All In The Family: The Complete Series
Description
"Archie!"
All 208 Original Episodes * Includes The Three-Part Retrospective From 1979
Few television shows have left as substantial and enduring a footprint on American popular culture as Norman Lear’s masterpiece All In The Family. This groundbreaking comedy series looked at the state of the world through the eyes of an argumentative but loving family and gave us some of the most fully dimensional characters in television history. The jokes had a million targets, aiming at race, politics, sex and human foibles, but the humor was firmly rooted in the characters of Archie, Edith, Mike and Gloria.
This complete series set is a long-overdue celebration of the enormously influential program and offers fans a collection to treasure for years to come.
Why We Love It
“As the Shout! Factory releases a boxed set this week containing all nine seasons of the series along with some tasty extras, it is clearer than ever what a singular phenomenon 'All in the Family' was. Sure, it was a funny show with a fabulous cast, but we can now see that it may also have been a high-water mark for television in terms of how much impact a single series can have in shaping American culture.” – The New York Times
“I'd give All in the Family: The Complete Series our highest award here at DVDTalk: the DVD Talk Collector Series award. On content alone, it's the best TV release of 2012.” – DVD Talk
