The All in the Family Cast Salutes the Family Viewing Hour, 1975!!!!

- Backstory: The Family Viewing Hour, which was in effect from 1975 thru 1977, was mandated by the FCC to have the networks show ONLY family-friendly programming from 8 to 9 PM ET, since there was too much sex and violence on the tube during those hours.. (This ruling was rescinded two years later, in 1977.) This ruling forced Norman Lear, creator of "All in the Family," to move the show from its 8 PM Sat. time slot to 9 PM on Monday nights. The cast of "All in the Family" did a little in-house "tribute" to the Family Viewing our, with their new "1975 version" of the show's opening theme song...and here it is! This clip never aired, it was only performed live before a studio audience.
The running gag always was that Edith couldn't sing, but Jean Stapleton was actually a classically trained singer, & showed what a beautiful voice she really did have in this clip.
She was beautiful all around. A talented singer, actress, you name it....
"All In the Family" was and continues to be the best television show in history.
IT sure is! I miss then so much growing up
And based on the British comedy, 'Til Death Us Do Part'
No one with a brain would argue that. The BEST sitcom ever!
Agreed.
@@honeycone71even though the great carroll O’Connor doesn’t call it a sitcom.
Carroll O'connor's facial expressions were priceless.
I agree ! Carrol O’Connor the best ! It does not get better than this!!
He was a pure legend.
It's strange to hear Jean Stapleton singing in her normal (and beautiful) singing voice!
Snoopy's Biggest Fan she also played the piano too, very obvious here.
Have you seen her appearance on the Mike Douglas Show with Cher? Cher and Jean sing together!!

She was a veteran of Broadway musicals.
Holy shit that was epic as hell. They had a good time with that one
You really have to use profanity?
This seems even more appropriate in 2023 than it did in 1975.
@@daboys1215 That's a bit scary.
Carroll O'Connor - one of the most talented and greatest actors of all times . I watch the re-runs of the show just to enjoy his acting....
Believe me, Jean Stapleton was an incredibly gifted actress as well.
He was an AMZING person and actor.
Me, too. I watch with my ten year old daughter. She half gets it sometimes...but she does get it it when I say, "Damn....he was so good."
The stars of CBS were battling with the network at this time, regarding the family hour and censorship. This seems like a dig at CBS, the “after 9 o’clock”. Love this.
No. it was a dig at the FCC ruling which forced CBS to move the show to 9 PM rather than neuter it.
BRILLIANT!!!!! Thank you so much for posting this! And you'll notice Jean was singing with HER voice, not Edith's.
These were the days. I love this first time I seen it
The 1970's era of television. Boy, those were the days. In that time, almost everything was close to being less censored compared to today. This video of "These Are The Days" is quite a stinging commentary about that time and I find it very, very hilarious.
Looking back at the 1960s and 1970s, I took for granted all the great TV shows and songs that came out, now I only watch the "Got Talent" shows and NBC Nightly News and that's it. I am watching 50s-60s-70s TV shows on DVD now. Right now I am in the middle of watching the entire Mod Squad (1968-73) series. Last month I watched all of Naked City (1958-63). After that I want to watch the Alfred Hitchcock Presents TV series DVDs I have.
Where do you get that from? You missed the entire point of the song. You know, all the network still have censors employed, including cable channels, don’t you?
@@dangelo1369 Well, that may be somewhat true. But it depends on which network, both regular and cable, that has some department of standards and practices that were the censors.
@@robertpolanco1973 No it doesn’t. Every network has censors, every network has to adhere standards and practices guidelines of the FCC.
@@dangelo1369 Well, EXCUSE ME for that! Jeez!
I was 12 years old in 1975. 1975 was a great year! I love all in the family! My favorite show.
11 and me too.
I was 14. I can still hear my father's belly laugh when Archie said something outrageous. Fun times.
I love this. OMG, to think VD and living together unwed was the big worry - they should be around to do a 2020 version! I remember '75 so well. A wonderful time to be a kid. America was still America. We didn't get paranoid by the media or overwhelmed with technology and ever growing debt yet. People still had humor. Like Robert Plant sang "do you remember laughter?"
I went back and looked at old tv themes song lyrics, try it you see how some tv tried to shape people’s ideas. All those days gave rise to these days. 😕 we did not see it back then.
@@wallrusmoose2111 Yes. By the early '60's media seemed to be innocently trying to break barriers. It was the seemingly insignificant crack in the dam. Society wanted to go backwards after that time and we continuing to race in that direction.
To all those individuals who said, thought and wrote that All In The Family was the greatest TV show of ALL time.... well... you all were and are absolutely correct!!!!!!
Timeless. Still as relevant today as it was then. Gosh I sure do miss Carroll O'Connor.
I hadn't seen this until about 15 minutes ago. Now I've seen it 5 times, and it keeps getting funnier. 😂😂😂😂😂
Oh, this is so fantastic! The company of All In The Family is amazing.
Definitly a rare gem! This is hilarious, yet so true! Haha, nice little song they all sung here, I love it!
By the time Family Viewing Hour was started, CBS ceased production on the 20-year old Gunsmoke after the episode, The Sharecroppers.
This is so brilliant, a perfect jab at the FCC. AITF was clearly the best satirical comedy ever created. I'm just guessing here but I would bet that O'Connor wrote this with the possible input of Reiner.
I think so. Apparently, the episode they were performing, for the audience wasn't working, so, on the spot, Carroll, Rob, and likely Jean and Sally worked on something unique. I saw the full piece but the film was choppy so they took it down. I guess that was the reason. The full skit was hilarious!
Whomever it was that kept the cameras running to record this, God bless them!!!
It was scripted and taped for the 1975 Emmy Awards.
@@opusmax1 : I have been "schooled" by your comment. 👍👍TYSVM.
Man - where has this version of All In the Family song been hiding??? 🙂 This is great and sadly all too true.
Had never seen this before. Thank you
How on earth did you find this? Amazing! Thanks for the upload of this rare footage.
Bravo!! Absolutely!!!! Brilliant!!! 👏👏👏👏👏? Encore!!! Jean Stapleton and Carroll O'Connor...... seasoned! And no has been able to copy it!!! Ever!!!
Absolutely the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What amazing talent and script writing !
I've been a fan of this show since it aired the first episode. Long time! I had no idea this song existed. Very funny! I miss Carroll the most. He reminded me if my father!😄They're all icons.
In my 52 years I have never seen this. OMG this is good shit, right there.
Greatest television show in history
Archie has a nice smile in this segment, he wasn't a bad looking man, really.I liked him on In the Heat of the Night.Gloria looks funny with glasses.
You're right, He is cute
Not that you're hung up on looks or anything!
You can see a much earlier Carroll in the TV series Naked City (1958-63), and Jean as well in that series. Episodes are on you tube.
Aww, my Mother watched this when she was a kid.
She was 14 at the time.
Living in Manhattan NYC in the 1960’s and 1970’s
Brilliant! Thanks for posting!❤
Thanks for the upload. A favourite vid now.
I was 15 in 1975 grow up on watching all in the family love them always..
*after 9 o'clock" 😂😂😂
1975: Robert can propose to Bill, but only after 9 o'clock.
2019: Mr. Ratburn marries his same-sex partner on a show for preschoolers.
We've come a long way since All in the Family's time. A LONG way.
We have come a long way on television
Oh my God. I remember seeing this in high school 27 years ago! I've been looking for it ever since!
Ron Motta unless you were in the studio audience when it was recorded, no you didn’t. It never aired.
I want to go to your high school! The only thrill I got at school watching TV was one time we watched five minutes of I Love Lucy when the teacher was prepping us to watch a documentary.
Carroll O'Connor's facial expression at 0:46 😂😂😂
OMG! That was awesome! First time seeing. Such fun!
Man, Sally was so hot back then. I'm wondering, if this clip never aired where did this come from?
I have seen stuff on TH-cam that must have been saved by the people who ran the boards. So if this was for the live audience, the producers taped it anyhow but just didn't air it. I love it!!!
Copied/Pasted from the above description: This clip never aired, it was only performed live before a studio audience.
@@user-mj8nf2vp7q But it still doesn't explain why it was taped. That's why I said what I said.
This sitcom was way ahead of its time. Normal Lear was a genius.
Thanks so much for this! Same-sex marriage, though, was illegal in'75, Carroll O'Connor's solo at 0:42 notwithstanding. It wouldn't be legal nationwide for another 40 years.
Robert can still propose to Bill. It doesn't have to be legal...
@@martijnspruitYeah, guess you're right.
@@martijnspruit After 9o'clock! lol
I do wish the average viewer out there understood that Carroll O’Connor was a liberal, educated, and eclectic. Too often they eagerly tuned in because they missed the point of the show. To this day, right wingers on TH-cam falsely portray All in the Family as having been an experiment in spreading hate, instead of what it really was for: widening the TV medium to look at relevant issues. People who are clearly racists will steer their recruits toward AITF scenes, then laud the Archie character for making slurs. A dangerous identity theft of a great progressive show.
All in the Family was almost Blazing Saddles as far as the twist both movie and series played to the idiocy; illustrating absurdity by being absurd.
I recall an interview Carroll O'Connor had with Dick Clark, of all people. Apparently, he used to be a teacher.
If you type Carroll's name and then Dean Martin, Carroll played against his iconic character on the Dean Martin variety show and it was so funny!
Sammy Davis Jr. got the joke
Sherman Hemsley (George Jefferson) got it. I think the black community was a good distance ahead of those who rooted for Archie. The morons who rooted for Archie in the early seasons must've been royally cheesed off when Archie started turning a corner.
@@JohannaLeigh Carroll O'Connor did a little remembered TV ad for the struggling George McGovern campaign in 1972. But the audacious thing about it was -- he seemed to be doing the ad as Archie, not himself. He was seated in a chair, if not _the chair_ and he wore a plain white work shirt. McGovern noted the ad at a rally, and on second reference, called his endorser "Archie Bunker," in a last desperate effort to stave off his rejection by white working class voters. ... I'll check that Dean Martin skit. Sounds fascinating.
i've seen every episode of ALL IN THE FAMILY several times but for some reason have never seen this
Um, they're breaking the 4th wall at every angle. This wasn't from an episode.
Never knew this existed till today. Excellent!
LOVE THIS! :)
That was hilarious! Those.two greats will always be sorely missed!! Loved that show!!
LLMMMAAAAOOOOOOOOO!!!
After all these years and never saw this? Perfect timing in this climate...
John-boy can have VD?!?!?! ha!!! :D
Like Archie would say: "Whatever...."
Greatest cast of characters on a TV show ever! Indeed, those were the days.
Jim5150jvc what is VD
I think he said John Voight (Midnight Cowboy) . Nope... you were right. I watched the full segment and listened to the song. It's family (t.v) hour so it wouldn't make sense to say John Voight. I just can't imagine The Walton's ever doing an episode like that. I don't think they did, either. It was just a WHAT IF.
Then again, I didn't see the later seasons of The Walton's. Sooooooo
Venerial Disease. It's a sexually transmitted 'infection' which, nowadays, is fixed. And it's pretty small time next to Aids.
Plus a quick vasectomy....AFTER 9 O CLOCK!!
That was so hillarious.
these are the days. they only got worse Arch!!
i think you missed the point
@@joejoe9435 and you knew where you where then!!!
I liked it better when girls were girls and men were men.
@@joejoe9435 lol i met to say those where the days
Depends on who you were, if times got better or worse.
This is a treasure!
Love it
after 9 pm. haha. wonderful what time they were on air. i was a year for most of 1975.
funniest thing I've seen in ages!! LOL
2/20/22: So. . . .🙂🙂to find THIS!!👏🏻👏🏻Certainly serves as a fix for my ANGRY mood😬😬😬😬😬😬😬!!!
now this would of been perfect final season credits for the intro
i would have been 14 when this was done..dont remember it but it is great
This definitely never aired on TV, I'm not sure it even aired years later during any All In The Family Reunion specials. It may be like those Blooper reels you see of the Mary Tyler Moore Show and MASH, etc. on you tube. They were never meant to be seen by the general public.
I wish I could find the lyrics to these somewhere. Part of it I can't understand what they're saying.
Note that Jean didn't use the Edith screeching voice. She must have enjoyed that!
need to do a 2023 version
This is sooo gooooood
This is pretty funny. I bet the FCC was none too pleased, which would have been very funny.
Doesn't matter, because this never aired....was an in-house production.
awesome
Mike and Gloria should never have left.
epic
Glad Archie ain't around to see these days!
Well he might've loved these days because in real life Carroll O'Connor was like that meathead Rob Reiner and quite frankly Jean Stapleton too because he like them was a commie demorat so, things like these terrorists like black lies matter and antifa that you see today would've probably tickled him pink.
@Kevin Lee says the "man" who supports the political party that founded slavery and the KKK
@Kevin Lee obviously you're not if you don't support a president who has done more for Americans and America than any other Republican president in u.s history. Trump is the greatest president ever
@Kevin Lee you a a R.I.N.O just like that other R.I.N.O John shit stain McCain you are no republican if you do not support president Trump end of story. And I look at them like this if you ever become a demorat then you ass is out of my house that's how I look at my kids in their eyes 😁
@Kevin Lee correction hes not a fraud he's a billionaire who's richer than you and he is your president that's who Donald Trump is and if you say he's not then you're not an American so get the hell out of my country.
Two men can get married now.
This is a funny video!
Classic
The poor man behind the camera, how hard it must've been to keep the camera still
Rob Reiner and Sally. Struthers has Great Singing Voices. They should've participated in the Original Theme with Archie and Edith.
Struthers.
@@ItWILLbeWONDERFUL_THERE Thanks for the correction that was mistake due to a phone issue.
Wasn't there an All In The Family LP record that came out around 1972? When all the talk about Archie Bunker For President was going on? I remember MAD Magazine came out with a record that spoofed All In The Family.
The lyrics wouldn’t have made sense with Sally Struthers and Rob Reiner. It would’ve been a different song or they would’ve had to add verses or something.
@@jeffreyantonson8029 They could redo the show with Meathead and Gloria with Joey and his ultra conservative wife
1975 is Romper Room compared to 2020.....

After 9 O'Clock
Gem
Luckily, if John Boy did have V.D., Kurt was an M.D.! And Mary Ellen a nurse!! In 1970 CBS cancelled everything with a tree!!! The rural purge! They get rid of all the good wholesome "family" shows, and act like they care about a "family" hour!! All In The Family being the perfect example!!! And they care even less now - (Two 1/2 Men)! Hey tiffany network - you're tarnished! The Waltons being the exception to the rule!!
They didn't care...that was the whole point of this lampooning of it. Rich Little's show did it too with the "Family Hour Fairy."
@@ApartmentKing66 I get it, that's why I said "act like they care about a family hour"!
Yep, that's how Jed Clampett ended up Barnaby Jones...although they waited until '72 before giving The Beverly Hillbillies the old heave-ho! Green Acres, Petticoat Junction were gone even before then.
@@user-mj8nf2vp7q The Beverly Hillbillies ended its original run in 1971.
At :33 “folks go to the WHAT? now.” Can’t understand that word.
Yes this is a scream. Hilarious satire on censorship
Terlet that's Queen's for toilet
For you youngens, the Fanily Hour really was a thing but didn't last long.
July 27, 1922...a date which will live in infamy...for conservatives.
Happy 100th birthday, Norman Lear! 🎂
He's with his buddy Karl marx
If it was only shown live, where's the footage from?
it was filmed live, but recorded , as with most shows
alwayssme ALL shows are filmed live
@@TheDieselbutterfly LIVE AUDIENCES.
@@lemurianchick you must be the life of all the parties
Where did you get this?
John boy could have ed, they was wild for that one.too funny 🤣
Actually, it was “VD”(venereal disease, now called STD/STI).
Can anyone provide lyrics? The middle is a bit hard to make out
I think they are saying "And we can all say prune juice, tush, and potty out loud."
Those really were the days. We may have had a recession, inflation, and high unemployment but we had fun in spite of it all. How else could we have got through all that misery without some laughter 😂
Oh and don't forget the Son of Sam! It was long and hot and humid summer of 1977.
rtususian That’s right. SOS, a heat wave, and then a blackout that invited looters for three days. I swear there was a black cloud over NY that year...until Star Wars arrived! 😃
@@mariogiresi6792 I'm old enough to remember the NYC blackout of November 1965! My father was on his way home from work on the train and it stopped. I remember at 4 years of age walking up the stairs to my bedroom. Don't know how I survived in all that heat and humidity. YUCK.
rtususian i remember it too. My parents took us out onto our Brooklyn fire escape with candles. I distinctly remember the pitch blackness of the sky and the sound of running feet up and down the stairs. “What’s the matter?! What’s going on?!”. Years later my father told me many people thought it was an attack on NYC which made sense because the Cuban missile crisis was only three years before. Great memories!
@@rtususian I'm sure that was a CIA PSYOPS like many of them...
Wonder what today’s song would be?
And which FCC regulation it would target?
The family hour wasn't popular with the actors and writers. There were only so many slots in the 9:00 and 10:00 hours. That meant a lot of sitcoms went on at 8:00 and had to tone it down. Rhoda was married but she and Joe couldn't talk about the bedroom.
Today's world
Watchinging old reruns, I thought the show wouldn't hold up with its political comment of the time . But it still is very funny. Surprisingly another show I loved from the time Mary Tyler Moore seems so dated.
The episode with Archie vs. Maude is pretty relevant 50 years later. Replace their argument on Nixon vs. Johnson with Obama/Biden/Clinton vs. Trump, and it holds up well.
I was 12 in 75, so I would not have understood much of what they sang about.
She almost goofed by saying those are instead of those were
All In The Family stands as the best sitcom in history. But I found myself kind of sad as I watched this. When the show was breaking down barriers it was exciting because it felt a little dangerous. Now I see that sense of danger was not without good reason. Now in 2023 I've witnessed the inevitable consequences of liberalism; the unavoidable end game of reckless moral abandon. I've called myself a liberal my entire adult life; but I can no longer use that label to describe myself. The political left have gone completely nuts. The stuff currently happening in the White House makes Watergate look like child's play. If John F. Kennedy were alive today he would be considered an extreme conservative. Those were the basic moral and political values I've lived by; and I still do today. I haven't changed much over the years; but the left have become so radical I can no longer stand on that side. By the time you reach 60 you can't help but see the inevitable consequence of liberalism (unless you live in a bubble like Rob Reiner). They are the same consequences that destroyed great civilizations in the past. If we don't turn around soon the same is coming for us. Turns out he really was a meathead.
This is STELLAR!
Goody goody gumdrops!
“,,,and other Family Hour expressions of delight.”
I'm here because of Matt Baume. He did a very interesting video on "The Gayest Week in TV History" and he goes into the "family hour". th-cam.com/video/yIVAaMoG8N8/w-d-xo.html
I watch old GUNSMOKE episodes . Imagine my surprise when Carroll O' Connor appears as an army officer . I miss him and Jean Stapleton . Rob Reiner is a Democrat political activist now .Sally Struthers , not to sure , but sadly gained a huge amount of weight ....in the unhealthy range . I hope she is well.
Me too
SARCASTIC AF
I always wonder what Carroll and Jean would think of Donald Trump our President, I don't mean Archie and Edith, I mean Carroll and Jean. Carroll especially was almost a direct opposite of the character he played. But if you watch Rob Reiner in interviews his opinions sound almost exactly like Mike Stivic's.
...Like most of us with any sense, they'd probably think of tRUMP as infrequently as possible. I know that O'Connor was a Democrat and very liberal. It's my understanding that Stapleton was a Democrat, though not as outspoken regarding politics.
If O'Connor was not liberal he would not have taken this role. Can you imagine John Wayne playing a soldier in the Sacred Band of Thebes? There were actors who refused roles that contained bad words or risky material. Among them, Ginger Rogers, Olivia de Havilland etc.
