wow!!!! how refreshing it is to see Scottie MacGregor in a different kind of role from Mrs Olsen!!!! Although Mrs Olsen was my fav character on LHOTP!!! What a great lady she is! :)
It just breaks my heart to read all these mean-hearted comments. Everybody liked Sally Struthers until she got 'fat.' After that everyone dismissed her as being of lower character than lesser-quality, however thinner, actors. Good or bad, she's still the same person regardless of what she looks like. So sad. I'll never understand the (apparently inherent) human need to hate others on the basis of their appearance alone.
The woman playing the nurse...I only caught a glimpse... But wasn't she the actor that played the news reporter who came to the house when Edith saved someone's life, or something? Archie was wearing his Disney World shirt and wanted to be on TV, but the reporter didn't want to hear anything from or about Archie.
A woman today would be very lucky if she could find a man who truly loved her like Archie loved Edith. Watch the "Archie Bunker's Place" episode "Edith's death" if you doubt it. It's on youtube.
I always tear up too when I watch this one. Junkyard has done a GREAT job posting these. I HATE cancer. I watched it kill my Dad almost 25 years ago. The only good thing that came out of it is that the parisitic disease also went when he did. It was horrible watching that. Like think I said on part two's post, CHECK yourselves. Early detection is VERY important. My next older sister found that out and was taken care of. This is a very touching, well done episode.
Good writing and good acting are timeless...AITF had both, and as such it'll be watched decades from now. Plus, it was so "outrageous" for the times.....who talked about breast cancer on a "comedy" TV series in the mid seventies? This series was years ahead of its time. I mean, it's just after "Green Acres" and the "Beverly Hillbillies" were No. 1 on TV.
All in the Family was the first television show to raise many taboo subjects, such as breast cancer, rape, menopause and miscarriage. It was a landmark series in many ways in addition to being one of the funniest shows ever. Great writing and a great cast.
Thank you so much for posting this. I have been telling my 20-yr-old son about AITF for a long time, and this is the one I'm going to show him. It's perfect because my mother has just had a lumpectomy.
I love when Mike gets flustered and blurts out things to cover (a nice combo of very good writing and acting). "I told you nothing. Wanna play checkers?" (0:15)
@ITALIANJRZYGUYNNJ LOL. Oh, come on Italy.....maybe 300. Okay, she HAD gotten a lot bigger but, to me, she still has that kinda "Gloria cuteness" even at 60+. I've often wondered why that happens to people..... other than middle age, maybe. Seems to me, that every ounce I put on makes it like trying to lose TEN to get of that one. She sure did have a nice figure back in those days. Not too skinny, not too beefy.
@ITALIANJRZYGUYNNJ Well, never can tell. For all anyone knows, she might've been trying to beat a weight problem for life. One thing that really made her gain my respect and admiration was a letter she wrote to the public about her and her sis's struggle with their mother while the woman was enduring Alzheimer's. I wonder if that had something to do with her getting bigger? Some people use food for comfort, I think. The last time I saw my ex-wife, she was pitiful she'd gotten SO big.
@aviationwingnut yess it is a shame and what do the big women do of it today?..they promote their fat at sleezy bbw parties the call it dancing lol....they should be all band bbw parties nothing but sex hook ups...gross
@ITALIANJRZYGUYNNJ That's true. Some of them do. And, there's guys who go for it. More power to them. I just figure that, IF I ever end up re-marrying, I'll know when it's right. I gave up 'looking' long ago. Found out the hard way that looking only gets you the same - just looking a bit differently.
@aviationwingnut YEAH PEOPLE TODAY ARENT THE SAME...TO MUCH INFO IS ONLINE...DATTING GOT SO BAD SINCE WE GOT THE INTERNET ALL THE LIARS AND CHEATERS COME TO PRAY ON THE NET...AND NOW WITH TEXTING YOU CAN NEVER FULLY TRUST PEOPLE TODAY YOU DONT KNOW WHO THEY TALKING TOO ON THE CELL...I HATE TEXTING...TOO MANY STUPID PEOPLE STILL TEXT AND DRIVE....
@ITALIANJRZYGUYNNJ Generally true but, truthfully I think that the liars, cheaters, etc have always been there. It's just easier for them with the Internet. I don't have texting. I've had my first cell phone for a bit over 3 years and that's one option I didn't want. have never sent one in my life - and have zero desire to. I think the use of anything handheld/portable needs to be completely banned when driving. Some states have already banned it.
funny sweet and loving episode,i liked archie in this one.
