nearly tamed over me i thought i was in the wrong turn [Laughter] why do you fight it the world's changing that's right that's what the reverend felter was saying you two should have heard him of course mr religion here wasn't seeing eye to eye with the sermon what sermon that was socialist propaganda pure and similar don't give me that look you didn't think it was so hot neither i said it was different that's all but i didn't curse the reverend from right there in the front you never heard me besides i ain't sitting still for no preacher telling me that i'm to blame for all this breakdown and law and order that's going on why not we're all to blame for not paying attention to the cause of it the cause of it i'll tell you the cause of it the cause of it is these saab sisters like irreverent filter and the bleeding hearts and weeping nellie's like used to like us yeah i think we better eat now no no no wait a second wait a second it's you me yeah that's right you the property owner which with your 24-inch tvs and your four-slice toasters your ice-making refrigerators that's all you care about archie is what you've got and how you can keep it oh well you'd care about it too sonny boy if you had anything it wasn't living on for me without a pot to peel a potato wait a second you're the one you're the one who said i could stay here while i was in school i thought it was gonna be for a year while you learn to trade or something i didn't think you was going to wind up in college learning how to be a subversive that's that's ridiculous i just want to learn a little bit about society so i can help people people your mother-in-law and me as people help us with you go to work i know what's bothering you you're upset because i was nailing you on that law and order thing you naming me yeah that's right now i'm not now i'm going to tell you something michael no no wait a second i'm i'm sorry gloria i know i promise but i feel i got to say this you know why we got a breakdown in law and order in this country archie because we got poverty real poverty and you know why we got that because guys like you are unwilling to give the black man the mexican-american and all the other minorities that justin rifle harder and share the american dream who said he wasn't smart that's beautiful michael beautiful oh that's gorgeous now let me tell you something if your speaks in your space want the rightful share of the american dream let him get out there and hustle for it just like i do yeah but archie you're forgetting one thing you didn't have to hustle with a black skin no i didn't have to hustle with one arm and one leg neither so what so you're admitting that the black man is handicapped oh no no mourn me he's just as good as me wait now i suppose you're gonna tell me that the black man has had the same opportunity in this country as you more he's had more i didn't have no million people out there marching and protesting to get me my job no his uncle got it for him [Applause] all i'm saying is don't blame me you and that reverend bleeding heart felt you're up there in his ivory shower now that's enough i'm talking about a man of the cloth that way god could punish you for that god what god yeah what god what was that did you hear him did you hear her what was that remark sonny i think we better eat now i want to know what you meant by what god it's nothing archie it's nothing you need god so forget it that's no way to talk on the sabbath mike stifling way to talk to your father-in-law peter as i told you you mean sunday is a day of peace and rest and you the nice grant eat it will you stifle archie we're all will you stifle don't touch nothing nobody eats nothing around here we get this thing straight now sonny boy you made a certain referential remark there ago along the following lines what god you said and i heard your wife my flesh and blood repeat it so let's hear it again what did you mean by what god we just don't see any evidence of god that's all that's right daddy that's right kids well i knew we had a couple of pinkos in this house but i didn't know we had atheists did you know that i'd eat it that we had a pair of atheists under this roof maybe if we could just eat a little something where are you you silly thing back i don't want no more arguments we are not arguing we're discussing i don't care what you call it it's still arguing we're having what we always have around here a discussion i don't see the difference that's because you're a thinker you get that ridiculous hat off your head now when you stay out of this so long as you don't argue you just stay the hell out of this nearly bite the hand off so what did he do he helps himself to coop and then he turns the handle around the other way i didn't do it on purpose let me see it really hurts huh yeah right about in there yeah you know what i think we ought to do what do you think i think we ought to [Applause] eat get me over to ketchup there were you oh ketchup on eggs daddy really daddy really has been eating ketchup on eggs since before you was born little girl so don't let it concern you huh [Laughter] archie that's terrible well who's for more eggs sure i can't help you dear not today mom today you said if i need any help michael can do it well i won't do him no harm neither last time i seen him lifting the hand around here he was testing his deodorant oh leave him alone yeah what do you want from me anyway i i don't have time to do anything i'm i'm studying six hours i'm in class six hours you know it's not easy going to college it's hard work for you it's like building a pyramids i'll tell you all that sociology and studying that welfare stuff i don't call that no hard work oh daddy leave him alone i think that it's beautiful that michael wants to help the under privilege listen he wants to help the underprivileged let him start with himself he's got no brains he's got no ambition if that ain't underprivileged i don't know what that's is mother we're moving out of here i'm not gonna stay in this house another minute to see my husband insulted like that archie say you're sorry if she leaves here she'll be dead inside a year you don't have to worry they ain't going low with well you don't know what it is archie she can't be cleaning an apartment and cooking and marketing why dr feinstein says she's anemic

who's attacking the whole race you are you just said i was the laziest white man you ever met what's the matter with that white man you ever met yeah you implying that the blacks are even lazy wait a minute meathead you said that not me i never said your black beauties was lazy it's just their systems is geared a little slower than the rest of it [Music] you don't believe me look it up there's no hope for him no hope at all i'm not prejudiced any man deserves my respect he's gonna get it regardless of his color what do you call them names like black beauties for now that's where i got you mr liberal because there's a black guy that works down the building with me and he's got a bumper sticker on his car that says black is beautiful right so what's the matter with black beauties it's nicer than when he called him coons [Applause] black beauties is cozy with them it's kosher with me hey lionel hey how's it going come on come on in you know in a way we were just talking about you oh yeah

I've always wondered why sitcom pilots are sometimes filmed with a single camera for the pilot and then switch over to a multi-camera when the show is picked up. I know the Married With Children pilot was single camera and I'm sure there were others.
