Archie Bunker's Place

Archie Bunker's Place was a CBS sitcom that had previously been known as All in the Family. In 1979, All in the Family was retooled, and renamed as Archie Bunker's Place. While not as popular as All in the Family, the show was popular enough with fans to last four seasons, until 1983. Some sources consider it to be a separate series (i.e., a spin-off of All in the Family), while others consider it to be a continuation of the earlier program.

In this series, Archie Bunker had purchased his favorite tavern, Kelsey's Place, from its owner when his health declined. Archie soon renamed the tavern Archie's Place. While some scenes were still set in the Bunker home, more of the action took place at the bar, which served as a sounding board for Archie's views. This series was reminiscent of a 1950s radio and TV sitcom called Duffy's Tavern which also featured a blue collar tavern owner named Archie who commented on life and society with a group of colorful characters.
