[NellyLunatic1980]

Easy $50,000 question.

[Bob Juch]

Easy $50,000 question.

If you know the answer.

[TheConfessor]

Easy $50,000 question.

If you know the answer.

Asking it in the present tense seems problematic. It assumes that Archie Bunker is still alive today and still living at the same place he lived with Edith and Michael and Gloria almost 40 years ago.

This is the third day in a row (IIRC) that the carryover contestant has been "one and done". I don't like the fact that Cat interrupted the contestant to give her the chance to use the DD, either. The host shouldn't save the contestant from making a mistake. Of course in this case it didn't matter, but it's the principle of the thing. As for me, I knew this one.

[peacock2121]

I watched all of those shows and did not know the answer.

I would have guessed right, if I had my DD left and I did not know.

My first guess was the Connors. I do not know why.

Aw, man! Save one of these for me, will ya, TPTB? Classic '60s/'70s TV trivia, and as slow a softball as I'd ever see. But as has been said, it's only easy if you know it. It helps to be old, in this case.

Unfortunately, if you are old enough to remember All In The Family, you will not be selected as a contestant.

Nonsense.

As a owner of the AITF game and record - bought when they were issued no less - as well as an avid viewer (at least up to the (but not during/after) the 'Joey', Stephanie and Martin Balsam years) and as a season 7 contestant - I proudly say:
Bring on the All In The Family Trivia!

(from memory - I haven't checked to see how bad I remembered or misremembered it)
Boy the way Glen Miller played.
Songs that made the hit parade.
Guys like us, we had it made.
Those were the days.

And you knew who you were then,
Boys were boys and men where men.
Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover today

Didn't need no welfare state
Everybody pulled their weight
Gee our old La Salle ran great.
Those were the daaaaaaaaaaaaaays!
