"All in the Family" is touted as the series that brought reality to prime-time TV entertainment. The lead character, Archie Bunker, is a loudmouthed, uneducated bigot who believes in every stereotype he has ever heard. His wife, Edith, is sweet but not the sharpest knife in the drawer. They and their daughter, Gloria, and her husband, Mike, all live in a working-class home. Unfortunately for Archie, he can't avoid the people he disdains: His son-in-law -- whom Archie calls "Meathead" -- is an unemployed student and of Polish descent; the Jeffersons next door are black; Edith's cousin Maude is a feminist; and, later, his partners in a local tavern are Jewish.
The Stivic's wedding day is jeopardized when Archie and Mike's uncle argue over the use of a Catholic priest at the ceremony.
As Archie and Mike's Uncle Casimir continued to butt heads on the wedding day, Edith had to gather strength to tell Gloria about 'the birds and the bees'.
A heat wave that stifles New York is nothing compared to the trouble a woman is causing for Archie and Edith.
Trouble starts in the Bunker house when the family finds an 82-year-old pajama-clad stranger in their living room.
