All in the Family

All in the Family is a popular and acclaimed American situation comedy that was originally broadcast on the CBS television network from January 12, 1971 until April 8, 1979, when the final original episode aired. In September 1979, the show was retooled and given a new name, Archie Bunker's Place. With that title, the sitcom lasted another four years, finally ending its run in 1983.

Trivia

• Archie and Edith's chairs are now in the Smithsonian. Originally purchased by the show's set designer for a few dollars at a local Goodwill, the originals were given to the Smithsonian (for an exhibit on American television history) during the late 1970s, about halfway through the show's run. It cost producers several thousand dollars to create replicas to replace the originals on the show's set.
