This is great!! I've never seen this before. Thank you.

Was Mr. O'Connor wearing a hair piece? If not, his hair really got thin in those few years..

HAhahaha hahaha hahaaa !

ABC really missed the boat by passing on the show not once but twice. Still a great script and nice to see the original vision. It is much better with Rob Reiner, Sally Struthers and Mike Evans. The son-in-law is much more confrontational in this one.

Yeah. There is no way in hell you could say GD on network tv in 1968. This show was so groundbreaking. I love the malapropisms. Insex in the family, Reverend Fletcher in his ivory shower, LMAO!

[WarRogers]

This Mike (Richard) isn't so bad, especially compared to the guy in the other pilot playing the same role. With a little time he might have evolved pretty well, even better than Reiner, whom I never really cared for. just my opinion.

[cingoli]

Watching this pilot, like early episodes of AITF, is very much like watching a stage play; one big set, and a lot of dialogue among the characters.

[Jeff98177]

Archie always called him "Reverend Fletcher" during the series. It's weird to hear him say it correctly.

[spacemouse1]

This show was ahead of it's time. It brought up thought provoking topics and groundbreaking themes..

[SecretTimeWarp]

I'm glad they held off the "goddammit" scene on the final show, because the set up to it was so much better - WATERGATE WATERGATE WATERGATE! :-P

[maclovindotca]

I like the Edith in this episode more, she really played off Archie 

[oldschooljamz87]

Carroll O' Connor looks so weird with a rug! I'm glad they changed the actors playing Gloria and Richard/Mike they don't have much chemistry with Archie and Edith.

Thanks for uploading, I think the quality is pretty good considering the way it was recorded and that you had to piece together so many clips.

[GOLDENFLYWARRIOR]

@oldschooljamz87 THAT'S NOT A RUG,....THAT'S HIS EARLY DYAS WITH STILL HAIR. GLAD THEY GOT SALLY & ROB TO PLAY GLORIA AND LIKE. .....THIS WAS THE BEGONNING OF A GREAT SERIES ONE OF THE BEST!!! LOVE THE ISSUES....THEY ARE ALIVE STILL...............THINGS ARE THE SAME YET WORSE. WE'RE NOW IN A POLICED NATION AND OUR RIGHTS ARE BEING LOST!!! GODDAMN THE POLITICANS AND CORRUPTION IN GOVERNMENT, AND SLAUGHTER OF ANIMALS. AMERICANS ARE IGNORANT DO DOUBT!!! BUT I LOVE AMERICANS, JUST SO BRAINWASHED.

[oldschooljamz87]

@GOLDENFLYWARRIOR

How about you calm down with the writing in all caps? Goodness, that means yelling on the internet. And yes, that was a toupee Carroll O'Connor was balding at that point if you don't believe me look at the episode of Gunsmoke he guest starred on in 67 ( a year before this was shot) and you'll see.

[khtyson1]

They deal with more what is god issue in the first pilot.

[kevinhagan17]

ARCHIE'S HAIR!!!

[Poptartfrog]

@kevinhagan17

Yea, it looks weird. It looks all right in the next pilot.

[Supertzar999]

Didn't realize there was an unaired pilot this old. Definitley a time piece as it was around the height of the Vietnam war. This cast of Mike and Gloria leaned more on the hippie side of things.

[littlebit19801]

Well Edith has more backbone here.

[LAtvFan]

3:23 Wow... I remember Archie's explanation of "Goddammit" later in the series, after it had established itself. I can't believe Norman Lear thought he could get away with it right from the start! That man had balls!

[SecretTimeWarp]

@LAtvFan LOL, I was just about to mention that! I took them a couple more seasons before they let that slip by...

[sapnyosentry]

Archie has hair?!

[LYNXVAL]

I can't believe this was in 68 and I was 11 then. I only remember it when I was in high school. Didn't know it was on that long!!

[Germtalia]

i think the kids are snotty

im glad they change them over

[dwalex97209]

I love Archie's justification and/or excuse for his use of the word "goddamn".

[johnny10301968]

Carroll O Connor's hair looks horrible in this pilot.

[swithincharottesburg]

I'm surprised they didn't keep this actor to play Mike. He reminds me a lot of Rob Reiner, but is a lot cuter! ;)

Thanks for posting this - I wasn't aware how much it was changed before Rob and Sally came along. Now I wish someone would post "Till Death do us Part"!

[Elric33239]

@swithincharottesburg I found a "Till Death Us Do Part" DVD at Barnes and Noble. It had a Christmas Special and two regular episodes on it. It was very good but a little rough-around-the-edges like this pilot was. That's why I can't understand the criticism launched against it here. Norman was fairly faithful with the concept and the characters except the son-in-law was "on-the-dole" (unemployed) instead of a college student and Alf Garnett was 1/4 Jewish which was why it was brought up here.

[Marykaycutie2]

so when did Sally Struthers and Rob Reiner join the cast?

[moviefannnnnn]

@Marykaycutie2 they joined when they did the 3rd pilot in 1971
