you know tell me about this show? I know it's the show where they are then born "The Jeffersons."

here in Italy can not be found! I know it was broadcast in the 70s or 80s .... (but I was not even born at the time)

Jefferson were recently replicated after maybe 15 years, in fact even the Jefferson are just easier to see the show in my country.

do you know me? Is it worth it? it is true that looks like the show "The Jefferson" but the white version?

I just saw the episode of Jefferson George and Louise in a bind, "where there are clips of" All in the Family "and from what little I've seen looks very funny! especially the scenes between George and Banker.

I don't understand-are you asking what "ALL IN THE FAMILY" was about?

"ALL IN THE FAMILY" was on CBS from 1970 until 1979. It was about a family named the Bunkers living in Queens, New York. The husband, Archie, was a blue-collar worker on a loading dock. His wife, Edith, was daffy but kind-hearted, their daughter Gloria believed in womans lib, and her husband Mike was a liberal who didn't always get along with Archie who was also racist.
You're right, it also spun-off "THE JEFFERSONS" who were their next door neighbors and later moved to Manhatten.

Ciao Chachi-

"All in the Family" ran from 1971-1979. It was very popular because it was a new kind of show. Archie Bunker (Carroll O'Connor) was a working-class, World War II veteran and a very outspoken bigot, prejudiced against everyone and everything not in agreement with his view of the world. He was ignorant and stubborn. His wife Edith (Jean Stapleton) was very kind and simple-minded. She loved Archie and put up with his harsh personality and was often made fun of by Archie. He called her "Dingbat." They had one child, a grown daughter named Gloria (Sally Struthers) who Archie called "Little Girl." She was full of energy and stood up to Archie. Gloria married Mike (Rob Reiner) and they lived with Archie and Edith. Archie didn't like Mike for many reasons: he was a liberal, was Polish-American, didn't work, ate a lot, spoke against American ways and most of all, he married Gloria. Archie called him "Meathead."

The show dealt with many topics of the times more realistically than shows before that: bigotry, politics, racism, homosexuality, women's liberation, rape, miscarriage, breast cancer, menopause and impotence, etc.

The main spinoffs were "The Jeffersons" and "Maude" that dealt modern topics and issues also. "Good Times" was a spin-off of "Maude."

If you are interested, you might be able to buy DVDs that will play in your region. Many of the jokes might "get lost in the translation," and remember it is now 40 years old and will be very different from what was being watched in Italy in those days.
