Never Aired: All in the Family cast reacts to the 1975 mandated "Family Viewing Hour"

In 1975, the FCC mandated that 8-9 PM ET be reserved as "The Family Viewing Hour," in which only family friendly programming would air (as apparently there was too much sex and violence on television). Because of this, All in the Family had to move its time of airing from 8 PM on Saturday to 9 PM on Monday. The Family Viewing Hour was rescinded two years later.

The crew expresses their reaction to The Family Viewing Hour with a variation on their theme song. This footage was never aired and was only seen by the studio audience.

Pretty funny and I know you didn't title the video but I hate the cliche of "rare" videos on the internet. Nothing that is digitized on the internet is rare as it can be reproduced and copied infinitely with no quality loss.

not entirely true richard

a piece of digital media can technically be rare if say, for every 2 people that had copies of it, 5000 people wanted to see it. i think what you meant was that nothing on the internet can STAY rare~

either way you're a fat black` man in charge of supervising piping

Yeah. It would have simply been enough to have said that it never aired.

"Rarely been seen" would probably be an appropriate description. But not a permanent one.

Either way, it was funny. I love odd little extras like this.
