Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, All in the Family earns its spot. All in the Family does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Archie Bunker, a working class bigot, constantly squabbles with his family over the important issues of the day. Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton lead a cast with the timing to make it work. It ran for 9 seasons (1971–1979), and the writing holds up across every one of them. The timing in All in the Family is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, All in the Family respects your intelligence. Viewers who responded to black-ish will find a lot to like here too. 9 seasons is a lot, but the quality holds all the way through. Carroll O'Connor sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.
