ALL IN THE FAMILY: JUDGING BOOKS BY COVERS (TV)

Summary

One in this comedy series about a working-class household presided over by the opinionated Archie Bunker.

In this episode, Archie's down-home conservative attitude is on full display when Mike and Gloria bring their friend Roger to lunch. Archie is immediately upset at the presence of what he calls "the fairy" and "the pansy," "who's as queer as a four-dollar bill." When it appears that Archie's buddy Steve, an ex-football player, is gay, Archie sees his tough Irish lifestyle threatened. Commercials deleted.
