The pictures have disappered.
I remember my mom and her siblings saying that Grandpa had an "Archie Bunker for President" t-shirt, and that it was his favorite shirt.

Reruns in the last season
This isn't an issue specific to All in the Family -it's applicable to all articles about TV shows on Wikipedia - but I don't know how to write about a last season's summer reruns in an article that mentions the last airdate. The truth of the matter is that CBS broadcast episodes of AiTF past April 1979 - they did so right on through the summer in reruns. So while I understand the change you made, Mike, it also isn't exactly true. But I don't know quite how to say it in the article - that the last original episode aired in April but reruns (i.e., CBS broadcasting the series) continued right up through the summer. Ideas? Because this is a common problem on all of these articles and it'd be great to come to some kind of consensus for the infoboxes, etc. Moncrief 06:18, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
- You can always say "final original episode aired on April so and so 1979" and have it be true. I think it's a given that a show still airs reruns in the summer. Mike H 03:18, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)
- I agree that most Americans realize that US shows air summer reruns (or did nearly universally until recently), but not all readers of Wikipedia will know this (for example, British readers from an entirely different system of TV airings). I clarified it in this case, but I still think it's something we need to be aware of in other TV articles. I don't have the answer. Moncrief 03:22, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)
