ABC promo and opening credits still available

I saw this in my YouTube subscriptions this morning. This episode is from a Ha! TV Comedy Network airing. I wonder if they aired the other four episodes.

ROB wanted 13 episodes, ABC only promised him 5. ROB played 2 roles - the elder JOSEPH BRESNER, a Lithuanian immigrant with flashbacks of his early life and love. This episode was titled "ANNA'S ARRIVAL." Co-starring Judy Kahan, Joe Pantoliano, Larry Gelman and Renee Lippin.

Is that The Carol Burnett Show that's considered a classic today?

Yes, it was on the air 11 seasons and only the last 2 was bad. The 10th season was ranked #44 and last season was #66. Before season 10, it was always ranked in top 30

OK, so it was on its last legs there after a long run.

As for Free Country, I tried to watch the video but bailed pretty quickly. It felt more like a staged play (with a laugh track) rather then a sitcom.

The Promo was enough for me not to even try lol

I watched it. I can see why it didn't last. It was more of a comedy/drama than a traditional sitcom. There weren't many laughs in this particular episode.

Apparently it was a passion project for Rob Reiner. He was ready to leave All in the Family to try something new.
