 - Archie Bunker's Later YearsTo answer A.Markiewics'question,ABP did not have any major farewell finale.It just disappeared from the airwaves from out of the blue in 1983,along with it's short lived spinoff Gloria.The reason apparently being,by that time the series had evolved into something barely recognizable from it's original format. ABP's first season was basically still the 70s era.With Edith still alive and well.Even though she only appeared in four episodes.Mike and Gloria were still together too.Though the two part Thanksgiving episode would turn out to be the last time the show's original four main principals would be together.In general the series sustained much of the AITF flavour. The format really began to change once Edith passed on at the start of the following season. Rating:  - Archie Bunkers PlaceABP was a funny funny show, but I think that they didn't use Jean STapleton (ex-Edith Baines-Bunker) enough, which I think was her decision anyway, but nonetheless, it was a funny show. I was happy to see it continue after AITF.I think ABP ran for 4 seasons, but did it ever have a series finale or did it just go off the air? I like shows that actually have a Finale ending, I think the fans like a kind of closure on tehir favorite shows. WHo knows, maybe I'm alone in that way of thinking, lol. Rating: - PRETTY GOOD SPIN OFF TO A CLASSICA PRETTY GOOD SPIN OFF TO A CLASSIC Rating:  - What a walk down memory lane!You just can not find this show on TV. I watch All in the Family all the time on cable. But could never find Archie Bunker's Place on TV. It was a great walk down memory lane to be able to see this show. Rating: - Better than I rememberI bought the set and was very surprised to find that the episodes were much better than I remember them. I have to admit that they do not compare with the early All in the Family episodes, but neither do the later All in the Family episodes. But none the less, I am glad they are on DVD and am glad that I purchased them. Does anyone know if the second season will be available soon?
