Family Guy intro is a homage you dumbasses as 'All in the Family' is Seth MacFarlane's (creator) favorite show. And the Simpsons was a parody not stealing.
When I was younger I would watch this with my parents and I loved it!
Whenever anyone of my friends would sit in my dad's chair in the living room, he would say ''Hey that's Archie Bunker's chair.'' That was his way of telling people to get off his chair, No one got the reference lol
We could use a man like Herbert Hoover again. Didn't need a welfare state. Everybody pulled his weight. These lines are stuck in my head... the time before America cracked and gave into Socialism
Norman Lear even said in an interview if there was anything that described his TV shows, it was that line about the days before welfare. He said it summed up Archie Bunker, James Evans and George Jefferson, because all three refused to use it to get by.
This was the best show ever written for TV. Truly genuine, simple and full of happiness. Mrs Bunker's smile was contagious! There is nothing better than watching it and remember that good time when there was no terrorist infiltration in the world, many different types of drugs, and people living in utter misery!
@kawikatube I think of it as more of a tribute. Well, a tribute that most people today won't get because they never watched the classic sitcom. But kudos to you (and me, I guess) for getting it. This show may have been before my time, but it's clear how groundbreaking it was in the history of television.
I did live through the 90's you idiot. If I can type a grammatically correct sentence, it's probably because I'm older than 10 years old. I just don't remember every useless detail about the shows I watch...
@aveyowyns And ironically Family guy is a rip off of the Simpsons, the Simpsons is a rip off the Flintones. And the Flinstones ripped off the Honeymooners.....and two and a half men is retarded.
this show was sooo funny! i have the discs sets you could not get away with this on tv today but you know what? it was a hell of a lot smarter tv back then it challenged you & was not stupid reality crap. good show!
I'm 15 and I used to watch this show when I was little. It was hilarious. :D Whenever I see the Family Guy opening with them at the piano, I think, "they took that from All in the Family!"
Boy, the way Nirvana played Songs that got Kurt Cobain laid Guessing how much Biggie weighed Those were the days! And you knew where you were then Watching Seinfeld yak 'bout Superman Mister we could use a man like Bubba Clinton again! Pundits endlessly debate Doom and OJ's big court date Gee our Genesis ran great Those were the daaaays!
your a fool if you say seinfeld sucks..........sure friends is overrated but to say seinfeld sucks your a fool.seinfeld is a classic and will never be touched or comparable to anything
Friends totally sucks, and so does Sienfled and all of that horrible pre recorded laughter. It isnt that funny. Watching Seinflield is like having all of your teeth drilled at the same time. All in the Family is REAL MAN !!!!
@52298Morecraft Season 6 of Will And Grace -- Jack tells Grace she would go to heaven if she wasn't Jewish and Grace tells Jack he would go to heaven if he wasn't gay. So which direction for Janets Reno and Napolitano? "Girls were girls and men were men..Mister, we could use a man like Herbivorous Hoover again"- Mister Jay Edgar Hooves. Joaquin Phoenix said in his movie Earthlings to spread the Vegan word. Watch Earthlings and Walk The Line, starring Joaquin Phoenix, of the Phoenix V-ictory UFO.
FOR THOSE THAT DID NOT GROW UP WATCHING THE SHOW. AS YOU GET OLDER YOU WILL APPRECIATE THIS SHOW. CARROLL O'CONNOR WAS NOTHING LIKE "ARCHIE BUNKER". READ UP ON HIM. HE WAS THE VERY OPPOSITE. SOME 40 YEARS LATER & I AM STILL WATCHING on tvland.... EDITH BUNKERS CHARACTER & WISH MORE PEOPLE WERE LIKE HER, CARING AND KIND. THERE WILL NEVER BE TIMES LIKE THE 70'S AND I MISS THE TIMES OF MY YOUTH. TIMES OF GREAT ROCK & ROLL. THIS WAS THE BEST SHOW OF THE 70'S. MORALS IN THE SERIES WERE TO HEART. RIP
@GOLDENFLYWARRIOR I remember when I was around maybe 5, I watched the show only because my dad did. I loved the theme song and seeing the Jeffersons in it. Then when I grew up, I watched it a lot more because I actually got what the stories were. What a great show it was. RIP Carroll.
@GOLDENFLYWARRIOR you know that this show was great from the very first time you saw it.All in the family and Mash are and were the most important TV shows of the 20th century to be sure.They may have been comedies but with so much soul and serious as well,they became a mirror of us all in a way that has not been expressed as well since.These two shows along with The Twilight Zone made us all the better,do you agree?I wish more well thought out shows would come to the fore.
@GOLDENFLYWARRIOR can totaly agree with you there t.v shows after the 80's went down hill bigtime to many so called talk show reallityshows and to often they all run the same theme
@UNlicensedPROBova Yes. In fact working class people (like me) still do, and we usually have a good reason (life). Calm discussion is a middle class luxury. Still, it's better to raise your voice than your fists.
@willdewit1971 The LaSalle was an old automobile brand. You may also remember names like Packard, and Dusenberg, the latter the inspiration for the phrase, 'That's a Doozy'.
I 've always wondered if the theme song was from decades gone or was it written for the show. Anyone who thinks we need times when "girls were girls" missed the whole point of the show. 'nough said!
i always liked how when the song was over arche and edith all look at each other with really happy loving expressions. In most of the shows archie never really gets to tell edith how he feels but this shows it
@scoobydoorocks10 You should have seen them TV Land back then and on Nick at Nite when they used to air those shows. You could have watched those shows and seen the credits. It was awesome!
This show kicked so much ass because none of the characters were one dimensional.Archie wasn't quite as reactionary when pressed.Gloria and Meathead weren't always as progressive as they maintained.Edith was wise beneath her ditzy behavior.
im 15 and i can honestly say that i wish they had tv shows like all in the family and the jeffersons like this now. it makes me wish i was born in the 70's or 80's when tv was worth watching and music was worth listening to :(
@soccergirl5367 Actually since you have some clue of what good shows were like back in the 70's maybe you young people can bring back those good times and create something on TV worth watching our future is in your hands-it is up to you guys to bring back good TV programming and music worth listening to-you are the future
@motleyscott89 Here is your answer! The last line of their song is: "Gee, our old LaSalle ran great". The Lasalle was an automobile that was made many, many decades ago. Listen to the song again. Now, you will understand the words!
@jimbritttn a bigot is someone who marries more than one person.....i thot...anyway they made him out to be a prejudice person....i like the episode when he meets sammy davis jr.
@motleyscott89 according to the dictionary; A bigot is a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices, especially one exhibiting intolerance, and animosity toward those of differing beliefs.
@FrankieTheoret - If you were lucky enough to have married a sweet, loving (and surprising smart) woman like Edith, you should have kissed her feet and thank your lucky stars for her.
@FrankieTheoret - I used the word "surprising" because Edith does come off, on the surface, as clueless (Archie regularly calls her a "dingbat"), but beneath that exterior lies the mind of a very wise person. After watching the show for years, it was not "surprising" to me that Edith possessed intelligence. What surprises me now it that someone like you takes a positive profile like mine and tries to make ME look insensitive. Instead it makes you look rather stupid, shallow and petty.
@WSenator1 lol its youtube man, calm down. and this is only a tv show edith doesnt exist and niether does archie, they are actors. mabey you should get some common sense before trying to insult someone ;) oh and word of advice: try not to make a comment more then a paragraph long
@FrankieTheoret - I'm sorry you don't have the intelligence to read a paragraph without your head hurting. If this is "just a television show" to you, then what about your original comments? Is it that when somebody calls you on stupid things you say, that you play it off as something unimportant? Look at all the comments on this site about this program - Do you look down on them, too? Goodbye, Meathead (to quote Archie), and try to have some sort of meaningful life.
@WSenator1 im 6 months old.. and secondly, you should be open to trolls when your on youtube you shithead, learn the ropes. and what about the original comments.. me calling u sexist and saying carrol o connels character has a bad voice?? dont take shit like that so personal. i never said you have a bad voice nor did i insult you before you insulted me, you need to grow up my friend.
@FrankieTheoret see the fact that you believe there's no success in trolling is why you suck cock at trolling. trolling is an art and art is success and if you are a shitty artist you don't succeed, which is why you don't succeed at trolling. Please kill yourself with fire.
@stfwho theres where your wrong my friend.. trolling is just a way to make fat low life scum, fell better about themselves by fucking with other people over the internet, what you just said is one of the most retarded things ive heard in a while, trolls are bullies.. and im pretty sure that bullying isnt an art
@stfwho i love how people like you start to throw insults when you dont have a comback.. u wish i was dead so i would mindfuck you in an arguement that you had no buisness getting into.. i hope "god" takes mercy on your "soul" sir ;)
@FrankieTheoret all i heard was "i'm a stupid cunt blah dee blah blah blah" I hope you burn in hell you dumb ass theist now get back to fucking your sister you redneck hillbilly and don't forget to ask jesus for forgiveness you clueless cunt
@FrankieTheoret good job! I see you've learned your lesson on how to troll better. I'm glad I was able to teach you. Now go out there and troll like a pro! :D
I remember when the show first started in my early teens.Every body was in shock no one had the nerve to put a show like that on.Boy how times have changed.I glad they did.
AITF could very well be the best TV series of all time--many critics think so. So controversial & immensely funny--GREAT actors, scripts, ideas and direction. Broke so many tv/society barriers--too many to list here. I loved watching Archie's outrageous behavior and Edith's classic Gracie nitwit (yet wise) responses. My parents and I watched it every Sat. night. I think of them often--they are both gone-now (but not ever from my heart) whenever I laugh/cry watching this great show.
The song speaks of a time when people took care of themselves. They didn't need , nor did they WANT Gov't help. Thus the lyrics, Didn't need no welfare state. Everybody pulled his weight. We've fallen so far, today. We can't even get an education w/o the Gov't. Society has grown pathetically needy and weak. I admire the founders for their strength and toughness. Characteristics that only seem to apply to MMA Fighters today.
@exmarincop You are so right on that one--it was the last brick wall--and even AITF--couldn't blast it down--but they loosened up other stuff to make that necessary change possible later on. Thank you for your response--I take it you were in our military--an enlightened military man. Thanks.
When I was 4, I lived with my grandparents. they watched TV Land every night, and I would always sleep in the middle between them, This show was on every night... Makes tears come to my eyes with the memories. It's almost like I can smell the ciggarette ash of their room and the dust.... I love this theme, and the memories were better.
I was born in the late 80's, and part of my childhood was watching this show with my grandparents. Though I don't remember any episodes, I just remember it was always on the tv.
Man, back in the 70's was when good movies and good shows were coming out. Too bad, the decade pass on. I watched All in the Family on TV Land on 7:30pm through 9:00pm and I like it a lot. One of my favorite shows.
Getting older is so depressing.I'm 43 now and still mentally feel like im still young but i'm not,it really does suck to get old if you had fond memories as a kid and miss those times,which i do.I wish every kid had a good childhood that they miss,it is bittersweet but i wouldnt change a thing.God Bless the 70's and shows like this,kids today will never know the innocence of growing up back then
actually i watched this show avidly long before family guy.. it kind of reminds me of that becaues they did a parody yeah.. but this show is a classic
Hearing this theme song brings back such strong memories of watching All in the Family with my parents and my two older sisters in the 1970's in El Paso, TX. They loved the show and I did too. That was a time when there weren't any computers, cell phones or video games (at least, not in my household, except for Pong) and since we only had one television, we all watched the same shows. I miss that family togetherness.
@gwyneth00 I agree, I loved those memories, and that was before microwave ovens and remote control tvs that only had maybe 4 channels if you were lucky to get them and we still made popcorn the old fashion way!
@gwyneth00 I know what you mean! But why is that like that these days? Is it because everybody has his/her own television set and computer? In the 80s we only had like 3 channels in German television which was enough to be entertained perfectly. Now we have hundreds of bad quality tv channels, and I've quit watching tv (I watch Youtube only nowadays, and old nostalgia shows and cartoons, to create that nostalgia 80s feeling again which works perfectly). Any thoughts about it? Thanks! :-)
@tron81 yes, for the shortened first season, the theme song was performed live for every episode. From what I read, they had no budget to do a pre-recorded version.
@tron81 There were four different versions of the theme song. Season one (this version); seasons 2-5, seasons 6-8; and season 9. However, Carroll and Jean DID perform the song live for the studio audience before each taping. These performances, however, were not evrer broadcast.
Best show of all time!!!!!

AITF could very well be the best TV series of all time--many critics think so. So controversial & immensely funny--GREAT actors, scripts, ideas and direction. Broke so many tv/society barriers--too many to list here. I loved watching Archie's outrageous behavior and Edith's classic Gracie nitwit (yet wise) responses. My parents and I watched it every Sat. night. I think of them often--they are both gone-now (but not ever from my heart) whenever I laugh/cry watching this great show.

The song speaks of a time when people took care of themselves. They didn't need , nor did they WANT Gov't help. Thus the lyrics, Didn't need no welfare state. Everybody pulled his weight. We've fallen so far, today. We can't even get an education w/o the Gov't. Society has grown pathetically needy and weak. I admire the founders for their strength and toughness. Characteristics that only seem to apply to MMA Fighters today.

@exmarincop You are so right on that one--it was the last brick wall--and even AITF--couldn't blast it down--but they loosened up other stuff to make that necessary change possible later on. Thank you for your response--I take it you were in our military--an enlightened military man. Thanks.

When I was 4, I lived with my grandparents. they watched TV Land every night, and I would always sleep in the middle between them, This show was on every night... Makes tears come to my eyes with the memories. It's almost like I can smell the ciggarette ash of their room and the dust.... I love this theme, and the memories were better.

Man, back in the 70's was when good movies and good shows were coming out. Too bad, the decade pass on. I watched All in the Family on TV Land on 7:30pm through 9:00pm and I like it a lot. One of my favorite shows.

Hearing this theme song brings back such strong memories of watching All in the Family with my parents and my two older sisters in the 1970's in El Paso, TX. They loved the show and I did too. That was a time when there weren't any computers, cell phones or video games (at least, not in my household, except for Pong) and since we only had one television, we all watched the same shows. I miss that family togetherness.

@gwyneth00 I know what you mean! But why is that like that these days? Is it because everybody has his/her own television set and computer? In the 80s we only had like 3 channels in German television which was enough to be entertained perfectly. Now we have hundreds of bad quality tv channels, and I've quit watching tv (I watch Youtube only nowadays, and old nostalgia shows and cartoons, to create that nostalgia 80s feeling again which works perfectly). Any thoughts about it? Thanks! :-)

@tron81 yes, for the shortened first season, the theme song was performed live for every episode. From what I read, they had no budget to do a pre-recorded version.
richiguy 9 months ago
@tron81 There were four different versions of the theme song. Season one (this version); seasons 2-5, seasons 6-8; and season 9. However, Carroll and Jean DID perform the song live for the studio audience before each taping. These performances, however, were not evrer broadcast.
