The highest Nielsen-rated TV program

The highest Nielsen-rated TV program from 1971 to 1976, All Inherited is widely regarded as one of the biggest TV sitcoms ever produced. Inspired because of the Flintstones along with the Honeymooners, All In The Family devoted to the weekly antics of that own loud-mouth, politically-incorrect Fred Flintstone/Ralph Kramden clone, and like his predecessors, Archie Bunker has a hidden sensitive side. Ingeniously written and downright hilarious, All In the household established new ground for TV sitcoms with its willingness to consider the taboo social issues of the day. Topics covers included bigotry, racism, homosexuality, sexism, death, and other namby-pam, commie-lib feminist ideals (at the very least that's how Archie would say it!) An authentic mammoth from the history of TV, All In The Family also generated a pair of highly successful spin-offs: Maude along with the Jeffersons?br />

The All Inherited (Season 2) DVD offers a quantity of hilarious episodes for example the season premiere "The Saga of Cousin Oscar" in which Archie's Cousin Oscar arrives in Queens for a visit. Considering him a lazy, do-nothing, Archie isn't pleased to be playing host to Oscar (whom we never actually see), and also the irritation is further amplified when Oscar dies within the upstairs bedroom. Now mourners fill Archie's house, and he must decide whether or not to plan a funeral?Other notable episodes from Season 2 include "Cheap DVD Sale" where Archie purchases a handgun for protection just to have two robbers apply it against him, and "The Election Story" during which Mike and Gloria vociferously campaign for the liberal candidate while Archie throws his hat along with the opposition candidate.
