Movie Reviews of All in the Family - The Complete Sixth Season
Movie Review: All in the MPI Home Video
Summary: 5 Stars
Sony Pictures, selling All in the Family to MPI Home Video would be a perfect idea for the fans, who have waited 7 years to collect all 9 Seasons of the series on DVD. Please do not say no to my suggestion. MPI Home Video will be willing to re-release the first 6 seasons, and release the 3 remaining seasons with no problems. Please sell All in the Family to MPI Home Video!
Summary of All in the Family - The Complete Sixth Season
The more things change, the more they stay the same? When it comes to All in the Family, the answer is an unqualified yes… and no. Considering the show's tremendous popularity (this sixth season, spanning 1975 and '76, was the fifth straight year it held down the top spot in the Nielsen ratings), creator-producer Norman Lear was unlikely to make any drastic adjustments to the basic formula. And sure enough, in these 24 episodes (on three discs, sans bonus features), the four main characters--Archie Bunker (Carroll O'Connor, brilliant as ever), ditzy wife Edith (Jean Stapleton), daughter Gloria (Sally Struthers), and contentious son-in-law Mike Stivic (Rob Reiner)--and their relationships remain the obvious focal point. What's more, while it's true that various new developments, including Mike and Gloria's move next door (to the house once occupied by the Jeffersons), her pregnancy, and the birth of little Joey, are more than cosmetic and account for the lion's share of the storylines, All in the Family's basic dynamic remains one of the strongest and most instantly recognizable in TV sitcom history. Ditto the writers' penchant for the trenchant; social issues include tolerance and homophobia (Archie saves a woman's life with "mouth-to-mouth restitution," only to discover that "she" is a transvestite), women's rights (Gloria gets fired for being pregnant), vigilantism (Archie fends off a mugger with illegal tear gas), religion (Archie wants his grandson baptized and raised as a Christian, but Mike has other ideas), and so on. And now more than ever, some of the language will seem a little shocking, as Archie regularly uses a variant of the gay slur that got Grey's Anatomy cast member Isaiah Washington in very hot water more than three decades later.Some changes, however, are a little more profound. The kinder, gentler Archie who began to appear a few seasons back is more in effect now; an extended and largely improvised scene in which he coddles his infant grandson is surprisingly tender, and when he hugs Mike after Joey is born, longtime viewers might wonder if what on earth has happened to TV's most unrepentant, close-minded bigot. But hey, even cavemen evolved, and the Archie Bunker we see in Season 6 bears an increasing resemblance to a character he most surely inspired, one who usually ends up removing his foot from his mouth long enough to do the right thing: Homer Simpson. --Sam Graham
All in the Family centers on a working class family man whose conservative views of the world clash with nearly everyone he meets. The cast of supporting characters includes Archie s long-suffering but loving wife Edith (Jean Stapleton); daughter Gloria (Sally Struthers) and liberal son-in-law Mike "Meathead" Stivic (Rob Reiner).In the sixth season Mike and Gloria finally move into their own home and discover Gloria is pregnant. After the baby is born Archie has the baby baptized without their permission. While driving a cab Archie rescues a woman who turns out to be a transvestite and Edith starts volunteering at an old age home. Guest stars this season include Billy Crystal Doris Roberts (TV s "Everybody Loves Raymond") Robert Guillaume (TV s "Benson") Bernadette Peters and Betty Garrett who won a Golden Globe? for her role.DVD Features:24 episodes on 3 discs including: The Very Moving Day Alone at Last Archie the Donor Archie the Hero Mike's Pains Chain Letter Mike Faces Life Edith Breaks Out Grandpa Blues Gloria Suspects Mike The Little Atheist Archie's Civil Rights Gloria Is Nervous The Baby (Part 1) The Baby (Part 2) New Year's Wedding Archie the Babysitter Archie Finds a Friend Mike's Move Archie's Weighty Problem Love by Appointment Joey's Baptism Gloria and Mike's House Guests Edith s Night OutSystem Requirements:Run Time: 612 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 043396162365 Manufacturer No: 16236
