ARCHIE BUNKER TRIVIA

[crazyphil]

I was watching an All In The Family re-run recently. Archie was
correcting the meathead, telling him he was not in the Army.
He was in the Army Air Corps.

Wondering if it was ever mentioned where he served in WWII
in the Army Air Corps and what was his duty?

'Archie is a World War II veteran who had been based in Foggia, Italy for 22 months. During a doctor's appointment it is stated that Archie had an undistinguished military record for his non-combat ground role in the Air Corps, later called the Army Air Forces, which at the time was a branch of the United States Army. Archie often insisted that he was a member of the Air Corps. He received the Good Conduct Medal, and in the All in the Family episode "Archie's Civil Rights", it is disclosed he also received the Purple Heart for being hit in his buttocks by shrapnel.'....wikipedia

My day is now complete.

We have the whole "All In The Family" series on DVD and watch every night before going to sleep. I doubt I could even fall asleep w/o it.

Good old Arch!

OK, what type of water did Archie refuse to drink?

Kitchen water was OK but not from the upstairs bath


Now which was the correct way to put on one's shoes?

 

[Milton]

A sock and a sock and a shoe and a shoe.

 

[Rudi]

Yep, bathroom water was no-go. You win a cookie!

And who was it who put on a sock and a shoe and sock and a shoe? Bonus pts. as to why.

I remember it being Meathead.

 

[SC_Mike]

I remember someone asked him where he'd gotten shot, he replied it was in the "South of France".

 

[Waveski]

My favorite Bunkerism : Gloria is on an anti-gun rant and tells Archie how many people are shot and killed each year in New York ... Archie responds by saying "Would you feel better little girl if they was all pushed outta windows?"

Meathead figured 1 sock and 1 shoe and if he had to leave house he could hop on one foot.

Gotta admit I'm a sock and a shoe man, getting too old and out of shape(fat) to bend down to the same foot twice.

 

[Alpo]

Sock then shoe makes so much more sense. If I put on a sock then put my foot on the floor so I can put the sock on the other foot, the first sock is now dirty, because no matter how good a housekeeper Edith is, the floor is dirty. I put on a sock, thenI put my shoe on, then I put my foot on the floor.

I have not worn socks since I retired.

I have not worn socks since I retired.

With me, most of the time it's a Croc and a Croc.

A sock and a sock and a shoe and a shoe.

I never thought about the order of putting on my shoes & sox before this episode.

What was Archie's "common sense" idea for stopping skyjackings?
