S1E1: All in the Family
Episode 245
Thursday, 18 December, 2025
All in the Family is a sitcom created by Norman Lear that aired on CBS from 1971 to 1979. The show centers on Archie Bunker (Carroll O’Connor), a loud, stubborn, working-class man whose beliefs are constantly challenged by his son-in-law and daughter. What set the show apart was its ability to use comedy to put taboo subjects like racism, sexism, politics, and religion front and center. Initially divisive, All in the Family quickly became both a massive ratings hit and a cultural lightning rod. Critics recognized it as bold, as it trusted audiences to laugh while being uncomfortable. The series spent five consecutive seasons as the number-one show on television. Decades later, it remains one of the most influential comedies ever made. Listen as the S1E1 boys deep dive the show's pilot episode, "Meet The Bunkers". Starring: Carroll O'Connor, Jean Stapleton, Sally Struthers, Rob Reiner, & Mike Evans www.S1E1POD.com Instagram & X (Twitter): @S1E1POD
