Jean Stapleton never did anything without being paid. She said so on Donny and Marie's talk show.. She was asked to do the Edith voice, and refused unless they paid her. Lost all respect for her. She was a pride.
@carolmanning1333 You lost all respect for Jean Stapleton? Lol! How is that even possible? She was an actress and doing Edith was a job. Would you work for free? On the other side of the coin, why not do a sentence or two? It's not to be questioned. It's a matter of respect. Look at her credits online. Phenomenal actress as was her sister, Maureen.
@@Lieveheersbeestje1962 Archie was able to play against type in "In The HEat Of The Night" in the 80s. Edith was able to play against type in future roles as she was an accomplished theater actress. Meathead pretty much parlayed his success behind the camera as a big director. And Little Girl, well she became the big girl of TV/VCR repair and the starving kids.
Edith has got to be one of the most beloved TV characters of all time. I remember when she died and the world went into mourning. I saw Jean Stapleton in interviews afterward and she tried to play it down but people would just gush about Edith. Of course the character's thoughts and actions are based on the writing but Jean brought the character to life in a masterful and magical way. True artistry. I hope the younger generations and the future does not forget her, both the character and the actress.
I recall the wide scale mourning, too. The show was never the same. I was too young to know anything about ratings but I suspect they noticeably dropped.
1 of my favorite tv Moms. Edith really came around to speaking her peace, with each season. Jean Stapleton brought such a presence and a love for dingbats, LoL. 😊 She earned her Emmys.
There is no way to fully comprehend the brilliance of Jean Stapleton as Edith Bunker!! She is simply without peer as a Television actress. Any time before or since!! A veritable parade of Television Actresses behind her, fighting for the second spot on the podium. This the funniest, most heart wrenching, tear jerking, collection of clips ever witnessed on the small screen. All because of this virtuoso that never failed to make us laugh. And most all, to make us cry. The scene where Louise Jefferson and Edith are saying goodbye could squeeze tears from a Granite Stone!! Surpassed only by the later scene where Edith hides her illness from Archie. That is the greatest scene in the history of this classic series. OR ANY OTHER. The greatest husband and wife team ever to appear on the Small or Big Screen. Is it any wonder that when Edith was written out of the show the Legendary Norman Lear nearly snapped. "She's just a Television Character," Stapleton told him. "Not to me she wasnt," Lear replied. Let's get this straight. JEAN STAPLETON DIDNT PLAY EDITH BUNKER. SHE WAS EDITH BUNKER. The greatest Television Actress of All Time. Now and forever.
All Archie ever really wanted was to come home to the wife he loved, sit in his chair, have a cold adult beverage, and have peace in his house, and you can't hate a guy for that 🥰
BEST sitcom of the 70s. Norman Lear stoled my heart with this sitcom that I watch in these times STILL. All In The Family characters could NOT had been done better by any other actors. RIP Carroll O'Connor. RIP Jean Stapleton. I think Americans fell in love with the sitcom because it had heart in how it addressed serious issues that hit home. But loved Stapleton & O'Connor in other movies & series too. Sad about O'Connor's person life as he got older and what happened to his son and wife. Glad to see Rob Reiner still in the SHOW BIZ. And Thank You Sally Struthers and Jean Stapleton for helping women break through that male dominant barrier. Thankful for the 70s helping American society evolve regarding to women. I just wish America and the world would EVOLVE regarding animals as considered mere objects, harmed & killed.
5) The Games Bunkers Play This segment exemplifies the depth of insight and character of Edith Bunker more than most any other episode. Edith's character as written was profoundly wise and not just a pip or a dingbat. Jean Stapleton brought Edith to life brilliantly for all to see. 🙋🏾♂️💯🤗♥️
With this show, the acting skills are so brilliant., you feel as though you are really watching a real family in their lives. Jean and Carrol especially are excellent to watch. The set is so realistic. The subjects are interesting yet funny. Wonderful show!
Yes, wonderfully cast, and the recast version with Sally Struthers and Rob Reiner was soooo much better than the other two pilots of the same scene and different actors.
Edith was the embodiment of true Christian values of love, compassion and kindness with no judgement. She loved everyone and left God’s business in God’s hands. She wasn’t sanctimonious or pious. She lived her life with love and caring. She treated everyone with kindness, understanding, and respect. There was a natural genteel manner and warmth she possessed. Edith had the innocence of a child with a true wisdom of the heart. I just adored the character and Jean Stapleton.
Archie was the guy we loved to hate, but TWO episodes stand out. WHen he an Mike got locked in the freezer at the bar, and when Edith died. You saw the real humanity in him. I love that stuff, like when Frank Burns got to show HIS humanity and wit those precious few times. As someone who saw a girl I ADORED go off with someone else and marry them (My best friend and she and I are married NOW , so..) I tear up every time I see the scene Hot Lips leaves on her honeymoon . "Goodbye Margaret" . I also have a step Dad like Archie, completely ignorant of the world around him but convinced he knows everything, and then..when you least expected it a wonderful gesture.
No else could have played that role the way Jean Stapleton did. She and Carroll O' Conner had the best chemistry I've ever seen in a television couple. (p.s I adored Edith's wardrobe. Kudos to whoever was responsible for that!)
Major issues addressed with humor and love. Great series during times that seemed more simple yet in reality were not. Character of Edith was heartfelt.
It Seems like if something was important enough to Edith she stood up to Archie The Look Archie had on his face I think Edith was shocked 😲 herself LOL 😆
Edith has shown to women the strength to power through all difficult situations! Her character and attitude shows how to be the best and not let anything bring her character down! Thank you for sharing your strength, Edith!
She really made this show ❤❤❤ I watched it when I was a little girl at my grandparents. Of course back then I didn't realize what was happening and understand it but....... I still loved it.
Jean Stapleton was versatile. She and Marion Ross (of Happy Days) both played the Brewster sisters, the sweet homicidal old ladies in Arsenic and Old Lace.
I lived a few miles from Jean Stapleton’s summer home. I spoke with her just before she left to shoot season 5. I wish I had asked to hug Edith ! I never saw her in person again. She’s buried a block away from the high school I attended.
There’s so many favourite moments it’s hard to choose. But one of mine is when Edith had lost her friend Beverly Lasell when Mike spoke with her and she regained her faith back.
In a rather strange way. Edith reminds me of my late mom. She ❤ her family, her child, neighbours, son-in-law and just about anyone and everyone who crosses her path. She ❤ cooking for her family and always looks at people's good side.
I think a lot of us of a 'certain age' all knew people like Archie and Edith back in the day. You can't tell these kids today how common people like that were 50 years ago.
I just recently watched the Archie Bunker's Place episode where Edith dies. During the scene where Archie started sobbing on Edith's slipper, I cried with him! 😢 Edith was a sweetheart and a wonderful wife to Archie. My advice to you men: if you find a woman who will love you unconditionally and stick by you through thick and thin like Edith, DON'T LET HER GO!
i think with that last one, Carroll really meant it when he said that he was nothing without her. He probably knew Jean was leaving soon, by then, so could have been thinkin about that when he said that.
Yes; that scene and the monologue he does with the slipper in the bedroom after Edith's death have to be his 2 top scenes. Well, maybe the anger he displays in the draft dodger episode too. In the monologue scene his display of grief and anguish is just so believable that you can't even tell he's acting. You know, I saw that when it first ran when I was in high school and I cried and I STILL tear up when I see it.
In the first season, this really was mostly the Archie Bunker Show rather than true ensemble acting. by season two Edith is a full fledged three dimensional character. Its impossible to separate O'Connors work in any given scene from Stapleton's or vice versa. So generous and comfortable are they in their scenes, each with the other, that they perform seamlessly as a single acting unit. They both move between humor and pathos so effortlessly.
And to think we had to wait a whole week for the next episode. I truly miss that time in history. Maybe because I was a kid, but life did seem simpler then.
I ❤that last scene! When you truly love another person you know it because they make you a better person just by being with them.. I was blessed enough to find this person..
It's kinda sad that it took Edith being SICK for Archie to realize n I quote " if the whole world went to the dogs as long as I have you by my side, I've been blowing my own horn for alot of years, I ain't nothing without you"!! Sad is she died!! broke my ❤️ heart!!!!
Edith Bunker is such a Hufflepuff, a person who always does the right thing, not for any benefit to themselves, but because its simply the right thing to do.
In a further comment, you can't really put the best of Edith Bunker on a video. There are no week long videos in existence!! Jean Stapleton was simply on another level from mere mortals.

She was the heart of the show
Heart & soul of the show
Jean Stapleton never did anything without being paid. She said so on Donny and Marie's talk show.. She was asked to do the Edith voice, and refused unless they paid her. Lost all respect for her. She was a pride.
Totally, she was SUBLIME, a consummate actress as was Carol I Connor ❤❤

That last scene is such a tear jerker. Wow. A truly beautiful moment. They are both so good, you actually believe they are a real couple. Amazing.

Archie really loved Edith. She was a hoot and so much smarter than people gave her credit for.
💯👀💅🏾💙🥹
Actions speak louder than words,
❤❤❤
I about choked when I saw Rue 😂😂😂I forgot she was on this episode
I'm sure Mike and Gloria always knew how smart she was. 😊❤

I have told my daughter (18 yo) about Edith Bunker and had her watch the show since she was 10 . She knows all about her and I am so glad I did!
That's great to know! Most kids/young people these days would have a stroke trying to get through just one episode of this series lol. 😂
Edith Bunker.....the most decent character to ever grace our TV screens
She reminds me so much of my own wonderful mother.....
Affirmative.
Rose Nylund is a close second 😂
Big facts

Very Well Said😢
They left out the best one: the episode where Edith tells Archie to stifle.
When she’s going through the change 😂😂😂
Edith had a way of standing up to Archie that made her sound noble and dignified 👏
All Archie ever really wanted was to come home to the wife he loved, sit in his chair, have a cold adult beverage, and have peace in his house, and you can't hate a guy for that 🥰
Amen
Really?
Right on.he earned it ❤
His face...😂😂😂😂😂
Stellar acting...from Jean and Carroll
Edith, what a gem, loyal to her family, filled with love towards others and flowing with kindness, and consideration for others, she warms our heart.❤
Edith:” put the phone down,dammit!” Lol!
Always loved Edith, even when I was a little girl and I am almost 61. 😊🌞☀️
That last one " I ain't nothin without you" got me misty eyed.
She was one of a kind! Thank you for sharing!
Did I ever tell you I love you!!! Am I the only one who shed a tear?
'Every minute we've spent together.' I'd give anything to have just ONE friend like Edith and Louise.
My favorite is when she is going thru the change of life!! STIFLE,STIFLE,STIFLE!!
Mine too!! 😂😂😂
One of mine too
My favorite too
BEST sitcom of the 70s. Norman Lear stoled my heart with this sitcom that I watch in these times STILL.

One of the greatest of all time..
Terrific writing. So touching.
The fact that even Edith was surprised about what she just said sometimes. xD
She really did have some great moments.
This was one of all time favorites and it was never really the same after Edith died.

This is a series I would watch many times over. Thank you!
She has always been one of my all time favorite TV characters ❤.. the whole show was great
Thank you for all the memories! Love them all!
"In front of the kids?" I love the disappointment like never he did worse. It just too cute.
That was vintage, Archie! Lol
I know right 😂
My wonderful grandma was so much like Edith. Sweetheart and timid. She favored her. The last card my granddaddy gave her he wrote to Edith.
Awww
Definitely a genuine heart my auntie was just like her just sweet
Awwww she was a gem for sure
Edith was the embodiment of true Christian values of love, compassion and kindness with no judgement. She loved everyone and left God’s business in God’s hands. She wasn’t sanctimonious or pious.

One of the realest tv characters in history.
I think it's rare that a TV character has such a strong and meaningful affect on culture across the generations like Edith did.

Major issues addressed with humor and love. Great series during times that seemed more simple yet in reality were not.
Character of Edith was heartfelt.
We need more Edith's in this world!!!
The greatest sitcom ever the greatest show was the change of life
Love Edith!! 🥰
JeanStapleton greatest actress of all time

Sally Struthers Gloria Bunker
Edith Archie and Gloria I Liked
Never really cared for Meat Head I Felt Like He didn't show Archie Too much Respect to be in Archie House

Good point
Its about time!!!! Go Edith!!
Edith has shown to women the strength to power through all difficult situations! Her character and attitude shows how to be the best and not let anything bring her character down! Thank you for sharing your strength, Edith!
Great 😃👍 Sitcom. Never be another one PERIOD.
She really made this show ❤❤❤ I watched it when I was a little girl at my grandparents. Of course back then I didn't realize what was happening and understand it but....... I still loved it.
I will forever wish the world had more Edith!! The best show ever!!!!❤❤❤
Jean Stapleton was versatile. She and Marion Ross (of Happy Days) both played the Brewster sisters, the sweet homicidal old ladies in Arsenic and Old Lace.
It never fails. A whole video on Edith and the thing that gets me laughing uncontrollably is Isabel Sanford's expression at 09:56.
Amazing woman.! I have always loved her ❤
I lived a few miles from Jean Stapleton’s summer home. I spoke with her just before she left to shoot season 5. I wish I had asked to hug Edith ! I never saw her in person again. She’s buried a block away from the high school I attended.

Expressions on Edith’s face were priceless 🤣
"I refuse to call Estelle."
**Applause from the kitchen.** 😂

I just recently watched the Archie Bunker's Place episode where Edith dies.

My advice to you men: if you find a woman who will love you unconditionally and stick by you through thick and thin like Edith, DON'T LET HER GO!
I think Edith Bunker is the personification of kindness.
"We'll have a plate of some of that Veal Scalapippi." Love Archie's way of mispronouncing words!
Ohhhh I missed those days watching our favorite show.. We love them for ever❤❤
the scene with louise, so ,long, was beautiful
Sweetest character! Loved her.
I really enjoyed this this was my grandma RIP she and Edith was identical twins just one white and the other black on God!!!
Jean Stapleton was always an incredible actress. God bless her

The close-ups of the characters added a realistic drama to the show. Made the Best Sit-com ever.
I ❤that last scene!
When you truly love another person you know it because they make you a better person just by being with them.. I was blessed enough to find this person..
I remember when I was young watching this show and I always wondered why Edith stayed with him. As I got older, I understood.
It's kinda sad that it took Edith being SICK for Archie to realize n I quote " if the whole world went to the dogs as long as I have you by my side, I've been blowing my own horn for alot of years, I ain't nothing without you"!!
Sad is she died!! broke my ❤️ heart!!!!
I remember as a kid laying on floor watching the series with my Mom and Pop. Miss it.
Edith Bunker is such a Hufflepuff, a person who always does the right thing, not for any benefit to themselves, but because its simply the right thing to do.
I like finally seeing the PRISTINE COLOR LOOK IN THESE EPISODES.
I don’t like to sound corny but Edith was the glue that held the family together.
I love Edith ❤️ what a Beautiful Heart & Soul 😊
The Greatest sitcom of all time 🎥😂😂
Her character was way ahead of her time in so many ways.
I disagree. Edith Bunker is timeless.
The end was so sweet 😢
I Love the innocent of these old shows. Good clean tv shows
The last episode of SEASON 9 was a bit heartbreaking but so sweet . Edith was such a beautiful soul. The ending was so wonderful.
I wished Edith and Archie would’ve had a chance to cross over into the Jefferson’s to visit them at their penthouse in manhattan 😊
They were áll absolutely excellent!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Few comedians can make you laugh more than these series!
Remember Isabel Sanford(louise) said she was scared to leave that show, loved Jean Stapleton.
A favorite show as a kid. There were so many in the 70s. They were all good
Edith…a real pip!! 😂
I know I probably seen lame for even asking lol but what does PIP stand for?
@@michellesmith4570
It was sarcasm for a real prize
Edith is my favorite ❤❤❤😊
Edith was far from stupid..she was really very smart..and her wisdom was "something else"..LOL
In a further comment, you can't really put the best of Edith Bunker on a video. There are no week long videos in existence!! Jean Stapleton was simply on another level from mere mortals.
Made me cry 😢
How can anyone not shed a tear or two or three at the very last scene? Iconic TV couple! 🥰💖
Not like the one's on TV today.
I spent a lot of time disliking archi but seeing him love for Edith makes me see some good things about him.
I started watching "All in the Family" since my teens~~All the sitcoms that have been out Edith was always my favorite Mom~~Irreplaceable~~💗💗💗
I"m tearing up,he said I ain't nothing without you
The golden age of television will never be equaled.
Edith and Louis saying goodbye did it for me.. blubber baby
Me too, such a beautiful friendship at a time when their friendship wasn’t common
You Edith, are something else.😂❤
I have a grandmother that acts just like Edith. Who els has a Edith in there life
