All In The Family: The Complete 5th Season (DVD)

Synopsis

The fifth season of ALL IN THE FAMILY continues its trailblazing formula, tackling controversial issues with shockingly irreverent humor. But this would be a year of change for Archie (Carroll O'Connor) and Edith (Jean Stapleton), with friends moving on up and family moving out. Like the rest of the country, the Bunkers cope with rising inflation (in a multi-episode storyline), causing Edith to join the workforce. Meanwhile, next-door neighbors the Jeffersons leave their modest Queens house for a "deluxe apartment in the sky;" the pilot for the spin-off series "The Jeffersons" appears here as an episode of ALL IN THE FAMILY. By the end of the season, Mike (Rob Reiner) and Gloria (Sally Struthers) decide it's high time to move out of Archie's house to find their own place to live. Nominated for multiple Emmy® and Golden Globe® awards, the fifth season also includes a special episode looking back at the show's highlights, hosted by the legendary Academy Award® winner Henry Fonda (1982 Best Actor in a Leading Role, On Golden Pond; 1981 Honorary Award).
