ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

bugsmoran29 I did watch all of the episodes of "Archie Bunker's" and I did enjoy it for the most part. However, the series puts me in mind of the slow vanishing of MASH from the television. Both shows probably had run their courses by 1979, but the networks kept them running because they were still major draws and they also were still head and shoulders above 90% of the other programs being aired. I also think the show ran right as the American economy dived into a decade-long recession. The nation had become a sadder and darker place and the sadness and darker atmosphere permeated this program. Archie never stopped missing Edith and the life they had in the Seventies. The Eighties was a lonelier and less funny place. I did think Stephanie, Harry, Murray and the rest of the cast were all just fine in their roles. "Archie Bunker's Place" was the end of an epoch.

MartinHafer "Archie Bunker's Place" is a TV series that probably never should have been made. It's a strange, neutered version of "All in the Family" with almost all of the edge and political message stripped away. What you have, essentially, is a nicer, more grandfatherly Archie supporting a show of mostly uninteresting characters...all set to an invasive and unwelcome laugh track.Early in the series, they killed off Edith...as Jean Stapleton was apparently tired after nine seasons of the previous series--plus the turn the new show took probably didn't please her. They'd already taken Mike and Gloria and the usual neighbors off the series* and now they replaced them with folks like of Barney Hefner (whose 'I am a big loser since my wife, Blanche, left me' routine wore thin very quickly...and continued throughout most of the series), countless soulless and faceless employees (it was obvious that the producers were trying in vain to find one who would work into the show properly), a cute kid who was simply annoying most of the time and later a niece who is essentially an older version of the unnecessary little girl.The show limped along for four seasons...which is inexplicable considering the high turnover of many of the characters and insipid scripts. But they weren't all bad. I recall one with Ann Meara struggling with alcoholism and it was exceptional...but the rare exception...and soon Meara was off the show as well! Overall, this is a bland and mostly inoffensive series...a show you'd NEVER expect from something that used to be "All in the Family".*With failing ratings, the producers brought back a divorced Gloria to move back in with Archie. Rarely have I seen a series that jumped the shark as many times as this one did!!UPDATE: Since my review, I've seen quite a few episodes of "Archie Bunker's Place". While I STILL maintain that it's a pale imitation of its predecessor and a real disappointment, the shows are decent time-passers. Mediocre in every way but tolerable if nothing better is on TV.

Brian Washington I would like to know who came up with the bright idea to keep the All In the Family franchise going. To me the show should have ended when Mike and Gloria left and moved to California. Without the dynamic between Archie and Mike, there was no way that this show would ever be as funny as it was. Also, for the most part, you know a show is in trouble when they decide to bring the cute kid in. This is just another case of a network trying to milk a show for everything its worth.

yonko This show never measured up to All in the Family. I was too young to really remember this show, but I have been watching it in TVland. It' not bad, but you can really see the Archie's jokes coming a mile away. I think this show lacked the emotion that All in the Family had. Archie's Place became your basic sitcom and it didn't have anything that really set it off from anything else. It had it's moments, though. But I think Murray Klein (Martin Balsam) was the best character on the show.
