All in the Family - Edith's Conversion Part 1 of 3

[SeanMBryans]

Any show in which Edith is the main focal point is not only hilarious - but was inevitably gonna be a classic. This one is just one of many. Two others that come to mind are when Edith avoids being raped and when her friend Beverly LaSalle (Lori Shannon/Don Seyour McLean), a female-impersonator who Archie had saved in an earlier episode, and Archie had tried to use to trick a friend, is murdered for being gay. Being gay it not only made me cry - but made me more cautious of my surroundings.

@SeanMBryans

It is my understand that Beverly LaSalle was not gay. Like the episode pointed out, most transvestites are heterosexual. I thought that he was in the majority in this situation. But maybe I am wrong.

[Davetacular45]

"Hold your horses," man this show was brilliant, not just for its socio-political significance, but just in good comedic writing as well.

[Davetacular45]

Horse meat? What the, even the meathead was against that one.

[Smartboy8877]

@Davetacular45

According to this episode, it was illegal in New York State, but legal in New Jersey at the time it was made. I wonder if that was accurate at the time and what the laws are like now. In any event, I have never eaten horse meat and I am not sure if I could ever be talked into it.

"head guy cant make no mistakes...like hes whaddya call it "inflammable" LMAO!

[StanMichael313]

mother superiority lmaoooo

[hulkster46a]

I liked Hughes when he played the dad in The Lost Boys. But I remember when he was Mr. Merlin. lol Great memories. lol

[stormcloud1968]

jfab, you really need a history lesson my friend

[TravisDrago]

hey hey hold your horses there

[truvianni]

Just calling the pope holy is a sin. The bible says that the word holy can only be used about God and nobody or nothing else

[jfabproductions]

@truvianni what if a part of God is in the pope?

[truvianni]

@jfabproductions they say a part of god is in every man or so did Jesus claim but contrary to what ignorant Catholics believe the Catholic church was not the first Chrisian church nor was Peter the first pope. Some historians even argue that Peter never even made it to Rome.

[truvianni]

It is funny how when it comes to really being open minded about new ideas; Michael is just as narrow minded as his stepfather

[Sydplayson]

I love Gloria to death but if she would have served me horsemeat without telling me, I would'a bitchslapped her good!

[nate93510]

The Catholic church is the best religon on earth

[BlameRepublicans]

Reject religion - it's trash, embrace Science which is the only thing that works.

[Brdj010]

@BlameRepublicans Science does not disprove God. All that science had to start somewhere, this world could not come out of nothing.

[BlameRepublicans]

"Science does not disprove god" No shit Sherlock – allow me to educate you - Science 101; it disproves nothing. Science is merely a tool we use to validate theories. Since Science does not claim the world "came from nothing" - you display your pitiful ignorance on the subject. You must have been educated in US public schools, probably in a "red state". LOL.

[bgentlekind]

Thank you very much for posting this episode. It is my favourite. I think Edith was portrayed to be a very sympathic and loving person. Never said an unkind word about anyone, especially Archie. She was unique. Thank you again.

[Brdj010]

Funny that Carrol O'Connor was a catholic in real life.

[BlameRepublicans]

@Brdj010 And a far left Liberal one to boot!

[Brdj010]

@BlameRepublicans How old are you?

[BlameRepublicans]

@Brdj010 Old enough to no longer believe in a sky-daddy who requires my prayers. You?

[TrentH190]

what a baby mike is, eat the fucking meat and enjoy yourself

[TheDudeYouHateToMeet]

In my opinion, eating horse is just the same as eating dog or cat.

[ccheng21]

@TheDudeYouHateToMeet whats wrong with eating dog or cat? you eat chickens, pigs, cows, lamb, fish and many many many different to eat other forms of life that cant even run away: plants

[TheDudeYouHateToMeet]

@ccheng21 up yours

[ccheng21]

@TheDudeYouHateToMeet ad hominem

[TheDudeYouHateToMeet]

@ccheng21 same to you

[BlameRepublicans]

@TheDudeYouHateToMeet You are pretty fucking stupid, aren't you? LOL. Don't answer - we all know you are. Moron.

[TheDudeYouHateToMeet]

@BlameRepublicans You're still on about this? lol loser

[BlameRepublicans]

Way to read dip-shit. Excluding my response here the last post I made to this video was 2 weeks ago. If your mother and father divorced - would they still be siblings? Lol inbred turd that you are.

[TheDudeYouHateToMeet]

@BlameRepublicans Oh wow, way to be mature.

[BlameRepublicans]

@TheDudeYouHateToMeet NO it's not. Horse tastes much better than dog or cat. I've eaten all 3.

[Brdj010]

@BlameRepublicans BTW troll, The teachings of Jesus was not based on violence and hatred like Hitler imposed. People like that are not real christians.

[BlameRepublicans]

Google the phrase "No true Scotsman" and you'll read how your fallacy falls apart. It is an HISTORIC FACT ("Facts" are things you snake handling fox news watching christians don't really like) that Hitler was a christian. The Holocaust was a christian campaign. YOUR filthy cult is responsible for it. Sorry - deal with it, idiot.

[Brdj010]

@BlameRepublicans Communism has been responsible for more deaths than any other past type of government.

[BlameRepublicans]

I'm not a communist but would bet every penny I own that more people died in the name of god than any other. Remember my simple little bumpkin - Science flies you to the moon, religion flies you into the World Trade Center. LOL.

[Brdj010]

@BlameRepublicans You don't know where I live or what I do fool. Communism has killed more people than any other type of government. That is historical FACT. Idiot.

[truvianni]

@BlameRepublicans actually Stalin alone killed about 50 million of his own people and some believe that Mao even killed more during the so called "Cultural Revolution" than Stalin did

[BlameRepublicans]

So you can point to a quote, or something from books written by Stalin or Mao that clearly shows that they killed those people in the name of Atheism? No - you can't. Why not? b/c they did what they did for political reaosns, Hitler told us in WRITING he did what he did for religion. Google the phrase "Hitler's Christianity" and you can read massive volumes on it.

[truvianni]

@BlameRepublicans there is much material on Hitler yet in reading his book "My Struggle" you will see his reasons were not motivated by religion as Hitler was not even religious himself.Of course at the end of the day it really does not matter why mass murder is commited but that it is yet if we talk numbers than Stalin and Mao did kill more people.Actually the bible was even forbiden in Germany during the time of the Nazis

[BlameRepublicans]

"I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord Jesus Christ." What's that tell you? Additionally - what you said about the bible in Nazi Germany is false. There were Reich's Chaplin ranks in the Nazi Army, Hitler ordered all synagogues and mosques in captured territories destroyed, but preserved all Christian churches. “Gott mit Uns” was the Nazi motto! Sorry.

[truvianni]

@BlameRepublicans there are many things that Hitler said or is said to have said of course you are free to believe as you like and think as you like but I really do not see Hitlers causes as having been religious though this perhaps he said to convince those who would be persuaded by such arguments but either way like I said Stalin was still a bigger killer and there is no need to say you are sorry. I still see you as being wrong

[BlameRepublicans]

May I ask - are you a Christian?

[truvianni]

@BlameRepublicans I am an agnostic and the truth is I am against all religions. As I see them as pointless and something which humanity has no need of.I write many articles on religion if you care to read them please google "Truvianni,God" and you will see what I think of religion.My views are more complicated than what I can express here.

[matthewosmond1984]

You're views are you're views, believe what you want, but respect people who are religious like myself.

[BlameRepublicans]

nobeliefs(dot)com/Hitler1.htm

[truvianni]

@Brdj010 I see you have read your history. Stalin killed more people per year than the Romanovs did in all the 300 years they ruled Rusia and this is a fact nobody can deny who knows anything about history

[BlameRepublicans]

But Stalin never claimed anywhere he did what he did in the name of Atheism. Hitler was clear about his motivations. It was his religion. Sorry. Swing and a miss.

[truvianni]

@BlameRepublicans I am an agnostic so please do not feel that I defend religion but if you really look at Hitler's action they were not motivated by religious motives like the inquisition;they were motivated by racial issues.This in what he saw as an attempt to keep the German blood pure from not only Jews but other groups he considered undisireable.

[TheDudeYouHateToMeet]

@BlameRepublicans I wasn't talking about the fucking flavour you retard

[Jakegothicsnake]

Man, the one thing I don't like about the intro at all is the part where Archie sings "Girls were girls and men were men". It makes my skin crawl............>_<

[GrandMaster2350]

I'm sorry but I don't care if he is a priest or not ain't no man coming into my home and call me ignorant...

[SLBON]

The funniest part of the show is when Archie is sitting there unknowingly eating horse meat and he says to Edith:"Hold your horses!" Hahaha!

[TheDieselbutterfly]

Archie Bunker for president

[hallpriest9]

5:53 - Martin Luther would disagree with them, right?

[RobotMice]

I found it funny in real life the actor who played archie was really a roman catholic

[OzzyFan87]

@RobotMice Wasn't he Jewish as well?

[RobotMice]

Does anyone else want to eat horse now?

[tyrese3745]

@RobotMice I never tried horse meat and I probably never will. Horse meat in the U.S. of A today is taboo. Imagine if former TPIR emcee Bob Barker heard of this. He would have a major heart attack.

[paulyvi]

@tyrese3745 i never had horse meat butt i dated a guy 1 nite who wuz hung like a horse...))

[hallpriest9]

@tyrese3745 By what logic should any meat be more taboo than any other?

[BlacKnightRising]

"...yea and thats' the collection plate."

"I shouldn't think a collection plate would matter to you Archie, unless u were making' change." LOL

[ch4guy4life]

Rest in peace Irene. You made All In The Family a better show. Betty Garrett: 1919 - 2011.

[ch4guy4life]

Rest in peace Irene. You made All In The Family a better show.

[flipside1545]

love this show...thanks!!

[LilFireFox]

I myself believe in reincarnation and the energy of the earth. I don't care what anyone else believes in. As long as your happy/content and don't try to shove your beliefs down my throat then we're good!

[TheDieselbutterfly]

Archie Bunker for president

[Jiballin]

Only Jesus is holy. No man is whether he be a Christian or not. not one man can be Holy in himself. that is why we need Jesus! not the pope!

[Jiballin]

geesh this stuff on the Pope... So ungoldy, Catholics are just mislead. the Pope is not a godly man.

[FPiccioli]

@Jiballin Not only Godly..the VICAR of CHRIST

[RobotMice]

@Jiballin Wow archie use's the compture to make anti catholic statement got figure

[link71711]

thank you,  it's one of my favorite shows

[edmusicfan]

i'm not eating horse! what does horse really taste like?

[edmusicfan]

i'm so hungry i could eat a horse!

[shootinair]

Another classic Archie line @ 6:44: "that's the trouble with you catholics, you won't quit renewing yourselves, we got too many people in the world already". Very very well said! Bravo to Archie for telling it like it is.

[bradchaz]

Father Majeski: excellent quotes, from Pt. 1: "Archie, if the ignorant were blessed, you'd be a saint."

"I shouldn't think a collection plate would matter to you, Archie, unless you were making change."

This shows that the quality writing was spread around to everybody, not just the stars of the show.

[Jakegothicsnake]

I eat cow, but I would never eat horse meat or sheep meat.

[MADDOGRELIGION]

Yeah, you really think I'm gonna convert into Atheism because somebody attacked my religion? No way! God Bless!

[ccheng21]

@MADDOGRELIGION nope you're going to abandon your faith once you try to calculate Pi using biblical rules.

[baguazhang77]

@ccheng21 What does that have to do with anything?

Just because certain aspects of the world God created are describable (albeit very superficially) by mathematics, does not mean there is no God

Science only quantifies the way things are OBSERVED TO WORK, not what MAKES THEM WORK (which usually isn't known).

For instance, everyone (or at least actual scientists) knows gravitational force F = G*(m1*m2)/R^2. But, can you explain HOW gravity actually works?

Science does not contradict religion.

[BlameRepublicans]

@MADDOGRELIGION But religion sucks. It's the cause of 9-11 and the Holocaust. Down with religion. It's horrible.

[Brdj010]

@MADDOGRELIGION I think this BlameRepublicans idiot is some stupid teenager. He is an idiot and wrong either way.
