Product Description
By the fourth season Norman Lear's landmark series ALL IN THE FAMILY was on its way to becoming an American institution. It consistently ranked number one in the ratings while at the same time breaking all of prime time TV's taboos. Archie Bunker's (Carroll O'Conner) shocking politically incorrect diatribes marriage problems for Mike (Rob Reiner) and Gloria (Sally Struthers) a breast cancer scare for Edith (Jean Stapleton) all broke with sitcom conventions. In the fourth season Archie was hilariously faced with two worthy new opponents: neighbor Irene Lorenzo (betty Garrett) a staunch believer in women's rights and loud-mouthed George Jefferson (Sherman Hemsley) soon to star in the spin-off hit series "The Jeffersons." Rob Reiner won an Emmy® Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series and the show was nominated for four other Emmy® Awards for the fourth season.System Requirements:Starring: Carroll O'Conner Jean Stapleton Rob Reiner Sally Struthers Running Time: 608 Min.

I love All in the Family - it makes me laugh at each and every show. Great - I would recommend to anyone to purchase if you need to lighten your day.
totally incomprehensible--but it makes a lot of sense August 19, 2009

All in the Family's fourth season certainly gave us terrific entertainment; and even though the quality of the transfer to DVD isn't perfect I still recommend this for anyone who enjoys high quality control comedy. These episodes may have been filmed way back when but they're still every bit as hilarious now as they were then. Yes, some of the most biting shock value is gone but the jokes remain fresh and the poignant scenes (of which there were many) still standout as great theater. The fourth season comes in a three DVD box set with a list of the episodes along with a couple of sentences that tell you in general what each episode is about.
Although all the episodes are really very funny and occasionally quite moving, there are a few episodes that stick out in my mind as being particularly well done.
"Henry's Farewell" Henry Jefferson is moving away from the neighborhood and neither George nor Archie is willing to host an integrated farewell party in their homes for Henry. When the party finally goes underway at Archie's house, look for great comedy and some very touching moments. An outstanding episode.
"We're Having a Heat Wave" This is a two part episode that shows just how frustrated The Bunkers and The Stivics can get with each other when "the heat is on." This two part episode also introduces Irene and Frank Lorenzo (Betty Garrett and Vincent Gardenia) to The Bunkers; The Lorenzos eventually take the place of The Jeffersons who will move out of the neighborhood (and onto their own spin-off show).
"Archie and the Computer" Archie learns that he is dead--because of a hole punched into a computer card. Archie tells them to fill in the hole!
"Black is the Color of My True Love's Wig" Gloria is incensed when she thinks Michael likes being alone with her only if she wears her new wig.
"Second Honeymoon" This is one of my very favorite episodes ever. Archie and Edith have a fight over what they're going to do for their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. Edith wins the fight and she decides how they'll spend their time alone together.
"Archie Feels Left Out" Archie has a mid-life crisis; he insists that his next birthday is number forty-nine, and not fifty.
"Lionel's Engagement" This is one of the funniest episodes of this season. Just wait until George Jefferson finds out that his future daughter-in-law has a white father and a black mother!
"Archie Eats and Runs" The Bunkers become hysterical when Edith thinks she may have accidentally bought poisonous mushrooms for Archie's dinner. What happens when they get to the hospital?
"Pay the Twenty Dollars" A fight erupts over some potentially counterfeit money. How will The Jeffersons and The Bunkers ever resolve their dispute?
All in all, this is one heck of a season of All in the Family. I highly recommend this three DVD set.
 Great show, lousey quality August 4, 2009

This show stands up in every way, even 35 years later. But the quality of the picture is terrible-- the images could be sharper, and there is a constant band of green discoloration about 1/2 way up the screen. How Sony let this happen is beyond me.
All In The Family is a classic! July 27, 2009
Maryjo (USA)
I love this show! Even though it was filmed in the 70's, there are still lessons that can be learned in today's times. Fantastic writers and cast!
Great Sitcom! January 11, 2009
