About All In The Family:
One of the most acclaimed comedy series of all time, All in the Family with Archie Bunker as the irascible, highly opinionated, working-class family man who viewed the world on his terms and his terms only. When not arguing with his liberal son-in-law, "Meathead," Archie took refuge in his long-suffering wife, Edith, who tries her best to understand Archie's conservative ways and outdated beliefs.

45 years and this episode still gets to me😢
Jean was such a great actress that I could actually feel how tired she was. Norman really was a genius, right down to the tiniest of details, especially making the "bruise" on her leg seem real. I don't remember doctors making house calls, though. It's understandable she didn't want to continue making another season, but the way she was written off the show was fitting for Edith's character, and I'd like to think Jean had quite a say in that. This episode, decades later, still make me weepy!
Same here.. she resembled my mom and it made me sad when she was in pain because it was like seeing my mom in pain and Jean was also just a wonderful actress which coincidentally was my mom's middle name😔😢
@@GalaxyTheSnailTurd Aww, I'm sorry for your loss! My mom's been gone 3 years now, and it's never easy. I agree with you, she was a wonderful actress. I only wish I had been able to see her on Broadway!
@@lisalynnmarie2448 same here 😔and my condolences to you as well 🙏. My mom passed away in 2018 and I miss her so much 😔
@@GalaxyTheSnailTurd Thank you so much! My dad passed away in 2015, then my mom in 2020 😔 But watching this show brings back so many happy and hilarious memories of being too young to understand the jokes lol Plus, my dad used to called me "little girl" too. Your screen name reminds me I wish I could afford plastic surgery 🤭
They still did up until the seventies in Illinois.We went to my aunt's as the doctor was coming.
It hurts me sooooo much to see Edith in pain and sick. Thankyou, Archie!😢😮
Edith represents all the old school housewives who did and would do just what did..she pushed herself until she couldn’t go any further. It saddens me watching this because it’s obvious Archie is so driven to have this party he ignores her low energy. He didn’t catch the hint when she asked him to hire a caterer either. Bless her heart 😢
it's almost like it was scripted.
@@xreediculousx Thank you. Great show but sometimes it was awfully contrived.
Awsome show. I know it was merely acting. However, Edith & Archie played their parts very well. I miss those old-fashioned sitcoms. The stuff being produced these days simply doesn't have the same warm & fuzzy feeling. 😂😂😂
❤ hey you know that Edith was so beautiful of a person so loving.i wish I had a friend like her.❤😢
Thank you 💕
I'm Lucky!! I do!! have a friend like that!! And her husband is a gem too!!
Archie was such a self absorbed putz!
Thank the writers and Mr OConnors acting skill.
Also when you live a life subservient to your spouse, he/she learn they can be that way. It’s part of the dynamic.
Extremely sad scene 😔😢
One thing I love about this scene is that for as selfish and wrapped up in himself Archie is in the episode the second he hears a note of distress in Edith's voice he immediately drops everything to see to her.
You caught what most people missed.
Love from Halifax, Nova Scotia, CANADA!❤
Archie was so selfish and didn’t let Edith tell him that she was sick.
That's how the lines read! In the show he was shown as selfish.
Maybe her real death was due to stresses which may have included the pressures of the show..but really..remember this is a show you have watched..and Archie is a fictional character played well by Carroll O'Connor.
Edith didn't want to tell him! She never wanted him to no!!!
@@carolemayer6467 He didn’t allow her to tell him.
This episode had me in 😭😭😭! I truly believe This probably triggered her stroke!!!!! She worked as a house wife.....until the day she died!! She never had a break....even after Mike & Gloria moved out!!
She didn’t have a stroke she had breast cancer. Edith had phlebitis
Ok .. according to the storyline ..she died of a stroke!! I still say she worked herself to death..... tryin to take care of Archie!! Maybe he was partly responsible! But we'll never know! Jean Stapleton shared in interview why She decided to leave ... She was 1 of Hollywood's finest actresses. .. I didn't know her until "all in the family"!!
yes, house work can kill you. Shame on Archie for not seeing how tired his poor wife was.
She did not die on this show. She died on the spin off, Archie bunkers place in season two.
And Then When He finally Found Out What Was Wrong....he did Get Very Angry! Accusing her of being selfish & Not telling him! That's how much love they had 4 Each Other! " Wedding vows......the part that says .." For Better For Worse"!
Im shocked that the show went on without her. ..even tho she said it was just a character! No one ...and I Mean no one could do or replace jean Stapleton as the naive.... Yet.... gentle .... Strong...... Gifted. . Edith! She was very brilliant no matter what roles she played! She also portrayed "Eleanor Roosevelt". Wow!
Poor Edith. Archie works her to the bone and almost kills her. Then, after the fact, he's yerribly sorry and days he can't live without her. Archie, a little too little, too late.😢😢
I could watch this over and over and still cry everytime❤️😢
me too
That man was too much..
There are times when a person loves someone so much, that he or she comes to depend on their constant, daily presence. Those deep feelings can cause a measure of denial to form in their mind. The person doesn't want to have to think about reality, in regards to living alone, without the love of their life. It may end up being too much for them to bear.
😭💔 that made me think of my grandma when my grandpa passed she couldn't live without him she just couldn't bear it so she refused all food and drink begging all of us to just let her go be with grandpa....💔😭💔...... she passed shortly after 😭😭😭
@@melanieamber1973 I am sorry to hear of your loss. I have heard it said that true love is rare. From the way you explained, it seems like they were Soul Mates. And, that is very sweet. Please take care of yourself. Love and peace to you! ❤🕊
It’s called taking them for granted. Not love.
Can’t watch this period of the show. I was so fond of Edith’s character I can’t bear to watch her decline.
I pretty much was in my early teens when Sally and Rob's characters were written out of the show. I didn't watch it much, really, when they moved next door and once Joey was born. It just wasn't the same. I didn't even know Archie HAD a housekeeper until watching some of these clips!
Oh my I literally hurt in my legs watching her try walk
These videos are so sweet...
Archie was too selfish to listen to what Edith was trying to tell him. He didnt know how to shut up and listen.
To be fair he isn't smart and she was giving hints at a point his mind was already preoccupied... she should have been straight up honest about it
@@GameparkGames I understand what you're saying, but she had already cook all of the food and he still expected her to serve it all. She told him she needed to stay off her feet. She tried to tell him repeatedly but again, he was too selfish to even try to listen to Edith. It doesn't take one to be smart to listen to someone.
@@OneWayDesigns I agree. He wouldn't have cared. She did tell him she didn't want to go, that she was tired, but he didn't listen. It was all about what he wanted her to do.
Both Edith and Archie irritated me so badly in this episode.
Edith for being the weak push over that she always is.
Archie for being the somewhat bully he always is.
She knew how very sick she was and did not put her foot down and tell her husband no.
They have been married for over 25 years and the fact that he couldn't tell that something was wrong with his wife is just pathetic. Self-absorbed and treated his wife like his personal servant.
I can never get through this episode.
Amen and thats what Norman Lear wanted alot of women were treated this way back then and some still are
I think you should give Archie a break, I've been in similar situations myself and trust me when I say you don't see the decline. I lost 3 members of my family to Cancer, my grandfather the the last of the 3 to go and even after going through the loss of 2 others before him I still couldn't see it and some jerk thought it would be a good idea to take a picture of us together and in the photo I'm smiling because I was getting a photo taken of me and my grandfather and in that photo he looks like death... I didn't see it at the time but I see it now and I get disgusted anytime I happen across that photo. At the time I knew he had cancer but I didn't see him as for himself, I saw him as what I've always seen him and that's me knowing, Archie in this situation didn't know she had problems and even with her hinting at the problem (not outright telling him) he was preoccupied to notice the hints, He saw his wife as the person he always seen. I feel bad for the both of them here
@@GameparkGames I am sorry for your loss. It is always hard to lose someone that we love very much. And, though life may go on, we never fully get over it. Little things always serve as reminders.
@@sandrakimball518 It's been 8 years since I lost him and it feels like no time at all passed, I wake up in a panic sometimes thinking about him and the others I lost. I didn't have a father growing up and he was the closest I had to a father figure, losing him was hard.
@@GameparkGamesI' 5:12 m so sorry... 😥
Reminds me of my grandfather
It's hard for me not to look at Archie as responsible somewhat for Edith's passing.
She didn’t tell him the truth.
She could have been a better wife.
@@BlackNightJackYou're kidding, right? Or are you just a mega dingbat?
@user-ro2vb8by7u she tried to tell him, but he would accept that Dr Junior Shapiro knew what he knew. Don't shift the blame. She should have flat out said no and laid in bed and ignored the narcissist shaming.
@@BlackNightJack hope you're kidding....its only a show. However, life lessons are available.
ARCHIE wasn't very observant (among other things)
You could look at Edith and tell she was tired and especially when she said "I have to stay off my feet "
He should have said something to the effect what do you mean you have to stay off your feet is anything wrong? Are you OK ?
But NOOO Not ARCHIE he pulls her (Not hard obviously) and scoots her out the kitchen and turns away not only looking tired but she TOLD Him she was tired.
What an idiot SMH
❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Everyone should have cooked some of the cabbage.
Edith tried to tell him and should have just refused to do anything till he listened to her. But Edith is a people pleaser and Archie was very self absorbed and an overbearing bully. I can understand how helpless she felt. Even if she didn't know she had a condition before, he was working her to the bone for his own selfish reasons....and after all that cooking he wanted her to get dressed up and serve the food too. He took more of a victim role then he deserved when they talked about the situation.
He was responsible because Edith was trying to tell him but Archie refused to listen to her.
This kind of makes me mad. Edith is only 52 in this episode. They make 52 seem so old.
I'm 56 and it seems as they do project that, but I certainly don't feel old.
@mindcontrol67 Same, I'm 57 and I'm not at all old.
If you grew up during the Depression like Edith's character did, you'd feel old too. Different generation, different life experiences.
Well, stress ages you. Being a housewife is not walk in the park. As well as people can have underlining conditions that age them and make them feel very sick. 50s is young, but many people just look older due to drugs and alcohol, an illness, or genetics.
some people look old for their age. she was one of them. also it was a different time and like someone else already mentioned, stress does a number on a person
This is the way I'm treated
Then leave
@@laurie113 not that easy
What do I do go live in a shoe box
I am so sorry.
A lot of people think Edith was little more than a sycophant to Archie, but that was not at all true. She stood up to him (and usually won) on the bigger matters, and her politics were very different from those of his. Unlike Gloria, who embraced every leftist cause after she married Mike so as just to please him, even though it was against her original belief system. And to think that she considered herself to be a feminist?
There was only her and Archie🙄
Really it was only the narcissist Archie. Darn him. Darn him. Selfish bastard.
Jean Stapleton had agreed to appear in a limited number of episodes per season of Archie Bunker's Place. In the first year of that show, she did six episodes. It was never announced that she'd cut back her episodes so viewers began to wonder what was up, and it became awkward for the writers explaining where she was every week. Norman Lear made an effort for Stapleton to come back and do all of season 2, but she stood by her willingness to only do 6. So, the decision was made to kill Edith off, off screen, in episode 1 of season 2. I have to say, that show really wasnt very good.
According to this episode, Edith had the ailment and kept it from Archie, because she didn't want him to worry. To be honest, Archie was not responsible, he had no idea how long she had it .
💔💔💔💔💔
Archie is a real jerk, and Edith you need to speak up for yourself sweetheart.
Archie never deserved her.
This was so painful to watch. They were the tops on the show.
Jeez Archie! Give her a Break Man
Archie was such a jerk.
Just like a man it's all about him
Archie too advantage of Edith always was his maid. Now she died and he is alone. lts his fault.
Maybe that saved some lives!
I hated Archie in this episode.
This happened to my best friend. 😢
When I got to the house. Her husband was jerking and yelling at her to move her feet.
She died soon after.
Then a year and a half later. He drank himself to death.
I don't think it's was the guilt. I think it was self pity.
❤😊 was there a main reason Edith felt so much pressure just asking
Blood clots
hated the episode it showed how some men are just all about self like many I know in my life time
Archie was selfish and self-centered. People talk on how sweet and how he just loved her and he cried with the world when she died. Well, his type of love loved her right to death. He only viewed her as a work horse and maybe pin cushion. Once she was dead he probably went back to the waitress he cheated on her with.
I loved and hated him altogether.
This made me so angry with Archie, asshole and so self centered.
Well written well acted.
Its Archie's fault she died!
With all due respect, as touching as the last scene is, given the way Archie treated Edith through 9 seasons, disrespecting and insulting her and overall controlling her, who would call that love and what does love mean to him? How many us would tolerate such treatment for 30 years? Jean Stapleton said she left the show bec the character went as far as it could for her but Norman Lear could have evolved her into a stronger person but that probably would destroy the chemistry. Sorry, but a few tender moments do not redeem a stupid, self-centered and detestable Archie.
Identity shown RAPE ATTACK ..why? we stuck up for Danielle ..women ....what can you do with them.
This was another poor feminist propaganda episode 🙄
Not really. This fucking happened all the time. Is this troubling to you?
Bullcrap.
