Did anyone notice the Blooper in the opening credits of Archie Bunker's Place? - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I have to admit that I don't know a lot about bars in real life. Opening at 9 a.m. seems a bit strange, but since Archie Bunker's Place was a bar and a restaurant, I guess that could explain the 9 a.m. thing. Idk.

Yeah, I'm under 21 so I'm a bit clueless about bars. lol

That's the same thing i was saying Jenny, 9am as a start time? When you just closed 5 hours ago? So Archie should have had enough money to have another bar by the 3rd season if ABP was open 16 hours on a daily basis. Plus where I live, bars close at 2am and open in the evening, not in the morning.

New York City is definitely a different animal, and there are quite a few places that keep these kinds of hours (yes, even in the mornings!). I'm sure these hours must seem strange if you're not familiar with the bar scene there. As for the bar itself, Archie's Place wasn't full very often, so I guess we're to assume that it was only moderately profitable, despite the hours.

Does the outside shot of the bar conform well with what's on the inside?

The whole 9am - 4am thing is right because in the episode "Archie And The Ambush", if I recall someone metioned that it was 3:00 in the morning.

Bars in New York close at 4am. Neighborhood bars do open at 9am here and close at 4am. They have more then one person to handle the shifts during the day, usually three or four.

This is to handle people who drinks at various times of the day and to sell as many drinks as possible to generate a profit.

By the way...there are nightclubs in NY which will open on Saturday at 11pm, stop serving drinks at 4am (by law) and remain open until 6pm Sunday evening!

There was a real blooper in Billie where Denise Miller appeared on both the beginning and ending credits.
