LOL, During the closing credits when the camera is moving down the street, you see a guy with red shorts running into a shaded alley-lol

I wonder who he thought it was to run away. Wonder if he has ever been identified

Just a guess, but I suspect it was the owner of the home and he didn't want to be filmed.

It wasn't the Bunker House it was further down the street

Yes, I know, he probably saw the camera and freaked out! lol

I watch the closing credits every night just so I can see him responding to the camera and saying-"Oh sh*t I'm being filmed"

LMAO

That's funny, but nothing is better than the credits to Good Times with those kids looking at the camera ready to kill someone. lol

Yup, Lear and Company caught some people by a surprise when filming but you didn't see that in the opening credits of the Jeffersons or Maude

I always noticed someone walking in front of *what I assume to be the Bunker house*

The Bunker house has a newspaper on the doorstep.

I’ve seen this show so many times and never noticed him. He’s there for literally a split second. How the heck did you see him in the first place?

You know I look and analyze everything about a sitcom and just happened to notice the guy going into the alley lol

Was he there all 9 seasons? I was thinking, if this guy got even a penny every time an All In The Family ever aired somewhere he’d have some decent money.

Maybe he was just there at that time??

Hmm I havent ever noticed him!!


See how good it is scanning the bases guys??

Thanx Opus :)

OMG that's awesome
Never noticed it before either.

Im a TV dork and was just looking at closing credits analyzing the neighborhood and noticed him getting away from camera:lol:

Really good catch. On a similar theme I too love the people that are filmed for sitcom openings or closings and dont realize it. On the opening to Threes Company is filmed from a roof somewhere looking down on Santa Monica and there is a guy on roller skates. I doubt he knew he was being filmed. On Welcome Back Kotter there are countless people walking the streets. I love the guy on the unicycle at the end. But the most famous is the Mary Tyler Moore show with her in the street and throwing up her hat. That woman's look was so authentic.

Yup, i did the same with Odd Couple closing and opening credits. Jeffersons, with all people walking in Manhatttan, TC season 4 closing with all people on boardwalk.

But in regards to the guy in AITF closing, if u not paying attention you wont notice him lol

Even if you pay attention its hard to see him. I never noticed him before and when I saw this thread I watched looking for him and did not see him. Someone pointed out when he appears and I watched again and saw him.

It was the RED SHORTS that made him stand out

Was somewhat tricky to grab a good view screenshot, but here he is

There's a thread on Quora about this oddly specific and extremely esoteric question.

The guy probably died years ago if the aerial shots in the opening credits were shot in the late 1960s.

Not if he was a kid

Hehe I wonder if maybe he didnt see the truck driving by with the camera.......

I wonder if this guy ever knew he was filmed and in the closing credits. This was like Google Street View before it existed.

I guess he has never come forward to identify himself.

From a YouTube comment:

Cooper Street in the Glendale section of Queens is where the actual house and footage was shot even though in the show the address was known as 704 Hauser in Astoria, Queens.

Ya he might not know. I dont think they would tell people who lived on that street to stay inside until the car goes by after all :D

It looks like he does see the camera because it sort of makes him jump into the alley, no?

Yes he saw the camera

If they didnt want him in the picture.they could have re-done the ride down houser street but they didnt seem to care.... He probably lives at that house next to that alley :)

In any case HE IS FAMOUS!!

Because this is in the closing credits he's not known. Had he been in the opening credits more people would have noticed. Many people including me change the channel or do not watch the entire closing credits.

Maybe he didn’t live there. Maybe the reason he ran from the camera was because he was a burglar casing the area.

I believe he did live there based on how he was dressed

Someone with time on their hands in New York could get some good leads on this. Find the exact address, then a real estate search would turn up who owned it then. If you got real lucky and the property hasn't changed hands since 1970, the information might even be online.

I'm from NYC. No one in their right mind would do something like this, regardless of whether they were from NYC or anywhere else. It's fun and games to speculate about stuff like this on a forum. Anything else--especially looking up real estate information to track down who owned the house, lived there all these years, etc.--is a sign of some kind of disorder or other issues, IMO.

Ah man!!

It would have been a nice bonus feature on the complete series DVD about who he was and what he is doing now

Yes I agree........We need info!!!!!!

I think I heard it was just someone walking down the street and he tried to get out of the way of the filming crew.

It reminds of, ppl also wonder who the angry looking woman is in the Mary Tyler Moore intro when Mary throws her hat in the air, there's a woman in the background who looks at her with a scowl on her face lol

Red shorts guy should be as famous as the scowling woman, Hazel Frederick. He was the only person visible in the closing credits. He was shown every week in one of the most iconic television series in history. I don't think they ever changed the visuals.

I disagree, she was more visible. He cant even see his face

I just watched the episode with COUSIN OSCAR (The one who dies) and at the start of the end credits there is a guy between the houses,just walking... He isnt running........


Is that the one you mean buddy?? (He has shorts on)

He is clearly trying to get out of camera view

Hmmmmmmmm.... Its funny seeing him there......

I bet they were hopefull NO ONE was outside during thier taping of the footage for the end credits..

I think it looks more realistic with people being on the sidewalk, so maybe it was good the guy was there.

I wonder if he's still living

I wonder if that guy ever posted about being on that awesome show?

On Saturday I was watching All in the family on Catchy Comedy . I finally saw the guy in the red shorts . I can honestly say I never noticed him before. I was purposely on the lookout for him because of this thread . Damn, TVfactfan , you must have eyes like a hawk to have noticed him !:eek::lol:

:lol::D:lol::D

If it were here in LA , that probably would be the case ! As crazy as it is out here ! :crazy::D

:lol::D:lol::D

Yup. Not wholesome and clean like NYC in the ‘70s.

LOL Where you been?? Yes I am the TV Analyzer

I wonder if he ever saw himself while watching it??

I know. But he is really obscure ! You have to REALLY look to notice him ! :eek:

I analyze the people the same way in the closing credits below lol

Jeffersons
Threes company season 4 to 8
Welcome back kotter
Odd Couple
Archie Bunkers place

I love the scenes on the opening and closing credits on Welcome Back Kotter AND on Taxi!

Good Times is another closing credits where there are lots of kids running and people outside.

Archie Bunker's place is another one that has real street scenes in the opening.

My favorite is the guy on roller skates on the Threes Company opening on the beach. He's in the bottom left corner for the opening roof scene to the beach. I assume he had no idea he was being filmed.
