All In The Family - Judging Books By Covers 2-3

[SeanMBryans]

On the chair thing I couldn't do it yet my twin brother could. And I'm the gay one. Sp I guess there's nothing to it. Maybe one of those old wives tales.. . .

[1964nickel]

Luke Spencer, Dan Rooney and Asa Buchanon visit the Bunkers. Yep. Nice little treat this one is. :-}

[poughkeepsiejohn1]

I can't believe that's Anthony Geary as Roger! The same Anthony Gear who later became Luke on the daytime soap opera, "General Hospital"!

[46619TAB]

I just tried the chair thing. I wear a size 12 but I had NO problem. I'm Gay too, maybe that's why!?

I hated this show when I was a kid, Edith should have divorsed Archie before the show was created.

[Smartboy8877]

@46619TAB

As ignorant as Archie is, I do not think that Edith should have divorced him. He had his share of redeeming qualities.

[TravisDrago]

kelsey was pissed

[thegtafanboy]

"the right to strike is in the Constitution of the declaration of independence..."facepalm/

[Nowhereman2121]

Don't draw me no diaphragms XD

[MrDouchebagtv]

i tried this and i'm a dude. i was able to do it, so i guess that makes me a bitch!

[somedaysdreamers13]

@Gloria,What? lol

[kris39100]

LMAO!!!!!!! LOVE when Edith went dadaaa!!!!!!!

[kris39100]

I tried that and couldn't do it and I'm a girl!!!!! LOL!!!!

[ventures58]

I tried the chair thing and I couldn't pick it up. 

[sanfrancisco89]

Edith's character/personality is much different in these early shows. Reminds me of Crissy on 3s company who is less zany the first year.

[northofhome28]

ediths elephant is different too. in later episodes the elephant isnt golden, its green.

[northofhome28]

where did they get this Barney? I remember the other one that used to make appearances on Andy Griffith.

[salfordguy69]

Archie hates it that Steve doesn't join in with his homophobia and the realisation then that Steve is gay!! one gay man in a straight bar is fine but 2 and suddenly its a gay bar!!

[SLBON]

Haha! The guy Archie is talking to at 1:48 has food fall out of his mouth onto the floor!

[gforce4all]

They had everyone in america trying that chair test.I rember my whole family doing it.

[Smartboy8877]

@gforce4all

My whole family experimented with it too! My mother and my sister could do it but nobody else could!

[tonyrocco55]

I have many of the AITF seasons on dvd and watch them regularly, as well as TV Land, but I hate when the shows are edited. It seems like every episode has a scene that's cut for TV. In this clip, the segment from 8:13 to 8:20 (where Archie "mocks" Edith's "ta-daaa"...) is always cut from this episode. The same for the 6th episode of season 1 where Gloria's pregnant - Archie comes in with a huge stuffed bear and much of that scene where Edith is telling Archie that Gloria lost the baby is cut.

[Lennon4ever1]

Get a load of Gloria's outfit!

[kikyosan543]

its funny how mike cant tell that his friend is gay! XD

[idlefonzo201]

@kikyosan543 No, in the next episode Steve tells Archie that Mike is right about everything. Mike's friend is straight and Steve is gay.

[xXxXBleedPurpleXxXx]

@idlefonzo201 lol way to give it away

[idlefonzo201]

@xXxXBleedPurpleXxXx Sorry, I was correcting someones' earlier post suggesting Mikes' friend was gay, which was untrue.

[pynchonfan]

This is the ABC Soap Stars episode. Roger (Troy Geary--Luke Spencer--aka America's Sexiest Rapist, from GENERAL HOSPITAL), Kelsey (Bob Hastings, Capt. Burt Ramsey on GENERAL HOSPITAL), and Steve (Philip Carey, Asa Buchanan on ONE LIFE TO LIVE).

[demmylowther]

Isn't the guy who plays Muncie,played in the Bowerly Boys back in the 50's ?

[jaroncreed]

how many people tried that test at 7:00?

[MrSaturdayNight7]

@jaroncreed I know I tried it before a long time ago. Cant remember what happened.

[MrFloydianSlip]

LOL..Luke Spencer

[virgo396]

that football player guy messed up his line.at 11 seconds he calls munson barney lol. he says and all im saying barney.

[justsailingalong]

Is that Anthony Geary??? I heard he really is gay??? I always loved Luke and Laura.

[TheFlanker35]

@4:13,

I can understand that, but they weren't doing anything that gay.

[Phame17]

Mike's reaction: :O.... Lmao!

[bigguyjames34]

It has to do with your center of gravity. Mens center of gravity is in our so when we bend like that we lose our center. women ccenter is in there hips so when they bend over they are still centered.

[gtownlad77]

don't throw me no diaframs haha priceless

[husleman]

men with small feat can do it, men with big feet cant stand up, if you take three steps back with small feet and big feet, there is a difference in the distance from the wall.

with big feet, your further from the wall, thus when you put your head on the wall, your weight shifts to the wall since your legs are no longer perpendicular to the floor. where as small feet, your not too far from the wall, your feet is still perpendicular so your weight is still on the legs.

[louspintoo]

Who's talking about pugilism I asked you to watch the fights-lol

[JUGGALOMETAL80]

anyone know what this 2days shit youtube is advertising for?????????????

[aviationwingnut]

Munson's first name isn't Barney, is it? I thought it was Burt?

[gtz1975]

Hey isn't that Tinker Bell from McHale's Navy?

[2199]

Asa Buchanan and Luke Spencer.

[psu68born]

who knew back then what big roles they would take on

[shewstring2000]

please , draw me no diaphrams, love archie.

[SailorSaturn69]

I'm a guy and I can do it!

[shewstring2000]

@SailorSaturn69

yeah, i tried that with my son and husband , they were both able to do it too.

[aushorecm]

@SailorSaturn69 lol yeah I tried it too and I can do it (i'm a guy)

[amysusan100]

general hospital

[joeypolanski]

How does Kelcy know that Steve is a ... ummm ... a flower?

[amysusan100]

also the bartender is from GH. he played in the 80s a cop

[nuwavething]

its so true you cant judge a book by its cover,not all gays are feminine.

[link71711]

you guys are right, Edith acted a little different in the first season

[qbee2336]

Idk that was Luke...lol

[shoofirbin]

why does steve call munson "barney"?

[zazaranger5]

Yes it is

[qbee2336]

Is that Asa Buchanan? re:Steve

[jaconer73]

Yep...OLTL's Asa and GH's Luke in the same AITF episode

[brads62]

"sheer pornagraffy" lol

[jimmbo13]

Roger may be the worst actor Ive ever seen...in comparison to the regulars, who are some of the best.

[JLGH4ever]

ASA!!!! R.I.P.

[Srd1126]

I wouldn't want my place to become no *hangout*--KNOW WHAT I MEAN, HUH?!

[FightingForFreedom23]

That chair trick isnt even true, Im a man, I have size 10, and I can do that easily. It has to do with body balance and most men dont really have it that well, unless they are athletic that is. I can do it, so it isnt true, neat trick though.

[Tsuruta1]

That chair trick IS true, I'm not saying that is impossible for all men, or possible for all women, but as a personal fitness trainer, I have clients, men and women, that I've had participate in that just to show the small, subtle mechanical differences. And the results for the most part come out the same as you see here.

[Jakegothicsnake]

oh that is nonsense. I just tried i and the first time I tried I couldn't do it, but then I realised it was because my feet were position slightly outwards from the rest of me, but when I did with my feet more aligned or inwards, I could get up esily! it all has to do with feet positition and posture!

[Tsuruta1]

Well then you simply cheated, if you did it as demonstrated in the show the first time, and couldn't do it, then it isn't nonsense after all. Therefore you cannot dismiss it by doing it YOUR way.

[jeandoodles]

Asa and Luke on the same show before they became famous. And they were both on ABC too, who would have thought that was going to happen. Love this show, and Asa and Luke. Rip Asa and Archie.

[FLOOBERNINO]

This show was number one for many years before America went crazy with being PC. This is the greatest show of all time. Get a new cast and bring back all in the family with today's news topics.

[jonwiley]

I think the secret behind that chair trick is men tend to have bigger feet, so three heels away from any wall would leave a man farther away than a woman, and less able to stand upright again

[princev11]

yeah gloria was a lot closer to the wall then mike and archie

[Tsuruta1]

Not in my case, I wear a size 8, I tried it and couldn't stand up. As I said before it may not be absolute for men unable to stand up, or women able to, but the larger turnout is the same as seen in the show. I demonstrated that with a lot of my clients.

[ChicagoTyme]

R.I.P. Asa! I miss that man.

[DiAnno13]

Archie: It's what you call your upward spinal. Hey, Kelcy, got any beer on tap?

Mike: Spinal... tap... hey, that gives me an idea.

[MIKESOWELL]

Skymunro I'm not being funny but you sound sort of stocky. Do you have larger than normal hips for a man?

[skymunro]

maybe...i got a 36/38 waist...but yeah, i might have a low center of gravity...I just tried it again a (couple of months later) an I did it 3x just now..and i dont workout..im not an "in shape" 208 now ; o) lost 2 lbs

[bke274]

at 4:20 Archie and Steve's glasses are full of beer, but earlier when Roger is talking to Steve they are only half full. Kelcy didn't come and fill them up........so how did it happen.

[skymunro]

26 yo man, 5'11, 210lbs, I was able to do it just fine.

[evfich]

hot. :)

[LuckyIrishGirl08]

My husband and I tried the chair thing and it really works!

[empibroo1]

There are some real idiots on here giving thumbs down ratings for no reason.Well here's a reason to give me thumbs down you guys are fucking cunts and gapeing pussys that are to ignorant to leave a comment of your own and you have no idea what this show was every about.

[BrokenLeggBilly]

Why would you get a minus 7? People are so fucking sensitive and stupid.

[Journeyskye]

did it reallly work? Can you try with any kind of chair?

[LuckyIrishGirl08]

it did! you just have to be able to bend over it easily ( for both men and women)
