All in the Families

After my big yard sale, I stopped buying records at the same indiscriminate pace. I've only bought around 5 or 6 since then, and this was the first one, because I HAD TO!

Yep, one of my all-time favorite TV shows. I knew these were out there, but I'm pretty sure this is the first time I'd actually seen one.

It's comprised of the theme song and audio clips from the show of some of their more memorable conversations and arguments.

Interesting story. There were a LOT of people who could relate to Archie Bunker in some way. Thankfully, I saw none of it in my family, and very little of it in my extended family. (my grandparents tended to say 'Chinese man' or 'black man,' etc...instead of just saying 'man,' which would've sufficed, but that's about it, really)

Not too long ago, I found another album I just HAD TO grab, especially considering the first one...

Yep, the series that All in the Family was based on! I haven't seen a lot of it, but the format is the same, of course, and even this cover shows you the same type of characters.

Kinda neat that they presented it like a page from a script.

Mike was the annoying one in both versions. Haha.

That first track pretty much sums up both series to a T.

Batmans and Sherlocks and gorillas...

Oh my!

Used to love these book/record deals growing up, especially the Star Wars ones. I think I still have all mine. Maybe I should post them sometime. This is the only Batman one I have.

Can't remember, but I'm guessing it's a Gorilla Grodd story. And possibly a Scarecrow (Joanthan Crane) story. ;)

I like this section in the 'also available' part of the book. If they had made that episode for real, I wonder who could've played the Conan-looking guy. Maybe Steve Reeves or Reg Park?

Conniff's little girl

See, I said little girl because this lady reminds me of Sally Struthers, who played Gloria "Little Girl" Bunker/Stivic.

I didn't tell Ray, so he's trying to figure out what I mean.

P.S. Stay tuned for more Sally Struthers...even though she wasn't technically in this one.
