Today In History

200th episode of the television show 'All in the Family'

ALL IN THE FAMILY Debuted on January 12, 1971 This was a groundbreaking show. All In The Family became one of the most influential comedies in television history and made an immediate impact on the entire television industry. It pioneered a whole new brand of realistic, frank and hard-hitting satire based on the real world. The sitcom revolves around blue-collar worker Archie Bunker and his family. Bigoted, opinionated and uneducated, Archie makes no bones about his racial and political views, which are borne out of every negative stereotype imaginable. His "better half," his wife Edith, who he not-too-affectionately refers to as "Dingbat," is ditzy and subservient, but her sweetness and good heart provide a perfect balance for the harsh character of Archie. Also residing in the Bunker house are Archie's daughter Gloria and her college student/husband Michael. Starring Carroll O'Connor, Jean Stapleton, Sally Struthers, and Rob Reiner
