From the Assistant Village Idiot: My politics aligned somewhat with Michael's, but I found him an unlikeable character. The show had clearly lined up to show Archie and his ideas in the worst possible light, buffoonishly so, and this struck...

You know there is a lot of comedic talent and skill involved when decades after a show first aired, followed by countless re-runs, the laughs still spontaneously are produced. Smiling and laughing was my first reaction on seeing these segments again from the award-winning “All In The Family”. It just proves Carroll O’Connor was a first-rate [...]

" Cold Turkey " ( Norman Lear , 1971) One of the first movies I saw under my own power and financial resources * at the late, lamented John Danz Theatre (Rest in " UnderHills Furniture "—wonder what they did with the dolphin sculpture in the lobby'). It's one of the clutch of semi-satirical social comedies that wasn't radical enough to offend the oldsters or attract the kids,...

Here is yet another of the time lapse demo caricatures from the 1993 retail sales video. This one is of “All in the Family” star Carroll O’Connor. I’m not sure how many people under 35 will know who this is… I don’t think “All in the Family” gets a lot of syndication time on TV [...]

When you hear the words "action-adventure", you may not immediately think of Rob Reiner, who's perhaps best known for his portrayal of "Meathead" on "ALL IN THE FAMILY" and his directing work on the legendary mockumentary THIS IS SPINAL TAP and romcoms like WHEN HARRY MET SALLY. But Reiner is getting into the chair for the unfortunately titled BOOK OF SHADOWS (which is...

Ford turned down the classic part of Archie Bunker’s son-in-law, Michael “Meathead” Stivic, which ended up becoming Rob Reiner’s breakout role.

I ran this post twice already. When I feel nostalgic and have nothing to say I run this post. Today I am visiting Dr. Gilbert Suitor to get my eyes checked. My mother took me to see Dr. Suitor when I was, like, eight. Man, Suitor must be getting up there. Not as old as his partner at the Cherry Street office, Dr. Rist, but still old. Anybody ever go to Suitor and Rist's office next to Pennycluse? Ancient....

Many of today’s TV shows have dispensed with the traditional theme song in an effort to squeeze in more commercial time, which fills traditional television fans with a sense of melancholy. Does anyone out there still remember a time when a show’s theme song told the back-story of the series, or was catchy enough to [...]
