Remember when we said that the network believed they would receive lots backlash over the language used on the show and regarding Archie’s character? So that never happened, but they did get flooded with calls over one nagging question – “What is the second to last line of the opening theme song?” Yeah! No one could understand it, so O’Connor and Stapleton had to actually re-record the part and carefully enunciated, “Gee, our old LaSalle ran great”.
Controversial Topics
Yup, All in the Family was one of the very first to discuss controversial issues that no other American network television even dared to touch. Topics such as racism, women’s liberation, rape, homosexuality, religion, breast cancer, the Vietnam War, and menopause all appeared somehow on the show.
