On this day, November 2, 1980, the Season 2 premiere of Archie Bunker’s Place aired, marking a memorable and emotional episode with the passing of Edith Bunker, portrayed by Jean Stapleton. Edith’s death from a stroke was a poignant moment that deeply affected viewers, as her character had been a beloved part of American television since All in the Family. The episode allowed Archie, played by Carroll O’Connor, to show a more vulnerable side, making it one of the series’ most impactful moments.

Who remembers this emotional episode? Did Edith’s passing leave a lasting impression on you?
