Television at its finest. Groundbreaking. Nothing like this will ever come again. Broke all the rules and made its points with sensitivity and humor despite its initial shocking offensiveness to all races and religions! One of a kind show with top writing, acting and directing. Filmed in front of a live audience, no canned laughter. Casting at its best for chemistry and timing! And so relevant to the times! Watching this show is like getting a history lesson in 70's politics and culture, fashion, civil rights issues, feminism, and many other controversial and timely topics. Brings back so many memories of watching with my family, in my childhood home. This was a show we all enjoyed together. Everybody watched Archie Bunker and his family back in the day! It was one of the most popular and talked about shows on TV, now a classic. Better now then it was then. So nostalgic! No wonder this show won so many outstanding awards throughout the years. Carroll O'Conner played Archie with complexity and sensitivity despite his initial boorishness. And who could resist falling in love with Jean Stapleton as sweet, naive, Edith. I miss them and this show! Watch thiis show... you will not be disappointed!Read full review

The product listing showed a package in "good" condition, but all of the discs are scuffed scratched and technically unwatchable. Some episodes play. The booklet was unread, so I read that. So far I've been able to watch only one episode that was not flawed.

I Love this show, I was 9 years old when All In The Family ended its run on tv and have not seen this show since. At 46, I enjoy this show even more now. All in the family is a classic with no competition, due to the subject matters covered in the show. This is true comedy tv that just can't be found on tv these days. The casting for All in the family was dead on for type of show, I can't imagine anyone else playing Edith, Archie, Gloria and Mike. I highly recommend this awesome box set containing seasons 1-9, for anyone that watched this show as a kid or adult.

I love re watching these old episodes! I watched them as a kid on network TV oh, so many years ago. Brings back fond memories of simpler times! Interesting how in this show, the portrayal of life's everyday problems and the social/political issues really haven't changed all that much over the years. Always fun to watch!

we're pleased! irreverent humour you can't get away with anymore... we've become so politically correct. so anal. this series was recorded nearly 50 years ago. probably on videotape. regarding video quality..some shows are excellent..some shows a little grainy. who cares.i ain't paying $500.00 for a digitally restored version. the audio is excellent. a reflection back to the seventies, the non stop archie humour is amazing...edith's honest replies, always a followup to archies wacko comments are lovingly hilarious. the new sitcoms seem to just dwell on sex and double entendre etc.. but i'm showing my age. this series was a good purchase at a good price.
