J walks to a brand-new ATM. Inserts his ATM card. Waits a little longer than he should, checking the options. All of a sudden, an electronic voice with a thick Brooklyn accent yells out:
"Hey, MEATHEAD, gitovahe'e and press ENCHER, will ya?".
Wasn't that show great? I think sitcoms made a turn of the worse after "All In The Family" in the late 70's, and through most of the 80's. No other TV show in history could possibly insult and alienate so many ethnic groups in 21 minutes. :)I don't think the show *could* be made today. I don't think anyone would take that sort of risk...

Who thinks the DVD's of the first 2 seasons of "All In The Family" are awesome. Two thumbs up.
