Product Description:
The hilarious landmark comedy series ALL IN THE FAMILY returns for Season Three with its flawless sense of ensemble chemistry precision timing and lasting political relevance intact (and went on to win both the Emmy® and Golden Globe® for Outstanding Comedy Series). By now these characters have come to feel like television's first dysfunctional family: blue-collar conservative Archie (Carroll O'Connor) his long-suffering but loving wife Edith (Jean Stapleton) "little girl" Gloria (Sally Struthers) and her liberal husband "Meathead" Mike (Rob Reiner). Series creator Normal Lear broke nearly every rule and taboo but their foibles produced some of television's biggest laughs. They could also make us cry as with the heartbreaking "Gloria the Victim" or shock us as with "The Bunkers & the Swingers" (1973 Emmy® for Writing in a Comedy Series).System Requirements:Starring: Carroll O'Conner Jean Stapleton Rob Reiner Sally Struthers Running Time: 610 Min.

The enduring appeal of one of television's best and most controversial programs comes through loud (literally) and clear on All in the Family: The Complete Third Season, some 10 hours of compelling, entertaining viewing that serve as a timely reminder that even as TV in the new millennium has seemingly become more diverse and inclusive, with its many gay-themed shows and, gasp, proliferation of all manner of minorities, it has lost the kind of bite that the beloved (well, by some folks, anyway) bigot Archie Bunker used to bring to the small screen.
All 24 episodes (there is no bonus material or extra features) from the '72-'73 season of executive producer Norman Lear's sitcom are contained here, and those unfamiliar with the show may well find them a bit startling. The language is part of it; Archie's frequent use of terms like "gook" and "fag" would never pass muster in these politically correct times. Yet even more striking is All in the Family's subject matter. Again and again, serious themes like politics (the '72 presidential race, pitting Richard Nixon against George McGovern, is mentioned frequently), racism ("Archie in the Hospital" is just one episode dealing with that issue), the death penalty and violence in the name of religion ("Archie Is Branded"), sexual assault ("Gloria, the Victim"), and gun control ("Archie and the Editorial") are handled with remarkable frankness. At the center of it all, of course, is Carroll O'Connor's Archie, who remains belligerent, boorish, and downright mean to the bitter end. Whether he's bribing an IRS agent, cheating an insurance company, or just being pig-headed in general, Archie is utterly unrepentant; basically, he never does the right thing, a trait that's somehow both irritating and refreshing.
All in the Family is hardly perfect; the dysfunctional family's ceaseless squabbling and shouting--usually involving Archie and liberal son-in-law Mike Stivic (Rob Reiner), although wife Edith (the brilliant Jean Stapleton) and daughter Gloria (Sally Struthers) aren't immune--eventually becomes tiresome and shrill. But for the most part, the show's acting, writing (which manages to be very funny as well as incisive), and point of view make this set a must-have. --Sam Graham

All In The Family's third season (1972/73), was the second of five ratings-topping seasons of All In The Family, Norman Lear's adaption of the British comedy Till Death Us Do Part. Around 21.6 million viewers watched this season when it was first broadcast, making it the most-watched season in terms of viewers (though not in terms of percentage of TV sets, the second season's 34% of TV sets as opposed to the third season's slightly lower 33%). Norman Lear and Bud Yorkin's Tandem Productions would ... Read More

Sony Pictures, selling All in the Family to MPI Home Video would be a perfect idea for the fans, who have waited 7 years to collect all 9 Seasons of the series on DVD. Please do not say no to my suggestion. MPI Home Video will be willing to re-release the first 6 seasons, and release the 3 remaining seasons with no problems. Please sell All in the Family to MPI Home Video!

This is a show I grew up with, in more innocent times. In spite of being terribly politically incorrect, it's funny and amusing. My son is the one who actually wanted it, and he's now a huge fan.

I grew up watching "All in the Family" and, for a long time considered it to be one of my favorite shows. I bought this DVD collection a couple of years ago and I have recently got around to watching some episodes. While I give AITF credit for fine acting, the chemistry of the ensamble, breaking new ground and snapping television out of the mindless "Beverly Hillbillies" stage; I also have come to see the program as somewhat less than what I once thought was funny.
I cringe, for example, ... Read More

Even though these shows were made in the late 60's and early 70's it touches upon subjects that now a days people and other shows are afraid to even touch let alone mention. These shows are funny as well if you can handle the subjects they touch upon.
