Thread: 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 The Family Viewing Hour was rescinded two years later.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.

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