Archie Bunker's Place

1979–1983 · 4 seasons

A gentle, talky sitcom that ambles through barroom banter and generational friction, offering easy laughs and a nostalgic, low-stakes warmth.

Created by: Johnny Speight, Norman Lear
Genres: Comedy
Starring: Carroll O'Connor, Danielle Brisebois, Allan Melvin

Overview: Archie Bunker's Place is an American sitcom originally broadcast on the CBS network, conceived in 1979 as a spin-off and continuation of All in the Family. While not as popular as its predecessor, the show maintained a large enough audience to last for four seasons, until its cancellation in 1983. In its first season, the show performed so well that it knocked Mork & Mindy out of its new Sunday night time slot.
