"Norman Lear's groundbreaking sitcom stars Carroll O'Connor as cranky conservative Archie Bunker and Jean Stapleton as his long-suffering wife, Edith. Rounding out the clan is daughter Gloria (Sally Struthers) and her hippie husband, Michael (Rob Reiner) aka "Meathead." Set in the blue-collar enclave of Queens, N.Y., the show deftly illustrates the country's growing generation gap, picking up countless awards and spawning several spinoffs."
