Cheers to you! You know so much about All in the Family, you're practically part of the family.
Only missed #10 about Edith's 50th birthday. Odd question.

There were no lyrics to the closing theme, it's just a piano instrumental
9/12.
9 out of 12.
I can understand why Mickey Rooney turned down the role. After reading the script and seeing how repugnant the Archie Bunker character was, he felt the character would be hated by the audience. He told the producers that they'll be crucified if this show actually got on the air.

#4- Penny Marshall was originally considered for the part of Gloria.
I can't remember if it was a quiz here where I mentioned that, along with the two reasons she didn't get the part. The first reason was they didn't think Penny looked enough like Carroll O'Conner to be his daughter, but the second reason was they didn't think she looked like someone who would be married to Rob Reiner.
9 of 12. Not too bad seeing that I was never really a fan of the show when it was on in the '70's. I guess it was because back then I knew too many opinionated people like Archie, and I didn't like how he treated Edith, so I really didn't find it too entertaining. My Dad however, was not at all like Archie, but he had the exact same jacket as Archie! We kidded him a lot about that one!
Aced it. My favorite episode is where Edith is obsessed with Cling Peaches. Haven’t seen it since it came out.
"...in heavy syrup!"
8/12. If I'm not mistaken, the closing theme for AITF was a song called "Remembering You". It was a piano piece but I didn't know it had lyrics. Good melody since I play a little piano myself. VERY little.
Yes, and the lyrics were written by O'Connor! They weren't performed on the show but he did record them on an album my mother had!
O’Connor performed the song on an episode of Sonny & Cher’s variety show. I think it’s on YouTube. It sounds nice with the lyrics.
