TRANSCRIPT
The headline is ''All in the Family' introduces the world to foul-mouthed Archie Bunker.
CBS rolled the dice last night with a new situation comedy, 'All in the Family,' which will either be the biggest hit of the season or the biggest bomb.'
So there you go - that's what it says.
Eight.
We did eight seasons.
You know, you're right, Archie.
You're right - the British are a bunch of pansies.
Pansies, faeries and sissies.
And the Japanese are a race of midgets, the Irish are boozers, the Mexicans are bandits.
And you polacks are meat heads.
