The 1965 - 1975 British sitcom "Till Death Us Do Part" was the inspiration for the U.S. classic sitcom "All in the Family" (1971 - 1979). The character of Archie Bunker (Carroll O'Connor) on the U.S. show was modeled after Alf Garnett from the British show. In "All in the Family", the life of the working-class bigot (Archie Bunker) and his family is open to great scrutiny.

With the series ("All in the Family"), it became very popular in the United States. According to experts, it became one of the greatest television series in the history of American television. It was ranked number one in the yearly Nielsen ratings from 1971 to 1976. It became the first television series to reach the milestone of having topped the Nielsen ratings for five consecutive years.

This comedy series looked at the state of Americans living in the country through the eyes of an argumentative but loving family. It gave America some of the most fully dimensional characters in television history. Jokes on the show had a million targets. They were about race, politics, sex, and human foibles. Humor was firmly rooted in the television main characters (Archie, Edith, Mike, and Gloria).
