Edith: Can or bottle?
Archie: We never buy bottles.
- Archie and Edith's easy-chairs are now on display at the Smithsonian.
- In 1979, the series was reformatted as Archie Bunker's Place.
- During a contract hold out, Carroll O'Connor missed the taping of four episodes. Three episodes were filmed about Archie failing to return from a convention. The producers gave O'Connor an ultimatum, that the story arc could conclude with Edith finding out that Archie had been murdered. A fourth episode filmed during O'Connor's hold out has no mention of Archie at all, which can be viewed as a pilot of an Archie-less version of the show. This episode was not broadcast in sequence, but was held back and shown months later.
- With all of its spin-offs included, save 704 Hauser, All in the Family ran for 15 straight years: All in the Family, Maude, Good Times, The Jeffersons, Archie Bunker's Place, Checking In, Gloria.
- Notoriously, the first toilet flush in prime time television was heard on this show.
