TRIVIA (2)
ADD TRIVIA-
Archie seems to have mellowed a bit regarding the Jefferson family being that Louise comes for the wake, bringing the Bunkers a cake. However, Archie still feels uncomfortable about what his family and friends will think about Louise, prompting the classic line, "Edith try and get an apron around her, maybe they'll think she's the maid".
-
It was mentioned that Archie has a sister, Elmer, and a brother, Phil. First of all in other episodes Archie has no sister and has a brother whose name was Fred, not Phil.

Archie calls a relative in Cicero, IL to ask for money. At the time Cicero was a city that the Rev. Martin Luther King referred to as one of the most "segregated and intolerent cities north of Mississippi", most likely full of "Archie Bunker types". Ironically, Cicero is now 78% Hispanic.
