"Justice For All" Pilot

[Benno123]

Has anyone seen this pilot episode? How is it? I'm not buying the big Lear set just for this show, but I keep hoping someone may post it online somewhere. Just curious about it, thanks!

Didn't he mention that this pilot was lost or erased by ABC?

EDIT: On second thought, WOW...I googled this and I can't believe it!!! Does anyone have this?

Hi Justin! The pilot is available on the big Norman Lear boxset that was released earlier this year. The surviving tape of the pilot is held at UCLA I believe. I've heard it's in black and white (don't know if this is true), does star Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton as well as two others playing Gloria and Mike (or Dickie or something like that).

I found these pics online of the first pilot. (http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/37519/norman-lear-collection-all-in-the-family-the-jeffersons-maude-mary-hartman-good-times-sanford-and-son-and-more-the/)

One note: Why was the family named "Justice" anyway? I liked "Bunker" better. I think "Justice For All" sounds like the name of a judicial show.
