Quoting:
I remember the show when it first came out. Gloria and Meathead had actually been off the show since "All In The Family". Maureen Stapleton was on for a little while but decided she didn't want to do the show any more so they had Edith's character pass away in her sleep. I remember that episode when I was a kid but not since and I understand that they will not show it in syndication. So Archie raises his niece Stephanie and another character, another niece I believe. And they did bring Gloria back for a spi-off show of her own.

Why won't they show that episode? I think that would be a huge episode, considering she was a main character in All in the Family. I wonder if anyone has a copy of that show. Was it good? Did they have a good goodbye for Edith? I hope they air it.

I'm don't know why they don't show it - my info could be wrong. I remember reading it on a "All In The Family" fan website - unfortunatly I lost the link. I don't remember the full episode but do recall the scene where Archie has finally come to realize that Edith is really gone and he his "speaking" to her - finally saying his goodbye. It would be really interesting to find out if that someone has a copy of that episode.

According to TV Guide, that episode will be on today, Saturday the 25th on TVLand. Check your listings.

I for one, want to see this episode. Carol O'Conner is such a good actor. He can set up punchlines better than anyone else I can think of.

Quick question for everyone. Did Edith appear in any of these "Archie Bunker's Place" shows. I read somewhere that her death episode occured at the start of season two. Was she in any episodes in season one?

I'd like to see it again too - thanks for the info.
I've been catching some of the TV Land episodes and Edith does appear in season one.

Quoting:
   I searched for info on the "Death of Edith" episode some time back and learned that there never was one.  "Archie Bunker's Place" supposedly picks-up some time after Edith's death and she is mentioned in only a few episodes (in dialogue between Archie and Stephanie), and then, only rarely.

What year did episode appear? 1982 or 1983?

It was a two part episode, which aired at the start of the second season. I would guess 1981, as the first season aired in 1980.

Thanks for the heads up.  I just watched both episodes and spent an hour bawling like a baby.

It was a good episode, and my eyes got wet too. Archie Bunker's Place is a good series. It is missing some of the edge that All in the Family had, but that may not be a bad thing.

Quoting:
I was a kid when All In The Family was on the air and a teenager when they showed Archie Bunker's Place.  I remember both shows quite well, as well as the episode in which Edith's character dies.  It was very sad.  :(

As cutting as All in the Family was, I expected something more from the Edith death episode. I dunno what I expected, maybe a picture of her; or gloria and mike to make an apperance. I liked the episode, but I think it was missing some important charaters. The kid was a good addition, as it is something else that attaches this show with the old one.

I also like Archie's buisness partner. What a good job of setting up jokes he does. And did anyone notice that the cook is Ben Stillers mom? She has nice jugs too.
