[losemothergoose]

[417salior]

Norman Lear was a jerk. Carroll O'Connor came up with most of the jokes and development of the character.

[auntbecky]

@417salior If it wasn't for Norman Lear theyre would be NO Archie Bunker. So stife!

[horseangels]

Do you have "Edith's Crisis of Faith?" Can you upload it? Don't have the means to do that myself and have been looking for it everywhere. Thanks.

Lori Shannon (born Don Seymour McLean, May 18, 1938 – died February 11, 1984) was an openly gay female impersonator who was long associated with the drag revues at the famous Finocchio's nightclub in San Francisco. He also wrote an entertainment column for the Bay Area Reporter. His stage persona was notable for his size (6'6"), raspy basso voice, and sarcastic humor.

[chettmansberger]

From Michael, "Ma, you know what nice about Archie?" From Edith, "No, what?"  From Michael, "So you can't think of anything either, huh?" The most brilliant comic writers in existence created this show!

[bearnurse1]

For a long time i assumed Bevery La Salle was the transvestite Divine but it turns out it was a man named Don Seymour Mclean. Divines real name was Glenn Milstead.

[Shakeshack78]

@bearnurse1 It's Divine.............just look at any of his 70's movies and you'll see it's him.

[bearnurse1]

@Shakeshack78 Wrong. It looks like Divine but Beverly LaSalle was portrayed by Don Seymour Mclean.  Divine was portrayed by Glenn Milstead. Look it up. They are two different people who look similar in drag.

[XWoodchuckleX]

Cont:

To the general public, Shannon is best known for portraying female impersonator Beverly LaSalle in three episodes of the long-running U.S. television sitcom All in the Family. The episodes in which he appears are "Archie the Hero" (1975), "Beverly Rides Again" (1976), and "Edith's Crisis of Faith, Part 1" (1977).

He died of a heart attack at the age of 45 on February 11, 1984.

[Pauly69s]

@XWoodchuckleX wow he was only 45 when he died...thats so young...thank you for the info..ive been watching "Archie The Hero" and laffin so hard...I also was looking for "Edith's Crisis of Faith" but could not remember the name...it made me cry... thanks again...))

[shonester]

LOL...good episode

[laknowles1220]

rofl @ "everything you hear passes right down to your carnival instincts"

[IwontConform]

"yes,yes,i woulda saved the man..even if Ida known he was a transversal" lol.

[gtz1975]

I remember Archie saving another life in an another episode where a an unemployed man was on a ledge threatning to jump off and Archie talked him out of it. Edith saved a life at the retirement home.

[kolst8406]

@gtz1975 Yes, then Archie is on the ledge by himself and the crowd below starts yelling, "Jump! Jump!"

[MelanieLouM]

I consider the episode where Beverly dies as one of the sadest...next to when Mike, Gloria and Joey move to California! :'(

[bobbystj]

Munson is a douche. archie saves somebody in his cab and he wants money for it.

[StephanieLives]

"How is it you know so much about these things?" Oh God, he turned into my father.

[ameroux]

Lori Shannon did a wonderful job with this role. The later episode where Beverly is attacked on the street broke my heart.

[SF67guy]

OMG, I just looked up Lori Shannon. She (he) died of a heart attack at age 45. That's so sad...

[gtz1975]

@ameroux No Archie to save his life THAT time!

[jay3395]

luv this episode

[historee]

this episode is 2 funny

[Jamaicanchocolate34]

Let me see youse underwear!  LMBO ROFL

[TRAVISJAMES03]

Sadly, Lori Shannon died in Feb of '84 due to a heart attack.

[SF67guy]

At age 45!!! RIP...

[winterpeger]

Bravo. LOved watching this show.

[Spike1885]

thank you for uploading this its one of my favourite episodes.

[ThePolkadotbikini]

thanks for the info, phlashba. i stand corrected. how'd you know that?

[RollerDisc88]

there are also married men with families who are closet homosexuals

[ThePolkadotbikini]

yes i was right. beverly was played by an actress named lori shannon. so it was a woman playing a man who dresses as a woman. wow. how victor/victoria.

[phlashba]

That's actually incorrect: "Lori Shannon" was born "Don Seymour Mclean". She was a transgendered person playing a transgendered person.

[kerasea]

Classic show. Norman Lear was a genius.

[ATLien333]

Does anyone have the episode where Beverly gets mugged and she/he dies with Edith and Archie in the room??

[achrador]

Its called Beverely Rides Again

[whatisgoingonnow]

it is NOT Beverly Rides Again.

Beverly is murdered in Edith's Crisis of Faith.

[princev11]

can someone upload it?

[amazingjecklebrother]

thats the one Edith's Crisis of Faith.

[TRAVISJAMES03]

I really wish that ep. would be uploaded. It would be a great bookend to the character of Beverly LaSalle.

[pianoplayinfool]

All in the Family was the best.....This one was one of my favorite episodes.....

[ROLtheWolf]

A witness shall not bear falsies against thy neighbor ---

Bwaaaaaahahahahahahahaha!

[TheBeatles122]

:48 let me see your underwear  hahahahaha so funny

[BabyEeyore509]

hey the guy that played the "press" didn't he play the cop when archie was worried about his job??? it looks exactly like him!!!

[SteelerJeff2009]

You are correct. There were several actors who played multiple people on the show.

[BabyEeyore509]

yeah. I never knew that. isn't there an episode when the man lady got killed though? my dad said that was an episode of that

[johnnyu278]

Wasn't it great before this country went to the big crapola "Political Correctness?"

Damn wimps are ruining this country. Tell it like it is, Archie!

[ronnykmarshall]

and what's so ironic is that the producers of the show were very liberal.

I'm a proud liberal and I have to agree that "PC" goes too far.

[match913]

"liberals like me and you"hahaha

[LuckyIrishGirl08]

at 7:12 it looked like he was trying so hard not to laugh

[SF67guy]

It does look like Archie broke character for a fraction of a second!

[thesethingz]

"...a witness shall not bear "falsies" against thy neighbor" lol

[PMantisKF]

which is what that fag bore up against me

[paulatwe]

and what a boar she is

[evfich]

chili...with onions

[thunderstruck665]

ROTFL, Carroll wanted to laugh so bad @ 7:13! I wonder how many takes that scene took.

[drinklime]

for the most part they shot a whole episode at a time then performed it again in the afternoon, each time with an audience. then they would piece together the episode from just two total takes

[batboy231]

Kelsey's, where men were men and the beer was warm.  Everthing seemed to have perspective at Kelsey's. I wonder what time they open at.

[stacyblue1980]

"Everything you hear passes right down to your carniVal insincts."

[piscesrising2006]

that's one of the most amazing episodes of AITF i've seen yet.

[sailorsdoxy]

fageleh? he must be jewish!

[shakysyxx]

defintly...as i mentioned in the past videos...it was just exactly what tv needed a little bit of reality slapped into ppl..but just in a controversial way

[danwlewis]

you know this was very contoversial for the 70's

[Freeflyur]

Things are so pc today, it'd still be controversial. They'd probably be scared to use the word fag on network TV.

[StephanieLives]

That's not true, you can still say "fag" on TV. I assume you missed the hilarious "you're a fag" exchange on ABC's "Clerks: The Animated Series"... :-P

[cholulasaucehot]

let me see your underwear ! klassic

here ya go prince charming ..... i need to use the sandbox !!!!!!!!

grabs the titties and says sorry fella lol

[Smartboy8877]

@cholulasaucehot

I guess that all comedies need to resort to slapstick at some point or other!
