Line 6:
''[[Archie Bunker's Place]]'' (a continuation of the critically and commercially acclaimed sitcom ''[[All in The Family]]'') aired from 1979-1983 on [[CBS]]. While not as popular as its predecessor, the show maintained a large enough audience to last four seasons, ending its run in 1983.
Following the previous series, [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist|Archie Bunker]] (Carroll O'Connor) and his wife Edith (Jean Stapleton) continue to nag each other and deal with Archie's ''very conservative'' views, all while attempting to raise their adopted grandniece, Stephanie, who is rapidly growing up. The major difference in the series is that [[Tropacabana|most of the stories were set at Archie Bunker's Place]], the [[Local Hangout|neighborhood tavern]] he'd purchased in 1977 (in the eighth-season premiere of ''AITF''). The tavern was the place for him to sound off on current issues, get support from his friends, and argue with the bar's liberal, Jewish co-owner Murray Klein (Martin Balsam).
The series, like its predecessor, was set in the [[New York City]] borough of Queens. The opening and closing themes used re-scored [[Instrumental Theme Tune|instrumental]] versions of the songs from ''AITF''.
Line 33:
* [[Poorly-Disguised Pilot]]: "Gloria: The First Day", a repackaged (and unaired) episode which was intended to be the pilot for the series ''Gloria''.
* [[Put on a Bus]]: Murray Klein gets married and moves to California at the end of season 2.
* [[Tropacabana]]: As mentioned in the main text, most of the show's action takes place in the titular bar.
* [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist]]: Much like the original series, the source of most of the comedy comes from Archie and Murray's interactions at the bar.
* [[Very Special Episode]]: Several relating to pregnancy, drug and alcohol use.
