Archie Bunker lived in Queens.I can't top their crime episode when Cleavon Little and Demond Wilson broke into the Bunker's house,while they were at a movie.But as bad as crime was in 1971,these days,you'd have to think Archie would have a long,accurate,hilarious list of things to say about the Adams' crime wave,while Mike and Gloria would defend the blackie.That however,is not in this episode.

ALL IN THE FAMILY 2022--EPISODE 3

Archie:So far this week,the j-boos have broken into the McNabbs on Monday,the Heffners house the next day--and then--on the other side of us--the Lorenzo's,on Wednesday.

Edith:They skipped us.I guess we don't have anything the crooks are interested in stealing.

Archie:What are YOU talking about?This chair of mine is an antique--but the coons don't know anything about dem kinds of collector's items.

Mike:Apparently they do--that's why it's still sitting here.

Archie:SHUT UP--YOU.

Mike:I'm not complaining Arch,you figured out the easy way to prevent break-ins--own 20 year old furniture.

Archie(angry first--then changes expression):Ya know Meathead,you might have sumpthin there--except--it's only 19 years old--now GET AWAY FROM ME!

(Mike cracks a smile,shakes his head).

Gloria:Honey,we better get moving if we're going to catch the bus to go the museum today.

Archie:HOLD IT--no offspring of mine's going on a New York city bus in the year of our Lord,2022--I forbid it.The only thing more dangerous than taking a city bus is spending a day with the the coons and P.R.s at Rykers--and I'd almost take my chances at Rykers.Here--here's 20 bucks--take a cab.

Gloria:Thank you,daddy.

Edith:That's very thoughtful,Archie.

Archie:It's a LOAN,little goil--you'll pay me back outta your next paycheck from Kresslers.I'd ask the Meathead for the money back,but--as usual---no el-jobbo.

Mike:All right Arch,you know I'm a full time student.

Archie:Yeah,of commie crappola.

Gloria:The cab's here--let's go Michael.

Edith:See ya later you two.

(Mike and Gloria leave--Archie and Edith sit down in their living room chairs)

Edith:I LIKE our furniture,Archie.

(Archie's face softens)

Archie:You know something Edith?You're a pip--a real pip.

End of show

I need a proofreader,sometimes,I guess.Add "to" ,where Gloria says:,"the bus to go(to)the museum today."

And one less "the"--where Archie says :"spending the day with the coons and P.R.s"

Hey,it was 2 in the morning.

What is it about blacks and rape? Outside observers blame the conflict, not the perps but I don't accept that, while conflicts may exacerbate, there's a genetic predisposition at work in there somewhere.
