* LongRunner: Between ''All in the Family'' and this show, Archie Bunker's story ran for a massive 13 seasons.

* CrappyHolidays: In "Thanksgiving Reunion", Mike and Gloria come home to visit from California, but at dinner it's revealed that Mike lost his job after participating in a nude anti-nuclear protest, causing Archie to (naturally) hit the roof and storm out of the house. They do ultimately patch things up, however (including one last SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoment between Archie and Mike), and the episode ends with a nice scene of the Bunkers and Stivics enjoying leftover turkey together in the kitchen.

** Murray returns for a season 4 episode.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: After being a semi-regular since the ''All in the Family'' days, Archie's pal Hank Pivnik disappears without explanation following season one.
** Veronica Rooney disappears early in season 4, as does Ellen Canby.

* FranchiseZombie: Despite being a sequel series that didn't have the input of ''All in the Family'' creator NormanLear, and lacked most of the original cast, this show somehow managed to shamble along for a full four seasons.

* KilledOffForReal: Edith dies off-screen between seasons due to a stroke. A major part of the Season 2 opener is Archie trying to cope with her death.

* LoveCannotOvercome: It's revealed that Mike's political views overwhelmed Gloria and finally broke their marriage.

Following the previous series, [[UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist Archie Bunker]] (Carroll O'Connor) and his wife Edith (Jean Stapleton) continued to nag each other and deal with Archie's ''very conservative'' views, all while attempting to raise their adopted grandniece, Stephanie (Danielle Brisebois), who was rapidly growing up. The major difference in this series was that most of the stories were set at the eponymous [[LocalHangout neighborhood tavern]] he'd purchased in the eighth-season premiere of ''AITF''. The tavern was the place for him to sound off on current issues, get support from his friends, and argue with the bar's liberal, Jewish co-owner Murray Klein (Martin Balsam), as well as wisecracking cook Veronica Rooney (Anne Meara).

'''''Archie Bunker's Place''''' was a WorkCom comedy-drama, and a continuation of the classic sitcom ''Series/AllInTheFamily'', which began airing on Creator/{{CBS}} in 1979. While never as popular or acclaimed as its predecessor, the show maintained a large enough audience to last four seasons, ending its run in 1983.
