The 1969 version co-starred Candy Azzara as Gloria and former Oakland Raider Chip Oliver as Meathead. The 1968 pilot featured Kelly Jean Peter as Gloria and Tim MacIntire as Richard (aka вЂњMeatheadвЂќ). There were three Glorias and three Meatheads. вЂњThey didnвЂ™t want to put the show on the air,вЂќ Lear said. ABC was uncertain, so they ordered another pilot five months later (using the same script), this time called Those Were The Days. Justice For All featured 44-year-old OвЂ™Connor as вЂњArchie JusticeвЂќ with Stapleton (age 45) as Edith.

Lear and partner Bud Yorkin pitched the series to ABC in 1968, and the network immediately ordered a pilot. вЂњMeathead,вЂќ вЂњDingbat,вЂќ and вЂњStifle yourselfвЂќ were all direct quotes from LearвЂ™s father. вЂњMy dad and me, we fought about all of these things,вЂќ said Lear, whose own parents served as templates for Archie and Edith. Lear based the series on Til Death Us Do Part, a British sitcom about a conservative father and his liberal son-in-law. Norman Lear is one of TVвЂ™s most prolific creators, but All In The Family wasnвЂ™t entirely his idea. All In The Family was based on a British sitcom. So, stifle yourself and enjoy these facts about the family who lived at 704 Hauser Street.ДЎ. Archie evolved over the years, but OвЂ™ConnorвЂ™s fiercely honest portrayal always retained the characterвЂ™s core truth. But Lear and his writers used these characters to expose deep-rooted biases and prickly family dynamics that are timeless.ДЄt the center of it all was OвЂ™Connor, who transformed an anti-hero into an American icon.

The Bunkers вЂ“ opinionated patriarch Archie ( Carroll OвЂ™Connor), patient wife Edith ( Jean Stapleton), budding feminist daughter Gloria ( Sally Struthers), and argumentative son-in-law Michael Stivic ( Rob Reiner) вЂ“ were a working-class family in Queens, New York.

It was the top-rated TV show for five years, scored 22 Emmy Awards, and is #9 on Rolling StoneвЂ™s list of Greatest TV Shows. For nine seasons, the Norman Lear comedy tickled funny bones and busted taboos with topics never before discussed in primetime. Fans were quick to notice that a wrapped present in the clip teased the date November 5-hinting that the star has another surprise in store for her fans this week.Nearly half a century after its creation, All In The Family remains one of the most influential and enduring sitcoms in TV history. 'Ready? Let's go!' Carey captioned the clip on Twitter, adding the hashtag #MariahSZN. In the clip, Carey, clad in a bright-red glittery gown and matching high-heeled pumps, sneaks into a house to smash a trio of pumpkins carved with the words, 'It's not time'-a reference to her now-classic statement about when it's appropriate to blast her holiday hit, 'All I Want for Christmas Is You.' Following the short pumpkin-smashing session, Carey switches into a sequin-embellished Santa Claus suit, frolicking in fake snow and a sea of presents with her Jack Russell terrier. The superstar kicked off the holidays (and the end of Halloween, apologies to spooky season lovers) with a video shared to her social media accounts. Stores might be putting out their Christmas decorations earlier than ever, but only Mariah Carey can say when the season really begins.
