Trivia
This was the first pilot filmed. ABC turned it down and another pilot (titled "Those Were the Days") was filmed for CBS. The second pilot was not shown until TV Land aired it in 1998, but at that time this pilot was believed to be lost. This pilot was first released to the public on the DVD set "The Norman Lear Collection" in 2009.

Quotes
Edith Justice: Of course, Mr. Religion here wasn't seein' eye to eye with the sermon.
Archie Justice: What sermon? That there was pure socialist propaganda and don't give me that look, you didn't think it was so hot neither.
Edith Justice: I just said it was different, that's all, but I didn't curse the reverend from right there in the front pew.

Calling Rob Reiner, Sally Struthers and Mike Evans

This is obviously a curio, if you're any kind of fan of the series. It's also pretty bad. Archie wears a toupee here. Why? The family name is "Justice." Why? Meathead's character is named "Richard," and he's Irish rather than Polish. Why? We have Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton, but even they can't make this pilot work. The other 3 actors are genuinely bad in their respective roles (refer to my heading). Most TV episodes or movies that were "lost" for decades might just as well have stayed lost. This pilot is no exception.
