8/10

A 90 minute retrospective hosted by Norman Lear. Interestingly, this was done after Rob Reiner and Sally Struthers had left the show. Most of the clips are from seasons 6-8. None from season 9. Some good moments recalled, but much more that were left out. Most notably, the very first episode, Meet the Bunkers, is not referenced at all. Lear thought people would rather watch Archie changing little Joey's diaper, than any of the great moments from the series' first episode. Not in my opinion. I would have happily sacrificed the footage of the audience members, in favor of more clips of better episodes. Trivia note: Narrated by Dick Tufeld, who was the voice of the Robot on Lost in Space. He should have opened with "Danger, Archie Bunker!"
