All in the Family

Weeknights at 8p ET | 5p PT

A working-class man constantly squabbles with his family over the important issues of the day. All in the Family continually leads lists of the greatest television series in history, and it's clear to see why. Norman Lear's groundbreaking sitcom tackled hot topics that other shows were afraid to touch and set a record as the first television series to top the Neilsen ratings for five consecutive years.

Gloria Poses in the Nude

Mike's artist friend, Szabo, is coming to the Bunker's house for a visit. Archie is a bit perplexed for two reasons. First, he is Hungarian. The other is that he sketches models in the nude. Szabo gets a great idea that Gloria should pose in the nude for him (an idea Gloria is all for). However, Archie is dead set against it and Mike doesn't seem to have any problems with it. That is, until Archie's nagging leads to him having second thoughts.

Christmas Day at the Bunkers'

It's Christmas Day and Archie is the only one not in the Christmas spirit. Mike and Gloria question him, but he refuses to reveal what's bugging him. The Jeffersons come over to wish the Bunkers a "Merry Christmas", but this does anything but cheer Archie up especially since Henry is dressed as Santa.

Edith's Christmas Story

The Christmas season has everyone in the Christmas spirit. For a joke, Archie purchases some fake nose and mustache glasses that were on sale, but Mike also happened to go to that same store and hit that same sale. Meanwhile, Edith returns from a doctor checkup and confides in Gloria the fact that she has a lump in her breast and she fears it may be breast cancer.
