Information
All
in the Family was a very successful and controversial
show. It also had a varied audience. Liberal-minded
people watched the show to laugh at Archie and
to see how things had changed. While less open-minded
people agreed with Archie's racist and ignorant
ways.
All in the Family also spawned a couple different
television shows. Archie's next door neighbors,
the Jeffersons - ended up 'moving on up to the
East Side' with their television show "The Jeffersons."
Bea Arthur also appeared on the show as Edith's
cousin, Maude. She was a great source of conflict
with Archie with her liberal opinions. She must
have impressed audiences, because "Maude" got
her own show in 1972.
