If anybody here has seen the two original pilots for All In the Family please give a mini review. I think the 1968 (?) version was considered lost, but the UCLA archives is supposed to have it.

I didn't even realize there were two pilots.

Yeah, neither did I. I've seen parts of one of them with a different Gloria and Mike (thankfully it never took off).

Yeah Richard Nixon as Mike and Bella Abzug as Gloria were just too farfetched to believe!!!

TV Land aired one of the pilots in 1998 or so.
