Archie Bunker's Place (1979)
Archie Bunker's Place is an American sitcom originally broadcast on the CBS network, conceived in 1979 as a spin-off and continuation of All in the Family.

In its first season, the show performed so well that it knocked Mork & Mindy out of its new Sunday night time slot.
