Ep 284: "All in the Family" Revisited

Oh, Archieeee. Edith Bunker (as portrayed by Jean Stapleton) was a force of nature. At turns both naïve and loud, Edith’s point of view was critical to the success of the 70’s sitcom, All in the Family, for nine seasons. Season 8, however, was a harrowing one for the beloved housewife. Yes, dear listener, we are venturing into some “very special episodes” of the acclaimed TV show. “Edith’s 50th Birthday” was a groundbreaking portrayal of s*xual assault, survival, and trauma. “Edith’s Crisis of Faith” was a gut-wrenching depiction of a murderous hate crime and how it can challenge one’s religious beliefs. Join the Old Roommates as they revisit both special episodes all through their middle-aged lens. Listen to this.
