The Archie-Type: An All in the Family Retrospective

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HfbnirBKlk

A look back at a show that quite literally changed the way sitcoms worked on television. A series this important required a lot of time and effort to put together, and I hope that comes across in this video.

You'll probably notice the quality of the video and audio can be a bit inconsistent, and while I've tried to clean things up a little bit, I've chosen to generally leave if all as-is. So if there's a particularly darkly coloured episode or scratchy audio, it's because this is a series that was recorded on tape over 50 years ago.
