Actually, when looking at the first few shows that aired after the Super Bowl, it’s almost treated with a complete ambivalence for the first eleven contests. The list of programming is littered with such high-profile fair as the Bing Crosby Pro-Am Golf Tournament, Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom, NBC Nightly News and, on two occasions, the networks sent it back to the affiliates for local programming.

Archie Bunker Changed the Rules Forever

In 1978, during All in the Family’s next to last season (it was then renamed Archie Bunker’s Place), CBS actually embraced the concept of Super Bowl lead-out programming and scheduled a brand new episode of the show titled “Archie and the Super Bowl.” In the episode, Archie — who already owned his bar by now — figured that he would have an extremely financially successful day considering the crowd he would have for the Super Bowl. (I guess? Bunker’s bar was in Queens and the two teams playing were Denver and Dallas.) Well, at least two criminals thought so, too, and (spoiler alert?) stole all of Archie’s money. The episode does not rank among All in the Family’s finest, but, it did change Super Bowl Sunday forever.

I remember watching that episode that night. That was my first experience watching my team win the SB. What a wonderful day.

(sniff) Ladies and Gentlemen (sniff) the Philadelphia Eagles were eliminated in the play-offs (sniff) so there will be no Super Bowl this year (sniff).

At least for me (sniff).

I don't know if I would be in the mood for a sitcom after the SB but I guess that's when it all started and Fox will air a new episode of the Glee tonight after the SB

I grew up in Levittown, Pennsylvania, also known as "The Apex of Civilization," right outside Philadelphia. Six years ago,l my wife and I happily retired to Mexico, and it's 70 degrees outside RIGHT NOW!

Moving down here is the third best thing I ever did.

Levitown, Pennsylvania? That's where I lived in the 70s. Do you remember what your address was? I remember mine!

I'm not into sports, so I couldn't give a damn who wins the super bowl; it's just another boring football game!!!
