ALL IN THE FAMILY jokes

I noticed two ALL IN THE FAMILY jokes in this movie, which as most of you know, Carroll O'Connor was in. In one scene someone said, "Goodnight, Nurse," which was one of Archie Bunker's favorite lines. In another, when Carroll O'Connor & his buddies were leaving the room in a hurry, two of them got stuck in the doorway at the same time -- the same way Meathead & Archie used to do all the time. I wonder if there were any more AITF references which I missed. Nice little touch.

All great catches. I've recently been on an ALL IN THE FAMILY kick with my mom since they put it on TV LAND (right before Sanford and Son--which I'm also on a big kick with at the moment)--and it hit me that Carroll O'Connor was in fact in RTM (it's a literal shame I forgot). Like I said, really great catches.

Don't forget the scene where Marty says to Grace "You're beautiful and nobody's gonna be looking at your chest". That's kinda like something Archie would say.
