ALL IN THE FAMILY - The Dinner Guest

Air Date/Released Sunday, March 12, 1978
Station/Studio CBS / Tandem Productions

Racist and lower-middle class family man Archie Bunker deals with the changing times of the 1970s, along with his naive, devoted and kind-hearted wife Edith. Daughter Gloria and her left-wing activist husband Mike bring conflict to Archie's life.

While waiting for their move to a new life in California, Mike, Gloria and Joey temporarily move back into the Bunker household. Edith prepares a farewell dinner for the Stivics, and is heartbroken to learn that Mike's accepted a dinner date with the dean of his new college. Sharing a cramped bathroom, Archie and Mike fight over the shaving mirror, and argue over the prior night's TV selections. Archie watched THE THREE STOOGES MEET FRANKENSTEIN, while a stooge-hating Mike watched HAMLET. Touting the virtues of three damn funny guys, Archie performs the nostril pull on Mike.
