and played a number of small character roles. Stapleton was a character actress on stage who played parts in a number of Broadway musicals, notably as Judy Holidays sister(?) and owner of the answering service in "Bells are Ringing," which she repeated in the film.
Archie had a cartoon face. Some of his expressions were funnier than the punchlines of the jokes. He would just narrow his eyes a certain way, and it was hilarious. Carroll O’Connor was such a gifted actor.
I recall that in AITF's first season, Stapleton's _Edith_ character -- although ditzy -- tended to be unsmiling and not as joyful (at least in the episodes I was able to catch). I'm not sure of what caused the change to what we see in the subsequent seasons, but it makes sense that a happily optimistic Edith would work as a great counterpoint to Archie's brooding displeasure.
ABC is having an Alls in the Family and the Jeffersons live reboot episode tomorrow 8-10pm on ABC tonight May 22, 2019 w Woody Harrelson, Jamie Foxx, Wanda Sykes, Marissa Tomei and others. Should be fun!

I loved this show ... I used to watch it when I lived in Canada in the 70’s ...I’m 61 now and living in Australia ... hilarious show but it’s interesting how when Edith (dingbat) passed away The character of Archie realised the precious gift she was ...very realistic 👍
And the look on his face when she asks that question is more than priceless at 01:00.... it's what made O'Connor stand out from the rest. He could say more with his facial expressions than the meathead could with two pages of anti- American dialogue!

Actually, the term, "Politically Correct" WAS a Term back then, but only in China, and the term "Politically Correct" was first used by Mao Tse Tung, the Leader of the Chinese Communist Party from 1949 until his death in 1976.
Jean Stapleton (Edith Bunker) and Carroll O'Connor (Archie Bunker) are probably the two greatest TV characters of all time. Their acting was off the charts greatness! In real life Carroll O'Connor was as liberal as you can get. Which makes his performance as Archie Bunker absolutely legendary. Now can you get me a beer---eeer---eeer?
All in The Family is the funniest tv comedy series ever produced. Every single subject was discussed and debated while making millions laugh. From the color of skin to religion, from being single to being married, from peace to war, nationalities, Muslims, Mafia, Jews, Christians and so on. This show was 30 years ahead of everything else!! Brilliantly written and fabulously acted by all members of the cast. The best comedy bar none.
In one episode, after Mike & Gloria had moved into the Jefferson house next door to Archie, the Meathead comes over wearing only a bathrobe. Archie asks him if he was moving back in or only paying a short visit in his Polish tuxedo. 😂 I swear I laughed for a f’ing week. 😂
I don't know if Donald Trump is the Archie Bunker of the 21st century. Donald would have to ACTUALLY RIDE on the New York City subway BEFORE he badmouths it. LOL
Archie was a conservative Republican. He loved Nixon and hated Carter. The show is on when I was a kid. I used to have an Archie Bunker for President T-shirt! I wish I had that shirt today.
.....he was....he just took a lot of convoluted twists and turns explaining himself with great malapropisms and wild explanations, especially when it came to the Bible....
+Mark Kalfahs: Archie Bunker was no more right than the others in their learned knowledge views of reality. 4 they all had strong points in their thinking + character personalities. However, not a damn one of them could get their differences + misunderstandings corrected. Nor do I think they Truely wanted 2, what a bore. + All but DingBat Edith, he saw so little couldn't figure out Y the Hell they were stuck in this caged in MatTrix !!!/???/...
+Marie Smith: + strange as it is, Archie, nor any other could imagine, nor do I feel would have wanted Edith any other way. 4 her stressors were few + she couldn't step outside of her safety zone. Which was a relaxing change for the others.
Great show ,me and my ex wife used to watch the show and she told me that Archie acted just like her real father, never met the man so I didn't know lmao
What’s wrong with subway farts? It’ll give you plenty of space while you play a rousing game of WTF is that? With all of the freaks getting on and off the train in the Village, it’s a fun game! ....Or is that just me who does that.....?😆
He could do it and he did do it! In the episode where Mike gives $200 to the McGovern presidential campaign, Archie gives him such a hard time about that he goes to work at a gas station on the side until he earned enough to pay Archie $200. He only makes it to $150 before fessing up that that's what he's been doing nights. So he could've done it all along, he just chose not to.
He starts talking to his daughter. _Well what's the matter with that?_ She wasn't there. He was obviously a time traveler using a bluetooth earpiece and iPhone.
This was hilarious Archie : I was pressed up against the guy and all of a sudden he started talking to his daughter bedith:,Whats wrong with that ? Archie : she wasn’t there , Archie then the bum behind me had beans for lunch . Edith : how did you know that Archie I could tell by the way he smiled the audience laughed so hard
Subways in new York.wow half the people having a bean lunch and the smell would make people gag and hold their noses and half of them when you would look at them would smile after a big ripper.
exactly brandon. the top 2 shows of all time 1- seinfeld, 2- AITF. the rest are in the dust. as much as i looooooooooooooooove Archie and this show, and i grew up with it as a kid in the 70s, and i loved it so much, that i've seen each episode probably 13x.. what a show!!.. but having said that, and as much as i love archie, nothing comes close to Seinfeld. man, what a show. there will NEVER be a show again like Seinfeld. even if we live to 200 yrs of age. 2 great written shows here, but seinfeld is in a league of its own. .although AITF was great. i loved those 4 together (edith, arch, gloria and mike).. archie is the KING though. he destroys kramer and george as tv characters.
Brandon Salvati Other than Seinfeld? You can't possibly be serious! Seinfeld was Good, but can't even come close to this. It's sort of like All in the family was the Beatles, and Seinfeld was the Stones. ..
Now that I think about it, it is sometimes funnier when something is implied rather than described bluntly. It makes you want to watch an episode two or more times because there are subtle jokes you missed the first time. It's why I used to watch 1990s episodes of The Simpsons when it was in syndication on weekdays. It was usually an episode I already seen, but it's so jam-packed with humor that I missed the first time. Nonetheless, it's difficult to think of a fart scene from any TV show that hasn't been funny.
You blew the cheese and your sister thought by the smell that her niece had taken a dump in her diaper.geez.buddy I feel so bad for you..your sister should have asked did you cut the cheese?.

Mr. O'Conner was so good at his acting he's remembered for Archie.....he was a brilliant actor in many other roles
Chief gilepsie he played the opposite of archie bunker. He also played a general in kellys heros.
He had a small role in "Hawaii" as Julie Andrews' father and played a number of small character roles. Stapleton was a character actress on stage who played parts in a number of Broadway musicals, notably as Judy Holidays sister(?) and owner of the answering service in "Bells are Ringing," which she repeated in the film.
Yes he was...
@@sroevukasroevuka Especially good as Chief Gillespie in the great old show IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT....
They were so great. Such gifted actors!
Archie had a cartoon face. Some of his expressions were funnier than the punchlines of the jokes. He would just narrow his eyes a certain way, and it was hilarious. Carroll O’Connor was such a gifted actor.
He was hands down the best actor.
The expression on Edith's face when she says how did you know that is priceless 😄
They're trying not to crack up while delivering the line
I recall that in AITF's first season, Stapleton's _Edith_ character -- although ditzy -- tended to be unsmiling and not as joyful (at least in the episodes I was able to catch).

"I Could Tell By The Way He Smiled At Me"!! A classic punch line!!
Best sitcom hands down

@Tom Evans married with children
I love All in the Family
Yes♥️😍♥️😍 Forever!😁😁😁😁
Every show was a classic...best show ever
One of the funniest most cutting edge shows ever.
I agree completely! Nothing on TV before or after it was quite like All In The Family!
Not "one of". But rather, "THE" funniest and most cutting edge show in the history of American Television.
There. I said it.

Great show. Loved Archie!
I loved this show when i was a kid.
Raymond Barrey I still love it at 57.
This was one of my favorite episodes. Another one was where Archie explained how he'd stop planes from being hijacked.
Yep!
The expression on Edith's face when she says "how did you know that?" is pure gold
All in the family is one of my favorite shows to still today

Nancy Hey
Where did you come up with that theory?
Best Sitcom of all time
I loved this show
This show and many others of the 70's had folks laughing in tears!😂
The greatest television comedy ever.
NewYork must be the only city in the world with a skid row that moves all over town! Archie’s opinion of the subway.
Bobby Lee...oh hell yes! Great description of the New York subways!
The bum behind me had beans for lunch.
How did you know that?
I about pissed my pants laughing 😅
He was brilliant
You tell them Archie, political correctness was not even a word when this was filmed.
You speak the truth.
YOU ARE RIGHT AND IT WAS VERY FUNNY WE ALL LOVED THE SHOW.

Can you imagine the people now days watching "All in the Family and the Jeffersons"....
They would have a cow!!! 😂😂😂
Love this show. Very popular in my family. Meathead was always the inept son in law in Archie's eyes.
All in the family and married with children best sitcoms ever 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Damn I needed a good laugh right now and I'll be damned if this didn't do it 😂 My hero Archie Bunker
"How did you know that"?????
You just gotta love Edith.....
Edith looked like she wanted to laugh when Archie said the bum behind me had beans for lunch. 🤪🤪🤪
Edith Dingbat Bunker nearly lost it trying to stifle a laugh.
This was the funniest show ever!
Thanks for the videos 🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🐯🐯
Love him!!!
The lady that played Edith did a great job.Of course in real life she was no ding bat
Her name was Jean Stapleton, and she was a phenomenal actress and a great singer as well.

She played Miles Silverbergs nana Silverberg on Murphy Brown.

Archie: "I can tell by the way he smiled at me!"
His face though 😂
“If its gotta go, its gotta go. Why hang onto something thats useless?”
“Thats what I been asking you ever since you married him.”
I love it!! I love it!!
Solid Gold

Archie should have run for President when he had the chance.
There used to be bumper stickers all over the country in the 70s, ARCHIE BUNKER FOR PRESIDENT! I kid you not!!
Trump beat him to it
garylobo3 I remember seeing t-shirts with that slogan
In an enclosed space such as a subway, i can see how that would be something to contend with.
😂😂😂 This truly was the most entertaining and wonderful sitcom ever❤❤❤❤
The happiest one smiling is usually the the one who did it
Where is my time machine good old days
At the end of this episode Archie paid for meatheads operation
Well....he's the only meathead ya got..(touching moment)*
Solid gold
If you need tips on riding the subway in NYC ask Archie bunker.
Did Archie ever have a good work day? 🤣
I love it when Archie says “I got a seat on the subway ten years ago when it caught fire and everybody run like hell”. That’s in another episode lol
Those were the days..............................
she wasn't there.... ha ha ha... how did you know that,... LMAO
In one episode, after Mike & Gloria had moved into the Jefferson house next door to Archie, the Meathead comes over wearing only a bathrobe. Archie asks him if he was moving back in or only paying a short visit in his Polish tuxedo. 😂
I swear I laughed for a f’ing week. 😂
I can tell by his smile.
Hilarious!!!!
Trump is the Archie of the 21st century . If Archie was around today he would be wearing a MAGA hat and supporting T 100%
Really? I always saw Archie as a Bernie fan.
Albert Elnen yeah well that’s just like your opinion man
Charles Steenburgen I don’t think it would be an insult.
I don't know if Donald Trump is the Archie Bunker of the 21st century. Donald would have to ACTUALLY RIDE on the New York City subway BEFORE he badmouths it. LOL
Archie was a conservative Republican. He loved Nixon and hated Carter. The show is on when I was a kid. I used to have an Archie Bunker for President T-shirt! I wish I had that shirt today.
She fell right into that one.
God bless Edith 😊.

Quite like his British counterpart, Alf Garnett.

I agree with you ... but damm he would tear you apart with your hair cut and Sesame Street videos
Jean Stapleton was a wonderful actress very underrated
Oh my she almost lost it!!
Archie " the bum behind me had beans for lunch
Edith " how did you know that ? 🤣🤣🤣
Your title alone has me laughing
Cheers! (subscribed)
Edith is the best wife and mother.
The bum behind me had beans for lunch. ROFLMAO. 🤣🤣🤣🤣💩💩💩💩💣💣💣💣💥💥💥💥. Fire in the hole, lol.
Great show ,me and my ex wife used to watch the show and she told me that Archie acted just like her real father, never met the man so I didn't know lmao
It was the male attitude of the generation. My Dad was Archie Bunker. Many of my friends told me that THEIR Dads were Archie Bunker.
My Maternal Grand Mother was Archie Bunker.
batmanmmv good for those guys. It would’ve been a nightmare if they were like Meathead
@Michael Harley What testicles??? Mike didn't ever grow a pair!
Very funny episode.
Silent But Deadly 💨🤧
Carroll O’Connor was the best
bahaaaaaat!!!
"She wasn't there." LOLOLOLOL
im sure he let a few farts himself
This to all the digebats that gave a thumbs down very funny clip from a classic tv show.
Somethings never change, ...meathead is still a meathead, but now worse.
Why hang on to something thats useless?Thats what I've been asking you ever since you married him,Archie had some great quotes
He had gastriasis!
How's your Aspen
Gloria's hairdo looks like she stepped out of 2020 and not 1972.
What’s wrong with subway farts? It’ll give you plenty of space while you play a rousing game of WTF is that? With all of the freaks getting on and off the train in the Village, it’s a fun game! ....Or is that just me who does that.....?😆
Beans the magical fruit
How did you know that Archie!?😂
What I never understood was why Mike couldn't work AND go to school? Why couldn't he go part time?
Because there wouldn't be a show if Meathead was at school then work
More time to study when you don't have to work.
Cause he's dead from the neck up.
Dean Vass I agree!!!!
He could do it and he did do it!

Always so innocent.
2:10 🤣
Funny scene, especially Edith's "How did you know that" ... but what's been edited out here when Mike sits on the sofa? There's clearly a cut there.
Edited for continuity on the appendix topic... I wasn't going to upload the entire episode.
@@batmanmmv Fair enough. As it is, episodes from this show get deleted from RUclips sooner or later anyway by the studio/owner.
I bet Archie cracked a few off in the subway from time to time
How do you know it was beans it could have been cabbage or tacos
Oh OK, I seeee.. I thought you meant farts as a result of eating at Subway. lol
Subway didn't exist back then.
Sometimes Edith had air between her ears, let's face it. Many times she was the smartest of the buch. Especially when she put Archie in his place.
other than seinfeld best sitcom ever written

Never saw anything funny on Seinfeld.
Yeah, both are great shows! Two of my all-time favorites among TV comedies.
Mike is pure moocher.
It would have been funnier if he said farted. I think the word fart was banned at the time this episode was first "aired."
It is funnier when it is not said. That was a key element of older comedy.
Now that I think about it, it is sometimes funnier when something is implied rather than described bluntly. It makes you want to watch an episode two or more times because there are subtle jokes you missed the first time. It's why I used to watch 1990s episodes of The Simpsons when it was in syndication on weekdays.
