ALL IN THE FAMILY tells the truth
Description
All in the Family: "Everybody Tells the Truth"
Those were the days, but how do YOU remember them? Archie Bunker and Mike disagree on the night's events, leading to an uproariously funny rapid-fire take on the Rashomon episode! And in true All in the Family fashion, this episode still manages to tackle different ways racism can manifest in both liberals and conservatives. We talk about this influential show from the extensive Norman Lear universe (and how Lear himself was a total smokeshow), Carroll O'Connor's roaring, Edith doing pup play, and the criminal underuse of Sally Struthers as Gloria.
