<p><i><b>Archie Bunker's Place</b></i> is an American television <a href="Sitcom" title="Sitcom">sitcom</a> produced as a continuation of <i><a href="All_in_the_Family" title="All in the Family">All in the Family</a></i>. It aired on <a href="CBS" title="CBS">CBS</a> from September 23, 1979 to April 4, 1983. After the final first-run telecast on CBS in April 1983, the series went into reruns on Wednesdays from June 29 through September 21, 1983. While not as popular as its predecessor, the show maintained a large enough audience to last four seasons. It performed so well during its first season that it displaced <i><a href="Mork_%26_Mindy" title="Mork & Mindy">Mork & Mindy</a></i> from its Sunday night time slot; a year earlier, during its first season, <i>Mork & Mindy</i> had been the No. 3 show on television.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2></div>

<p>Although the Bunker home, long familiar to viewers, continues to be featured, the scenes are primarily set in the title's neighborhood tavern in <a href="Astoria%2C_Queens" title="Astoria, Queens">Astoria, Queens</a>, which <a href="Archie_Bunker" title="Archie Bunker">Archie Bunker</a> (<a href="Carroll_O'Connor" title="Carroll O'Connor">Carroll O'Connor</a>) purchased in the eighth-<a href="Season_premiere" title="Season premiere">season premiere</a> of <i>All in the Family</i>. During the first season as <i>Archie Bunker's Place</i>, Bunker takes on a Jewish partner, Murray Klein (<a href="Martin_Balsam" title="Martin Balsam">Martin Balsam</a>), when co-owner Harry Snowden decides to sell his share of the business. Early in the first season, to increase business, Archie and Murray build a restaurant onto the bar: the additions include a separate seating area for the restaurant and a well-equipped kitchen with a service window. Regular patrons include Barney Hefner, Hank Pivnik, and Edgar Van Ranseleer.<sup id="cite_ref-ReferenceA_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Archie Bunker's Place is the sounding board for Archie's views, support from his friends, and Murray's counterpoints. Later in the series, after Murray remarries and leaves for San Francisco, Archie has one of his attorneys, Gary Rabinowitz (<a href="Barry_Gordon" title="Barry Gordon">Barry Gordon</a>), take on the role of business manager. Gary's views are liberal, in contrast to Archie's <a href="Conservatism" title="Conservatism">conservatism</a>.

<p>In December 1978, <a href="Jean_Stapleton" title="Jean Stapleton">Jean Stapleton</a> announced that she did not want to renew her contract at the end of the ongoing ninth season. She felt her character, Edith Bunker, had run its course on the show. At that time, <a href="Norman_Lear" title="Norman Lear">Norman Lear</a>, the creator of <i>All in the Family</i>, wanted the series to end while it was still on top in ratings and critical reception. But <a href="Robert_A._Daly" title="Robert A. Daly">Robert Daly</a>, then vice president of CBS Television, persuaded Carroll O’Connor to continue with <i>All in the Family</i> for at least another year. Daly felt that since the show was still garnering high ratings, it was still valuable to the network and could run at least another year. Since Lear was insistent on ending the program, Daly asked O’Connor to get Lear to reconsider. After meeting with O’Connor, Lear agreed to let the show's characters continue but refused to allow the series to be called <i>All in the Family</i> any longer.

</p><p>As a result, <i>Archie Bunker’s Place</i> was created and the show's plots centered less on Archie's home life and more on his bar and his colleagues and patrons who frequented it. To help with this transition, Stapleton agreed to play Edith on the newly titled series in five appearances during the 1979–80 season. At the start of the next (1980–81) season, Edith died (off screen) and was written out of the series.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Characters">Characters</h2></div>

<ul><li><a href="Carroll_O'Connor" title="Carroll O'Connor">Carroll O'Connor</a> as <a href="Archie_Bunker" title="Archie Bunker">Archie Bunker</a>, a blue-collar worker whose ignorant stubbornness tends to cause his arguments to self-destruct. By the time of <i>Archie Bunker's Place,</i> however, the character has mellowed somewhat and is no longer as explicitly bigoted as he had been during the first seasons of <i>All in the Family,</i> even agreeing to go into business with Murray, who is Jewish, and becoming close friends with him.</li>

<li><a href="Jean_Stapleton" title="Jean Stapleton">Jean Stapleton</a> continued to play Archie's wife <a href="Edith_Bunker" title="Edith Bunker">Edith Bunker</a> when <i>Archie Bunker's Place</i> premiered. The show featured Edith five times during the first 14 episodes of the first season, but Stapleton decided to leave the series late in 1979; her character was referred to but unseen during most of the 1979–80 season. The writers and producers addressed Stapleton's departure in the Season 2 premiere, explaining that Edith had died of a <a href="Stroke" title="Stroke">stroke</a>. Archie reflected on his wife's death and eventually began dating again.</li>

<li><a href="Martin_Balsam" title="Martin Balsam">Martin Balsam</a> as Murray Klein (1979–81). Murray was Archie's Jewish partner, who held <a href="Liberalism" title="Liberalism">liberal</a> views similar to those of Archie's son-in-law <a href="Michael_Stivic" title="Michael Stivic">Michael Stivic</a>. Unlike Mike, Murray was much more tolerant and patient with Archie's views.</li>

<li><a href="Danielle_Brisebois" title="Danielle Brisebois">Danielle Brisebois</a> as <a href="Stephanie_Mills_(All_in_the_Family)" class="mw-redirect" title="Stephanie Mills (All in the Family)">Stephanie Mills</a>, the Jewish daughter of Edith's step-cousin, Floyd Mills. Archie and Edith take Stephanie in after her father, a chronic, unemployed drunk, abandoned her during the final season of <i><a href="All_in_the_Family" title="All in the Family">All in the Family</a>.</i> Stephanie, 10 years old at the start of the series, loved to sing and dance, and her talents were showcased in several episodes.</li>

<li><a href="Celeste_Holm" title="Celeste Holm">Celeste Holm</a> as Estelle Harris (1981–83), Stephanie's wealthy maternal grandmother, who would often be at odds with Archie over his rearing of Stephanie.</li>

<li><a href="Allan_Melvin" title="Allan Melvin">Allan Melvin</a> as Barney Hefner, Archie's best friend and a regular at the bar. Their friendship was first established in 1972 during an episode of <i>All in the Family.</i> Barney was married to a friend of Edith's named Blanche (played by <a href="Estelle_Parsons" title="Estelle Parsons">Estelle Parsons</a>) (although in earlier seasons she was called Mabel). Blanche left Barney numerous times before the couple divorced in 1979, and Barney was ordered to pay alimony.</li>

<li><a href="Danny_Dayton" title="Danny Dayton">Danny Dayton</a> as Hank Pivnik, another regular. He first appeared in 1976 on <i>All in the Family.</i> Hank disappeared without explanation after the 1979–80 season.</li>

<li><a href="Bill_Quinn" title="Bill Quinn">Bill Quinn</a> as Edgar Van Ranseleer<sup id="cite_ref-ReferenceA_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> (a.k.a. "Mr. Van R"), a former schoolteacher and regular at the bar. He was blind, and usually even-tempered. He was very rarely referred to by his first name—almost everyone called him Mr. Van Ranseleer or Mr. Van R. His first appearance was in 1978 on <i><a href="All_in_the_Family" title="All in the Family">All in the Family</a></i>.</li>

<li><a href="Jason_Wingreen" title="Jason Wingreen">Jason Wingreen</a> as Harry Snowden, Archie's former business partner, who continued to work at the tavern as a bartender. Another holdover character from <i>All in the Family</i>, which Wingreen joined in 1976.</li>

<li><a href="Abraham_Alvarez_(actor)" title="Abraham Alvarez (actor)">Abraham Alvarez</a> and Joe Rosario as Jose Perez and Raoul Rosario, two Latin-American immigrants employed as assistant cooks at Archie's bar. Archie later learns they are <a href="Illegal_immigration" title="Illegal immigration">illegal immigrants</a> after they refuse to give a statement to police after having witnessed a mugging.</li>

<li><a href="Anne_Meara" title="Anne Meara">Anne Meara</a> as Veronica Rooney (1979–82), the cook at Archie Bunker's Place. She often made wisecracks and gave Archie a hard time. She insisted that Archie also hire her openly <a href="Gay" title="Gay">gay</a> nephew Fred as a waiter to help him pay for law school. She was an <a href="Alcoholism" title="Alcoholism">alcoholic</a> and privately pined to reconcile with her ex-husband, Carmine (who appeared in a few episodes and was played by Meara's real-life husband <a href="Jerry_Stiller" title="Jerry Stiller">Jerry Stiller</a>), but knew it wasn't going to happen. Meara appeared sporadically throughout the show's third season and left the show before the fourth and final season.</li>

<li><a href="Dean_Scofield" title="Dean Scofield">Dean Scofield</a> (1979–80) as Fred Rooney, a gay waiter, and Veronica's nephew. Quits because of Archie's attitude toward his personal life.</li>

<li><a href="Barbara_Meek" title="Barbara Meek">Barbara Meek</a> as Ellen Canby (1980–82). Ellen was a black housekeeper who was hired by Archie after Edith's death. She also took care of Stephanie, and helped keep Archie's tongue in check. Though Archie still harbored some prejudice toward black people by the time she arrived on the scene, he deeply respected Ellen and was grateful for the job she did in helping to raise Stephanie.</li>

<li><a href="Denise_Miller" title="Denise Miller">Denise Miller</a>, who joined the cast in 1981 as Archie's 18-year-old niece, Barbara Lee "Billie" Bunker. Billie—who worked as a waitress at Archie Bunker's Place—was the daughter of Archie's estranged brother Fred. Her principal love interest was Gary Rabinowitz (see below).</li>

<li><a href="Barry_Gordon" title="Barry Gordon">Barry Gordon</a> (another 1981 addition to the cast) as Jewish lawyer and business manager Gary Rabinowitz. Gary quickly began dating Billie, who was 15 years younger than he. Just like Mike Stivic and Murray Klein before him, Gary's liberal beliefs often contrasted with those of staunchly conservative Archie.</li>

<li><a href="Sally_Struthers" title="Sally Struthers">Sally Struthers</a> returned as Archie's daughter <a href="Gloria_Stivic" title="Gloria Stivic">Gloria Stivic</a> for several episodes. In addition to the 1979 episode "Thanksgiving Reunion," Struthers returned in the 1982 two-part episode "Gloria Comes Home," where she returns from <a href="California" title="California">California</a> with her son, <a href="Joey_Stivic" class="mw-redirect" title="Joey Stivic">Joey</a> after divorcing her husband, <a href="Michael_Stivic" title="Michael Stivic">Mike</a> (who had run off to a <a href="Commune_(intentional_community)" class="mw-redirect" title="Commune (intentional community)">commune</a> in Humboldt County, California, with a college student). The character eventually moved on to her own <a href="Spin-off_(media)" class="mw-redirect" title="Spin-off (media)">spin-off</a> series, <i><a href="Gloria_(American_TV_series)" title="Gloria (American TV series)">Gloria</a></i>. (<b>Note</b>: The original unaired pilot episode to the TV series, which begins with a short appearance by Carroll O'Connor as Archie Bunker, was later repackaged as an <i>Archie Bunker's Place</i> episode.)</li></ul>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2></div>

<p>Unlike <i>All in the Family</i>, which took place largely in the Bunker family home, <i>Archie Bunker's Place</i> was set primarily in the local tavern Archie owned, and was videotaped with the shot of a closed set with multiple cameras, with the best takes being edited together using a <a href="Laugh_track" title="Laugh track">laugh track</a> instead of a live studio audience.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The finished product was then shown to live audiences attending tapings of <i><a href="One_Day_at_a_Time_(1975_TV_series)" title="One Day at a Time (1975 TV series)">One Day at a Time</a></i>, thus providing a laugh track from real laughter for the show.<sup id="cite_ref-Screenrant_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Screenrant-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Production of all seasons of <i>Archie Bunker's Place</i> took place at Studios 31 & <a href="Bob_Barker" title="Bob Barker">Bob Barker</a> Studio at <a href="Television_City" title="Television City">Television City Studios</a> in Hollywood, the original production home of <i>All in the Family</i> for that show's first six seasons.

</p><p>The theme song for <i>Archie Bunker's Place</i> was a re-scored instrumental version by <a href="Ray_Conniff" title="Ray Conniff">Ray Conniff</a> of "Those Were the Days," the long-familiar opening theme to <i>All in the Family</i>. The closing theme, "Remembering You," was a re-scored version of <i>All in the Family's</i> closing theme. Both versions featured a <a href="Dixieland" class="mw-redirect" title="Dixieland">Dixieland</a>-styled arrangement. The opening credits featured a view of the <a href="Queensboro_Bridge" title="Queensboro Bridge">Queensboro Bridge</a>, which connects <a href="Manhattan" title="Manhattan">Manhattan</a> to Queens, followed by shots taken along Steinway Street in Astoria.

</p><p>Carroll O'Connor was frustrated over the cancellation when the show did not have an appropriate closure. He vowed never to work in any type of show with <a href="CBS" title="CBS">CBS</a> again. He would later work for CBS again when he starred in <i><a href="In_the_Heat_of_the_Night_(TV_show)" class="mw-redirect" title="In the Heat of the Night (TV show)">In the Heat of the Night</a></i>; when <a href="NBC" title="NBC">NBC</a> decided not to renew the series it moved to <a href="CBS" title="CBS">CBS</a>, which allowed the series to continue for two more years and have a proper ending.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>The series was briefly rerun on <a href="TV_Land" title="TV Land">TV Land</a> in 2002 and 2003, including the unaired <i>Gloria</i> pilot. The last episode did air in a marathon along with the final episodes of <i>All in the Family</i>, <i><a href="The_Jeffersons" title="The Jeffersons">The Jeffersons</a></i> and <i><a href="Gloria_(American_TV_series)" title="Gloria (American TV series)">Gloria</a></i>. The series is currently shown on <a href="Antenna_TV" title="Antenna TV">Antenna TV</a> as of August 2018, replacing its parent series while it moved to <a href="Get_(TV_network)" title="Get (TV network)">GetTV</a> in January 2018, until it later aired on <a href="MeTV" title="MeTV">MeTV</a> in February 2022, and later MeTV's sister station <a href="Catchy_Comedy" title="Catchy Comedy">Catchy Comedy</a> as of March 2023.

</p><p>Whereas <i>All in the Family</i> had been inspired by a British series, <i><a href="Till_Death_Us_Do_Part_(British_TV_series)" class="mw-redirect" title="Till Death Us Do Part (British TV series)">Till Death Us Do Part</a></i>, the British series would later get a sequel; first, the short-lived <i><a href="Till_Death..." title="Till Death...">Till Death...</a></i>, and then <i><a href="In_Sickness_and_in_Health" title="In Sickness and in Health">In Sickness and in Health</a></i>. <a href="Dandy_Nichols" title="Dandy Nichols">Dandy Nichols</a>, who had played Else Garnett (the British inspiration for Edith Bunker), coincidentally died after the first season of <i>In Sickness and in Health</i>, and the second-season premiere (strongly paralleling "Archie Alone") deals with her widower <a href="Alf_Garnett" title="Alf Garnett">Alf Garnett</a> dealing with grief in much the same way as Archie did with Edith's death.

<p>The series' most notable episode among critics was "Archie Alone," which originally aired November 2, 1980, as a one-hour special to open the second season of the series. In that episode, viewers learn that Edith had died of a stroke a month earlier (<a href="Jean_Stapleton" title="Jean Stapleton">Jean Stapleton</a> had resigned from her role), and Archie is unable to grieve. His refusal to let go of his emotions takes its toll on Stephanie, until one day Archie finds a single slipper of Edith's (overlooked when her clothes were collected for charity) in the bedroom. Holding the shoe, Archie laments aloud that Edith slipped away before he could tell her he loved her, and finally breaks down and cries. Later, after a talk with Stephanie, he agrees to take her to visit Edith's grave, fulfilling the request Stephanie had made to Archie at the beginning of the episode.<sup id="cite_ref-Gitlin2013_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Gitlin2013-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The British TV series <i><a href="In_Sickness_and_in_Health" title="In Sickness and in Health">In Sickness and in Health</a>,</i> the continuation of <i><a href="Till_Death_Us_Do_Part" title="Till Death Us Do Part">Till Death Us Do Part</a></i> on which <i>All in the Family</i> was based, had a similar episode in which Edith's British counterpart, <a href="Else_Garnett" class="mw-redirect" title="Else Garnett">Else Garnett</a>, had died from natural causes. This was not a case of one series copying another; both series were forced to write these deaths due to unexpected departures by the actresses (Stapleton's resignation and <a href="Dandy_Nichols" title="Dandy Nichols">Dandy Nichols</a>' death).

</p>

<p>The first-season episode "Thanksgiving Reunion" marked the final time the original ensemble from <i>All in the Family</i>—O'Connor, Stapleton, <a href="Sally_Struthers" title="Sally Struthers">Sally Struthers</a> and <a href="Rob_Reiner" title="Rob Reiner">Rob Reiner</a>—appeared together. In that episode, Mike announces that he has lost his job as a college professor after his participation in a <a href="Nudity_and_protest" title="Nudity and protest">nude protest</a> of a proposed nuclear power plant became public.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This puts a further strain on his already troubled marriage to Gloria (who at the episode's end lets it slip to Archie that Mike participated only because Gloria did not want to march alone), and foreshadows the Stivics' divorce.

</p><p>Another notable episode was "The Return of Sammy," when <a href="Sammy_Davis_Jr." title="Sammy Davis Jr.">Sammy Davis Jr.</a><sup id="cite_ref-Chidi2014_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Chidi2014-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> comes to the bar and restaurant after Archie calls his talk show. He, like Murray, is surprised that Archie has a Jewish niece. Later, when Sammy chokes on some food, Archie uses the <a href="Heimlich_maneuver" class="mw-redirect" title="Heimlich maneuver">Heimlich maneuver</a> to save Sammy's life. At the end of the episode, Archie and Stephanie simultaneously kiss Sammy, contrasting what happened in the parent show's episode "Sammy's Visit."

</p><p>In a special 1982 episode, which aired immediately after the <a href="Super_Bowl" title="Super Bowl">Super Bowl</a>, baseball superstar <a href="Reggie_Jackson" title="Reggie Jackson">Reggie Jackson</a> almost sues Archie, but decides not to when Jackson realizes the bad press would hurt his career.

</p><p>Later, comedian <a href="Don_Rickles" title="Don Rickles">Don Rickles</a> guest-starred as a crusty boarder named Al Snyder, who rented a room from Archie's friend and neighbor Barney, whose wife Blanche had left him sometime earlier. Highlights of this episode are exchanges combining Rickles' insult humor and his character's curmudgeonly disposition with Archie's sincere but misguided efforts to resolve disputes between Snyder and Barney. Eventually, the Rickles character is exhausted by the constant chatter, takes his medication (again), and decides to rest. The Rickles character drifts off to sleep and dies. The episode ends with Barney pondering whether he will wind up like Mr. Snyder: "Sore at the world, 'cause I'm all alone."

</p><p><i>Mr. Van R:</i>  "What happened?"

</p><p><i>Archie:</i> "Well, sitting around on the floor is the 20 mules from the <i><a href="Death_Valley_Days" title="Death Valley Days">Death Valley Days</a></i>."

</p><p><i>Mr. Van R:</i>  "Sounds like his Cabinet."

</p><p><i>Archie:</i> "Jeez, I guess that's who they was because one of 'em takes off his nosebag -- and it's [then-vice president] <a href="George_H._W._Bush" title="George H. W. Bush">George Bush</a>!  And he says the way to tame El Salvador is to make the damn place into the 49th state."

</p><p><i>Mr. Van R: "</i>Was there any music in this dream?"
