I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
... View MoreThe film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
... View MoreThis is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

... View MoreI did watch all of the episodes of "Archie Bunker's" and I did enjoy it for the most part. However, the series puts me in mind of the slow vanishing of MASH from the television. Both shows probably had run their courses by 1979, but the networks kept them running because they were still major draws and they also were still head and shoulders above 90% of the other programs being aired. I also think the show ran right as the American economy dived into a decade-long recession. The nation had become a sadder and darker place and the sadness and darker atmosphere permeated this program. Archie never stopped missing Edith and the life they had in the Seventies. The Eighties was a lonelier and less funny place. I did think Stephanie, Harry, Murray and the rest of the cast were all just fine in their roles. "Archie Bunker's Place" was the end of an epoch.
... View MoreUnfortunately I only saw a few episodes when in it orginially aired and have been watching repeats on TV land. I seriously wonder if Archie Bunker's place was staged before a live audience. The laughter in the series seemed almost forced. In my opinion the only memorable episode is when Archie Bunker visits Reggie Jackson and shows off his hidden racist views. Archie Bunker seems to have mellowed from his previous "All in Family" series and is a mere chuckle than a rip roaring laugh.
... View MoreI think that Archie Bunker's place was a great sequel to my favorite show, All In The Family. though it wasn't as funny, it still entertained me. I really hope that it will come back to television soon in reruns.
... View MoreThis show ARCHIE BUNKERS PLACE is a great show and again Carroll O'Connor teaches us a lesson on real life. This is a follow up from All In The Family, it proves that a very good show can go on with out the cast who started the show. This is one show I wish would come back on in reruns.
