After doing various taping guides for shows like "The Facts of Life", "Good Times" and "the Jeffersons", it would make sense to do a taping guide for the show that started it all, "All in the Family". Believe me, the research has not been easy, and I had to look up a lot of scripts, pictures, various news articles and various studio logs, I have put together a good production guide of this groundbreaking show. Please feel free to correct some of these if I am wrong.

This entire post is a repeat because it logged me out as I was putting the info up and I thought it had gotten lost so I reposted it not knowing that the info was already up. But anyway, I just looked up scripts on the internet and AP photos and books to give me the info that I needed to do this guide

Anytime USATVFAN. I try my best to present these shows in a way that you can see what was going on behind the scenes as the show happened. You have the stories, you know when characters first came on, when they really left, and how long they were on the show. Plus, you get a sense of history when they mention then-current events and you can look up when the events happened or when they mentioned movies or music and stuff.

I tried looking up certain events for All in the Family but was unsuccessful and couldn't make sense of certain historical references because I wasn't around at the time.


Kind of like how someone in 2012 would look at a episode of the Office when someone was trying to figure out the name of the Kit-Kat song from 1991 and would not understand because they wasn't around at the time
