Summary of Season 1 (1971) - 3 discs
Those were the days. Norman Lear's landmark comedy featured one of the most beloved families in television history, the Bunkers, starring Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton as Archie and Edith. With co-stars Rob Reiner as Mike "Meathead" Stivic and Sally Struthers as Gloria, "All in the Family" remains an Emmy-winning treasure. Watch this groundbreaking first season and just try to stifle your laughter!
Summary of Season 2 (1971) - 3 discs
It's all here: the entire second season of Norman Lear's groundbreaking, Emmy-winning series, featuring the ascerbic provocations of curmudgeonly family patriarch Archie Bunker, who has a nasty bark but reveals his big heart time and time again.
Summary of Season 3 (1972) - 3 discs
Stifle yourself! Norman Lear's groundbreaking sitcom stars Carroll O' Connor as irrepressibly bigoted, working-class family man Archie Bunker. His archaic views are the fulcrum around which his family -- including scatterbrained wife Edith (Jean Stapleton), daughter Gloria (Sally Struthers) and liberal son-in-law Mike (Rob Reiner) -- revolves. A true landmark in the frank, funny way it dealt with controversial social issues and stereotypes.
Summary of Season 4 (1973) - 3 discs
The incorrigible Archie Bunker (Carroll O'Connor) is back in fine form, still reigning supreme -- or trying to, anyway -- over his household, which includes his wife, Edith (Jean Stapleton); his daughter, Gloria (Sally Struthers); and his son-in-law, Michael (Rob Reiner). This year, Archie and Edith clash over art, religion, counterfeit money and everything else under the sun, while Gloria and Michael smooth out some rough patches.
Summary of Season 5 (1974) - 3 discs
By the dawn of its fifth season, "All in the Family" was still No. 1 in the Nielsen ratings, and the network was poised to make "The Jeffersons" a bona fide spinoff. That means that with neighbors George and Louise (Sherman Helmsley and Isabel Sanford) moving to Manhattan, Gloria (Sally Struthers) and Michael (Rob Reiner) can move into the Jeffersons' house -- leaving more time for Archie (Carroll O'Conner) to pick on Edith (Jean Stapleton).
Summary of Season 6 (1975) - 3 discs
With Gloria (Sally Struthers) pregnant and Archie (Carroll O'Connor) on a doctor-ordered diet, waistlines may be shifting in the sixth season of this landmark comedy -- but the Bunkers remain their irascible, inimitable selves. In other action, Edith (Jean Stapleton) develops an independent streak. Meanwhile, Mike (Rob Reiner) also declares "Independence Day" from Archie (a bit prematurely), and the clan welcomes a new member.
Summary of Season 7 (1977) - 3 discs
The seventh season of this groundbreaking family sitcom kicks off with Archie (Carroll O'Connor) and Edith's (Jean Stapleton) marriage on the rocks, as Edith moves out over suspicions that Archie was doing more than flirting with an attractive waitress (guest star Janis Paige). Mike (Rob Reiner) and Gloria (Sally Struthers) are determined to help them patch things up, but it might be too late for apologies.
