Yeah, it was really well-done. It's still funny all these decades later, in a way that its semi-spinoffs like Maude and Sanford and Son are not.
But one line from the song bugged me.
Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.
Maybe Archie's old La Salle ran great, but he did not vote for Herbert Hoover.
He surely voted for Nixon in '68 and '72, but in 1932, he just as surely voted for FDR.
He might not have voted for Al Smith in 1928 (if he was old enough to vote), because Al Smith was a Catholic. He would have had to choose his poison--vote for a Catholic, vote for a Republican, or just abstain from the two horrible choices.

Heh! I just realized that the video clip had the "complete version" of the theme song. Some lines I never heard before were in there.

Are you saying Sanford and Son is NOT funny?

I don't think Sanford and Sons was a Family spinoff.  Perhaps you were thinking of The Jeffersons?
Sanford and Sons was a US version of the British Steptoe and Sons.

All n the Family was a little before my time, but even watching the reruns it felt dated.  I never really watched it. I did watch the Jeffersons, they had it on reruns right after the news.

You're right about Sanford and Son. It wasn't a spinoff of All in the Family.
But I said "semi-spinoff" because it was by Norman Lear, and without All in the Family Lear would not have had the cachet to get Sanford and Son on the Air.

I didn't like All In The family and I didn't like The Jeffersons.  They featured a lot of that super-negative put-down humor,  and that stuff just has never really resonated with me.

Not sure I ever saw Sanford and Son though I don't think anyone could ever forget the theme song.

The thing about All in the Family was that they addressed subjects that nobody else had the balls to do. They addressed these subjects so point blank in an absurd manner and was extremely funny

The episode where Sammy Davis meets Archie comes to mind:

Yep.  They skewered absurd ideas no matter if they were left or right.   Edith was the reminder that a good heart is what is important.

Maybe I'll give it a watch.  I'm assuming you can find it on AMC or TNT or something?
