"All in the Family" Season Eight DVD Jan. 11th - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

JamesG · 01-11-2011, 04:53 AM

All 24 Original Half-Hour Episodes from 1977-1978

Season Eight of the award-winning television series from Norman Lear earned Emmys for Carroll O’Connor, Jean Stapleton and Rob Reiner, not to mention the award for Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series, and Outstanding Directing in a Comedy Series.

This second to last season finds Archie (O’Connor), Edith (Stapleton) and the Stivics (Reiner and Sally Struthers) battling some difficult issues when Archie buys a bar he cannot afford, Edith questions her faith and Mike and Gloria plan a move to California.

As dark as the plots run at times, the laughs always shine through in this perfectly balanced and performed sitcom that inspired spin-offs "Maude" and "The Jeffersons".

I don't plan to buy season 8 but I have season 7 and I like it quite well. I know some complained about the video quality of the 7th season DVD, but I have no problems with it, looks fine to me.
