The hilarious landmark comedy series All In The Family returns for Season Three 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). By now, these characters have come to feel like 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 Normal Lear broke nearly every rule and taboo, but their foibles produced some of television's biggest laughs. They could also make us cry, as with the heartbreaking "Gloria, the Victim" or shock us, as with "The Bunkers & the Swingers" (1973 Emmy for Writing in a Comedy Series).
Editor's Note
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.
