Marina, thank you for bringing the Bunker home back to life! I was born in 1965, and so I grew up watching “All In The Family” as a kid in the 70’s. So many fond memories. You are such an excellent host. Your attention to detail is unsurpassed! Thank you for everything you do, and for sharing it with the general public on CZcams. Much appreciated! ❤
@@barbaraflowers759 I couldn't find the painting. I put them in when I can. And I saw the copper jello mold, but had no idea how to make one. 😁 Good catches. Sounds like you know the show well.
I was born in 1960 and I grow up watching all in the family. Ever time it was on my mom and I all in the family. And when I see the reruns today. It brings back memories to me.

I wish he was still with us. I just watched a video of him and Jean Stapleton together on a talk show. That was fun to see - the banter and genuine love between them. Carroll didn't know Jean was coming on.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane I'll have to look that up. How sweet ♥ do you remember the show Growing Pains? Another favorite of mine, I always loved their house 🏡
@@nolagirl2458 I sure do. I plan on doing a tour of that home. I interviewed the art director of that show, Bill Brzeski for something else, but asked him questions about the set of Growing Pains. I'll include his comments when I do the home.
Glad it brought back good memories for you. It did for me too as I worked on it. In case you don't already know, I have made many other homes too. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: czcams.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
I enjoyed seeing the duplicate pillars separating the living room and dining room. Makes perfect sense. For future episodes, I would be interested in seeing your comments on the set from, "Father Knows Best," especially the upstairs bedrooms, which never seemed very clear to me.
Absolutely a favorite! I don't know what it was about this house that made me want to live there. As a little girl, into my teens, I drew house interiors. Each one I drew was based on a home I had lived in or visited or saw on tv. This house always spoke to me and I drew countless renditions of it. You did great!
My wife has been watching you channel for a while now and today she showed me this video which we watched together. I just want to say that all the people that aren't subscribed and not watching are really missing out. I am blown away by not only the time you take and the detail you put into the 3D models, but the research you do on the shows is unbelievable. To know things like this railing is shown in this episode but not in this one, etc. That is awesome!!! More people need to find out about your channel. Your work is amazing!!!
Marina, This is an absolute masterpiece. I've been an All in the Family Fanatic since my childhood, 55 now. I have wondered many times, what it would be like to look at all the nooks and crannies in the Bunker House. Now I have done that. Just outstanding work on your part. Thanks a million !!!!!!!!!!

Did Felix and Oscar move to a different apartment during the Odd Couple series? It’s definitely a different apartment early on. Though I don’t recall no episode where they moved.
Oh this was a wonderful treat, I loved touring the Bunker home and you even included the basement 😍 I am looking forward to you doing the Shady Rest, Petticoat Junction. The King of Queens home would be great to see too. Thank you for bringing these places to life. 😃
Watching this video, and equating classic lines to certain scenes is great. Also, for the upstairs--In the episode "The battle of the month" which I think was the last episode in season 3, the two bedrooms upstairs backed up to each other. Archie puts a glass to the wall above their bed to listen to gloria and the meathead arguing on the other side

There was also a makeshift bedroom in the attic that was mentioned. The episode where Archie’s freeloading cousin Oscar was visiting and died. Naturally, Archie hated him because Oscar picked on him as a kid. He said. Relatives all up and down the eastern seaboard and he picks my attic to die in.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane The only thing is that Oscar and the attic were never seen. So you just have to use your imagination about the attic. A later episode after they adopted Stephanie and she didn’t want to go with them to California to visit Mike and Gloria. Archie scared her in that the attic door must stay locked at all times. The he said he had a cousin who died up there. But told her well goodbye and don’t be scared. She of course ran after them. Funny stuff.
When I was eight years old my mom lived in a place that was pretty similar to the Bunkers. There are a lot of homes in that part of RI that date back to the era their home most likely dated back to (20's/30's to mid to late 40s). I was born in '74 and watched a ton of this show growing up. This is a really great overview.
I can't believe you actually got this home in detail. I lived in a very similar house back in the 70's, with one exception our house had three bedrooms, and you were correct assuming there was a matching bookcase on the other side because we had it just like that. And you got the downstairs to perfection. Congratulations, this brought fond memories of a bygone era. I did have a few tears when you described, Archie's and Mike's bonne voyage on the porch. I'm very old and more sentimental these days.
That's great to hear! I'm glad to know I got it right and from someone who lived in a similar home. Once I got that matching one in place it felt like a home.

Finally, I can sleep at night knowing what was in that odd little room off the dining room / near the basement door! I'm also surprised to see just how real-world the Bunker house is; eg, it doesn't have a diagonal wall for the front door, as do so many shows of the period -- something I never consciously picked up on until you pointed it out, Marina. Anyway... Thanks for yet another terrific re-creation! This is among my very faves.
So captivating! I love the small details! One in particular... the fact that none of the electrical outlets have a ground. They're all the basic two-prong outlet --- exactly as it would have been!
Thought I was getting just a fun tour of the Bunker house and ended up quick blinking trying to stop a couple tears 😆. You did an excellent job recreating this TV home and just as good of a job reminding us how much we loved this family, even though they only existed on the TV screen. There are no shows on TV these days that can make you love the characters like the ones back in these days. Probably the most touching scene ever was after Edith passed away and Archie goes to their room for the first time after her belongings were removed. He found one slipper of hers, left behind. That was a powerful scene to me. It's hard to watch and not get choked up.

I had to watch that scene on CZcams after I left my comment. One of the comments on that video said that Carroll wrote that scene and said it was a hard scene to do because he felt like he actually suffered the loss of his wife. I believe the emotions you saw were real and that's why he executed it so perfectly
Another wonderful video! I always loved that house. And I recall that the toilet flush was the first time that sound was heard on TV--very shocking at the time. That cookie jar at 8:58--yeah, my mom had one of those. It's mine now--actually I have two of them but I have no idea where the second came from! 😆
Another triumph! Marina, I can't imagine how many hours it takes you to do these--there is no detail too small to earn your care and attention. Thanks so much. In this episode, I love how you framed out the dining room with the additional built-in. That single built-in at the foot of the stairs always bugged me, and I never knew why--until I saw your set with its companion! As for future projects--I'll keep plugging for my request: I'd love to see Jessica's house from Murder, She Wrote. There's so much nuance and charm to that house, I think it would be a fascinating project and fun to see the finished product. Thanks again for all that you do!
Wow! Not sure how CZcams algorithms work but I am sure glad it suggested your video. I am blown away at the recreation of the All in The Family house. Being a child in the 70’s I remember fondly my grandparents and my folks watching this show. I too would watch and enjoy. Often a lot of the humor went way over my head. Archie reminds me, a lot like my own grandfather. I often could relate to the episode. Watching your recreation is almost like having a recreation of my own grandparent’s house 40 plus years later. It would be amazing to actually be able to have a exact recreation of my actually grandparents home but this is as close as it gets. Amazing work. Thanks for the Memories.
I love when these bring back good memories. I happen to be working on a tour of the home I grew up in right now. I'm going to send it to my parents and siblings. My dad built the house himself. I can't wait to "walk" through it again, just as it was. They moved after we were all grown.

Thank You!!! Been eagerly waiting for this one. I always loved the faux weathering on everything, just made it feel more like a real lower middle class home that so many could relate to. Great job!
Thank you for this, I grew up in the seventies and my Dad always watched re-runs of All in the Family and I learned alot from the show. Through later years we always said Dad was like Archie Bunker. My Dad passed away six months ago at the age of eighty one. Tears flowed down my face watching this with many wonderful memories of the laughter as I watched from the comfort of my childhood home looking into the home of the Bunkers!
Hi Marina! This is great! I always wanted to live in Darrin and Samantha's "Bewitched"House. And it always puzzled me how Archie and Edith started the show at the piano, but once the episode got going, it was like "where did the piano go?" LOL! Thanks for a great video and best wishes!
Ha! Yes. Exactly. Hopefully you saw the tours I made of the Bewitched home. If not - You can see that and all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: czcams.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
Hi Marina. I can't imagine the time and all the loving care you put into one of these constructions. Your videos are totally unique and wonderful. I happened upon your website several months ago and watched you tour the Hartleys home (Bob Newhart) and left with a smile on my face. I subscribed, but apparently forgot to ring the bell and don't remember getting any notifications until today. This one really did "ring a bell" with me. The one good thing about not keeping up over those months is that I have a good number to view any time I want. Your work is really excellent! I know you probably have so many suggestions that you'll never be able to satisfy everyone, but I'll add one more - the Barone house from Everybody Loves Raymond. There's certainly enough revealed over time in that series that you can work with. Best wishes!
Awesome work - what dedication to detail! I love your channel. This is one of your best episodes. Seeing Betty Garrett in this episode makes me think of Laverne and Shirley's iconic apartment (Milwaukee, not Hollywood). You'll have to do that one soon.
Another fantastic video Marina. I think this may be my favorite one! You really went above and beyond in the narration and providing the information you did. Another amazing job, worthy of an Oscar!🏆 Thank you so much!
you sure did a great job with this presentation of the Bunker home...those homes from decades ago, definitely had character, much the way, our home was during my growing up years in NY....the wallpaper, the wood arches, the old fashioned kitchen..all of that...thank you for doing this Bunker home...memories galore..
This is truly outstanding work - from creating the set, the visual tour and the wonderful commentary. You captured this bit of incredible history so well. As a kid of the 70's this was often watched every Saturday night in our family. Groundbreaking television indeed and your work captures that spirit.
I'm glad you liked the tour. This was definitely a classic, ground-breaking show. I have made many other homes too. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: czcams.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
Your videos are great! If you havent done this yet, I’d love to see the mansion from The Beverly Hillbillies. I know it had 37 bedrooms, so that may be too hard to do but a downstairs version would be cool. Either way, excellent channel! Great work.
Thanks for all the effort and thought that went into this presentation. Clearly this show meant a lot to you, as it did for so many of us. You captured just what made those episodes and that fictional house at 704 Houser so real.
Hauser Street - there was a short-lived (and deservedly so) spin-off in 1994 called "704 Hauser" which definitely cleared up the Houser/Hauser spelling question.

I loved it and I really appreciate it. I was 16 through 17 years old when I watched the show with my parents. I am so happy that you showed that little nook that always had the TV treys sitting in it. My eyes were always drawn back to that area as a kid. My dad was a lot like Archie. Being old myself and both my parents no longer around it brings back warm memories of a much much better time in my life. Thank you so much for the tour.
I always thought the Bunker's home was 'real' and 'lived in'. There was an episode when they burn their mortgage certificate , I really felt that like when my parents' home was all paid off.

So fun, so delighted you came across my feed. I use to note the sets and changes and tried to figure out the floorplans while I watched these episodes as a kid, my mother wasnt impressed- lol. Glad to see I'm not the only one and its wonderful to revisit homes that I roamed around in with my mind

This is fantastic! I’ve always enjoyed All in the Family. I never really thought much about the use of colour to tell a story, so this video offered a lot of important context. I was curious if you could make a video about Edna Garrett’s house/Edna’s Edibles from The Facts of Life. That’s another show I’ve always liked, but I’ve never been able to figure out the layout of that fictional house!

It's amazing, and a little depressing, to realize that an ordinary blue-collar house such as this one isn't all that affordable even for a middle-class family today.
The Bunker home in Queens has always reminded me of my parents' 3-storey duplex in Ossining, NY. The same slightly shabby style sense, the same coziness! I used to watch the show. Laughed at Archie's childishness (especially when he and Mr. Jefferson had spats) and just loved Edith.
I really enjoy your videos so so much. Thank you for these, they are amazing and pull together memories and bring for thought and appreciation for all those hours watching television growing up and rewatching them today. 🙏😊📺
Hi Marina! Scott here. First off, every aspect of this tour blew me away. Secondly, I think the aspect that really blew me over was the “nostalgic sepia” look the set designer was going for - to create an aesthetic that was like going through an old family photo album. In the 1970’s, this would have *resonated* with viewers, as the generation of sepia photos were still alive at that time. I’m also very drawn to the built-in room dividers which, in concert with the kitchen pass through, beautifully created flow from one room to the next while still separating each space. I love that kind of visual. *I was waiting with baited breath for that toilet flush!!!* I also love how you incorporated the personalities of the characters, as well as the vision for this show. All of that information and commentary is so necessary in order to understand the space we’re exploring. The family who interacted with that space was no more one-dimensional than the home itself. BOTH were multi-dimensional, which is what I think made this show so compelling. Lastly, here is my vote for the next space I would love to explore: *Three’s Company.* Have a great weekend, Marina!
Marina, THANKS! so much for the tour. I was a wee lad when the show aired. Emotionally it meant/STILL means a lot to me. The Kiss, the CHAIR, the move to California. Edith's/Archie's tender + funny moments. Few ppl in the world I've ever wanted to meet, but the entire cast of All in the Family + the Jefferson's would be it. I even imitated both George (walk) Archie's pronunciation of turlet. Mike breaking Archie's chair is priceless!
Also - I noticed Edith would often copy the way Archie said turlet, when she'd retell something he had said- almost like she was making fun of him. But she kept a serious face. And yet her character would never make fun of him. So I'm curious the motivation behind her character doing that.

I literally grew up with this show and it really shaped my perspective on things, about people, about racism and ignorance. I watched this with my family all the time.

This was such a WONDERFUL presentation of a floor plan from my favorite sit-com! Marina, you probably noticed that the living room and dining room had "painted" faux area rugs. I knew of two homes where this was done to worn floorboards, and it actually brought the floorboards to life, giving the room a finer sense of scale and porportion. Thanks, again, for showing us your skill and expertise in allowing us to see the 'fourth wall' of a set production.
Marina, you are an actress in your own wright because the way you delievered the story made this 68 year old guy's eyes fill with tears. Thanks for a great video of a wonderful time in my life.

Thank you for the memories!! I had the wonderful misty eyes you get when nostalgia makes you feel a pang of yesterday. Homesickness mixed with loving memories and a time and place so long ago you wonder if it was real. But then you smile and then laugh and then cry because it is such a wonderful piece of your heart and life. Bless your heart for bringing All in the Family again!!
Great job ! Great memories, 🎶"those were the days".🎶That was as cozy as my grandparent's home, down to the swinging kitchen door. You were correct on your assessment, All in the Family was all about the Yin and the Yang.☯ Viva la difference.😉
I just discovered your channel and love taking tours of homes that were so much of my childhood. I would love to see you do Dallas's Southfork (where'd they put all those people) or The Big Valley home. Thanks so much for your hard work.
Thanks , Marina this is wonderful. The best childhood memories for me. My dad had a Wicker Reclining chair in the livingroom also facing the tv. The 70's were cool. Nostalgia at it's best.

@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Yes, I'm familiar with your very impressive work. I once commented on your Kramden apartment. I said that one third of my brain is taken up by Honeymooners data.
This was excellent! Truly it showed how relatable the Bunkers and their home was to everyone who watched the show. Loved how you figured out that 2nd set of leaded glass built-ins leading into the dining room area. My grandparents had some shelving like that on either side of their fireplace and I loved them as a young child.
Very fine work. You put a ton of meticulous effort into this, and as someone who watched All In The Family every week starting when I was 12, I appreciate this!

You're back! And with one of my favorite homes and series. I agree 100 % with your matching cabinet on the other side of the living room to delineate the the spaces. Very typical in Craftsman /Arts and Crafts homes of the time. That nook always seemed like wasted space ... One Day at a Time did this as well with the back room that could have been used for so many things but always sat empty and rarely did we see characters in in. Such a great trip down memory lane. I have always been curious about the upstairs in the Bunkers as well. Thank you for doing this one!
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane I moved last year and all the preparation and anticipation is very stressful to say the least. Hope it all goes smoothly. 😀
Your channel is just amazing! Not sure if the Petrie house or this one is my favorite. I was 11 when All in the Family debuted and our family watched it together. It certainly provided a lot of teachable moments!
Thank you. The Petrie home is the very first TV home I ever did. The one you see on this channel now is a remake - I cringed at my initial effort. Anyway, it's a favorite of mine.

Thank you for a wonderful tour. I remember watching All in the Family in the 1970's when I was a kid. Another show I loved to watch was The Ghost and Mrs Muir. A tour of Gull Cottage would be wonderful.
Marina, our home had the same staircase, with a bigger landing. My parents too had sent me to my room that premier night, but I sat quietly on the landing listening to what all the hype was about. Thank you for creating this video.
They must have done well on the hype for the show. I wonder how many homes across the country were doing the same thing. How many kids snuck out and strained to hear.

As a first time viewer of any of your videos Marina, my utmost of compliments! Not only do you have a soothing voice, but your narration is very comprehensive. Footnote: the sock and a sock and a shoe and a shoe scene HAS to be my favorite of the entire run of the series!!!
Thank you! I remember that episode from all the way back when it first aired. I've thought of it often when I put my socks and shoes on. I bet they had no idea of the lasting impact that simple scene would have. 😅
The sock/shoe debate between Archie and Mike is legendary. I think of it often when I put on my own shoes before going to work. “Hopping to safety” with a dry foot made sense to me
Marina, excellent job as always! "All in the Family" is one of my favorite shows of all time. I think it has some of the best writing and acting ever on network television and it was certainly groundbreaking. It got away with pressing boundaries because you cared about the characters and it was genuinely funny. A quick note -- there were two other pilots for the show before the third one that actually got approved by CBS. In the first pilot for ABC in 1968, the set is noticeably different and seems to match the exterior more. There is an enclosed porch and a small foyer area, and the kitchen is completely different and much smaller. Also, Norman Lear originally contemplated filming the series in black and white to give it an "old-timey" feel, but the networks balked. Instead, he went for the sepia-toned set and wouldn't allow any bright colors in the interior decoration.
One of my favorite memories of this show is one I'm not even sure exists: a closeup of Archie smiling smugly, only for Edith's voice to call out, "Oooooh Ahhhhhhhhhchiiiiiiiieeeeeeeee!" causing Archie's smile to crumble into a look that says, "Oh nooo..."
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Oh I've seen them all! I'm subscribed. :D Your channel even inspired me for how I'd design the houses in a pet project of mine! So thank you for that! :D
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane My pet project is a remake of 1960s soap "Peyton Place." Thanks to your channel, I came up with how I'd design the interior of the MacKenzie house. It's been fun looking up old interior designs.
I grew up in the 70s also and my grandparents lived for many years in Queens. Their home looked similar and one of my mother sisters bought the home. My mom did the same thing she said this was too grown for us kids. Thanks!
RIP Norman Lear, I had just found your channel a couple weeks ago Marina when I decided to look up the Brady Bunch home on here. Your assessment of the show and its' set is so spot on. As a soon-to-be 37 year old who neither considers myself fully on one side or the other, it's how I feel towards my extended family too. Possibly THE ultimate watercooler show, it truly changed the sitcom landscape forever. Oh, and O'Connor was equally great in the 'In the Heat of the Night' series too, that one being one of my mother's favorites.
Thank you so much, Marina!! 🥰 This house is fondly remembered by so many of us from watching the show with our families back then. I especially enjoyed seeing the 4th walls. It was so clever of you to realize there would have been a matching support column / side board between the LR / DR! I remember it bothered me there wasn't a porch on the house filmed in the opening credits. You caught that too.

Thank you for the Memories, I returned from Vietnam in '71, and discovered this new show, wow, a total mix of feelings, I still watch it on Freevee channel, we need more Archies today to help this mess we're in, God Bless our country !!
This truly was a brilliant video. This video experience was amazing to watch and listen to. Your description of the set was again spot on perfect. You explained things that I wasn't aware of. It really was a cool idea and you executed it perfectly. These shows bring back so many wonderful childhood memories. I was born in 1967, and the shows produced back then were incredible. M*A*S*H was my all-time favorite, the Odd Couple was second, All in the Family was in my top ten as well. Soap was another hilarious show. Oh and I had forgotten that Maude was related to Edith. All in the Family had opened the doors for the Jeffersons and Maude. It showed just how iconic All in the Family was for television. I can't wait to see ANY other virtual walk throughs you have made. I'd love to see the Odd Couple, Soap, and again M*A*S*H plus any others you made. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with us. You really did a phenomenal job with this creation. Well done ma'am, 10 out of 10! Plus you brought back a lot of beautiful memories, which truly helps me more than I can say. My health has slowly declined. I was recently diagnosed with emphysema, COPD, and heart disease. So these bits of happiness, reminders of my childhood growing up are so important to me. They help my morale and they keep me smiling. So again I want to Thank You very much for your efforts. I am looking forward to seeing more of your work. Take care, be safe, and God Bless you and your family. 🙏
I like that you noticed all the details in the decor.. I was so fixated on the characters and scenes I never noticed the intricate details.. thank you for the walks down memory lane 😊
That's one of my favorite parts - getting to pause the show and really study what's there in the background. It goes by so fast when I'm just watching a show.
Wow, brings back great memories of watching “All In The Family” as a kid. My mother did not like the show, so we could only watch it when my Dad had it on. The house reminds me of my Grandparents brownstone home on Utopia Pkwy in Queens NY, but they had the left side. The difference was there was a step up from the living room to the dining room and there was a large fireplace in the living room corner, which matched the fireplace in the basement. The stairs had two landings. There was only one bathroom at the end of the upstairs hallway. I was only 6 years old when they moved in 1964 but I still remember the house and the big Christmas tree they would have each year. I remember my Grandmother would say the she had a fast or slow oven, that was fueled by coal. It was my job to go downstairs and fill the coal bucket with coal from the bunker. Thanks for the memories.
I was crying as I watched it too, as I was modeling the home. I probably watched it 3 or 4 times and cried each time, even though I knew what was coming.
You are fabulous. I feel incredibly lucky to have stumbled upon your channel. I grew up watching this show and teared up a few times watching this. And I love architecture, so this is perfect. PS I was thrilled to see Archie and Edith's chair at the Smithsonian a few years ago.
Just discovered your channel yesterday (03.12.23). I've always been intrigued by film sets vs the exterior establishing shots and the all too often discrepancy between the two.
I didn't even think about the pre-show warning until you said something. I wish they would still play it. How I wish sometimes we could go back to these days.

The episode where Edith explained why Archie is jealous of Michael. That was classic and real. Viewers of the show will understand. Thank you for bringing their home to life as never seen before.

This video could not have been any better. It is absolutely perfect, and my husband and I enjoyed the commentary and the memories it brought back. Thank-you so much for your wonderful insight and creativity in touring their home. Such talent that you shared with us, thank-you!!

When this came up in my recommended videos I almost didn't watch it since I have seen All in the Family so many times over the years that I felt I knew the Bunker house as well as the house in which I grew up, but I'm glad I decided to watch, there were so many things you pointed out and described that I had never noticed. I have watched several of your other house tours and enjoy seeing the detailed layouts that you do as well as the nostalgic feeling seeing the TV homes from shows I watched growing up. There are a couple things though that I'm hoping you can clear up for me about the Bunker home. The upstairs of the Bunker house never made sense to me, as is the case with most TV homes, the locations of upstairs rooms either don't make sense with the downstairs rooms or they tend to change locations. There was one episode that showed Mike & Gloria's room directly across the hall from Archie & Edith's room and the bathroom was at the end of the hall. Seeing your floor plan of the upstairs made me wonder which wall is the connecting wall to the house next door. Since the downstairs rooms had a connecting wall with the house next door, there had to be a connecting wall upstairs as well. It looks as if the connecting wall would be the fourth wall of Gloria's bedroom, the one never shown, and the bathroom wall next to the bathtub, in which case there could not be a window in that wall. I am also confused about the stairs in relation to the upstairs hall. Taking the second turn going up the stairs has you facing in the direction of the attached house next door. I assume that the upstairs hall would be perpendicular to that section of the stairs and since that second turn in the stairs is near the middle area of the house, I would think that the hall should run along both sides of the stairs from the front of the house to the back. It seems as if we only see half of the upstairs hall in the show, which would be the part going to the right as you enter the hall from the stairs, even though the upstairs rooms shown are supposedly all that are up there. Archie & Edith's bedroom appears to be in the front of the house, but that doesn't make sense, you would have to go to the left after coming into the upstairs hall. Maybe I'm not figuring this correctly or possibly it just doesn't make any sense to begin with! I would love to hear your views on this.
I came to the same conclusions as you. When you get upstairs you would be facing the wall that is shared with the neighbors. You're right, the rooms shuffled around a lot and didn't make sense with either the exterior we are shown or the way it lays over the main floor. I tried so hard to make it work. I even resorted to cutting out the rooms as they are shown to us on paper. I sat at the table trying every possible scenario. My end conclusion - it can't be done. That's when I decided to go with the episode where we get to see the placement of both bedrooms and the bathroom.

Marina, thank you for bringing the Bunker home back to life! I was born in 1965, and so I grew up watching “All In The Family” as a kid in the 70’s. So many fond memories. You are such an excellent host. Your attention to detail is unsurpassed! Thank you for everything you do, and for sharing it with the general public on CZcams. Much appreciated! ❤
Thank you! You made my day. 😊
Me too born in 65. Remember this show. WS happy to see this👍🏼 thank you.
So great to see this 3 d video. What about the picture of a sailboat by the front entrance and the copper coloured jello mold kn the kitchen ?
@@barbaraflowers759 I couldn't find the painting. I put them in when I can. And I saw the copper jello mold, but had no idea how to make one. 😁
Good catches. Sounds like you know the show well.
I was born in 1965. Good show
I was born in 1960 and I grow up watching all in the family. Ever time it was on my mom and I all in the family. And when I see the reruns today. It brings back memories to me.
It was a great show.

This is my favorite episode yet. I loved that show, and I always thought their house was homey and cozy.
Me too. And now with a fourth wall, even more so.
Rite down the the beer stained chair and the cigar burn marks on the sofa!
Marina! I was born November 1960. I grew up watching All In The Family in the 1970's. Thank you for the tour. I really enjoyed it very much❤.
Born in 1992, used to watch reruns of All in the Family with my ma. What a groundbreaking show!

I loved this show & all of these characters. I actually cried when Carol O’Connor passed away. Thank you! ❤
I wish he was still with us. I just watched a video of him and Jean Stapleton together on a talk show. That was fun to see - the banter and genuine love between them. Carroll didn't know Jean was coming on.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane I'll have to look that up. How sweet ♥ do you remember the show Growing Pains? Another favorite of mine, I always loved their house 🏡
@@nolagirl2458 I sure do. I plan on doing a tour of that home. I interviewed the art director of that show, Bill Brzeski for something else, but asked him questions about the set of Growing Pains. I'll include his comments when I do the home.
Great work. I'll keep voting for the Golden Girls house and Frasier's condo!
Yes!
Yes, Golden Girls.
Thank you. 😊
Yes, The Golden Girls and Frasier! Can’t quite figure either floor plan out, and love both. Thanks!
I agree I think the Golden Girls would be a big hit here on this channel..but I know in the past she has said she wouldnt do it
Marina, thank you so much I was born in 1962 and grew up watching this show it brings back sweet memories of my childhood home
Glad it brought back good memories for you. It did for me too as I worked on it.
In case you don't already know, I have made many other homes too. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: czcams.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
I've always loved old homes with built-ins like the ones here. Thank you so much for doing these TV home recreations. You do very good work. .
You are so welcome! It's a labor of love.
I enjoyed seeing the duplicate pillars separating the living room and dining room. Makes perfect sense. For future episodes, I would be interested in seeing your comments on the set from, "Father Knows Best," especially the upstairs bedrooms, which never seemed very clear to me.
It's on my list. I've had a lot of requests for it.
Absolutely a favorite! I don't know what it was about this house that made me want to live there. As a little girl, into my teens, I drew house interiors. Each one I drew was based on a home I had lived in or visited or saw on tv. This house always spoke to me and I drew countless renditions of it.
You did great!
You are a kindred spirit. 😊
My wife has been watching you channel for a while now and today she showed me this video which we watched together. I just want to say that all the people that aren't subscribed and not watching are really missing out. I am blown away by not only the time you take and the detail you put into the 3D models, but the research you do on the shows is unbelievable. To know things like this railing is shown in this episode but not in this one, etc. That is awesome!!! More people need to find out about your channel. Your work is amazing!!!
Thanks! 😁
Marina, This is an absolute masterpiece. I've been an All in the Family Fanatic since my childhood, 55 now. I have wondered many times, what it would be like to look at all the nooks and crannies in the Bunker House. Now I have done that. Just outstanding work on your part. Thanks a million !!!!!!!!!!
So glad you liked it.

This is just amazing, a work of art! I would love to see "The Odd Couple" first AND second apartments. Thanks so much for making me smile today.
I plan on it.

Great choice. I would love to see that too.
Did Felix and Oscar move to a different apartment during the Odd Couple series? It’s definitely a different apartment early on. Though I don’t recall no episode where they moved.
I think they magically transported from one apartment to the other. I also think the Pigeon sisters were stalking them.
Oh this was a wonderful treat, I loved touring the Bunker home and you even included the basement 😍
I am looking forward to you doing the Shady Rest, Petticoat Junction.
The King of Queens home would be great to see too.
Thank you for bringing these places to life. 😃
Those are both on my list. 😊
I love the king of queen house. I would love to see that myself
Watching this video, and equating classic lines to certain scenes is great. Also, for the upstairs--In the episode "The battle of the month" which I think was the last episode in season 3, the two bedrooms upstairs backed up to each other. Archie puts a glass to the wall above their bed to listen to gloria and the meathead arguing on the other side
Yes. Those bedrooms shuffled around a lot up there. 😅
I have made many other homes too. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: czcams.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
There was also a makeshift bedroom in the attic that was mentioned. The episode where Archie’s freeloading cousin Oscar was visiting and died. Naturally, Archie hated him because Oscar picked on him as a kid. He said. Relatives all up and down the eastern seaboard and he picks my attic to die in.
@@crabbymilton390 Thanks for adding that.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane The only thing is that Oscar and the attic were never seen. So you just have to use your imagination about the attic. A later episode after they adopted Stephanie and she didn’t want to go with them to California to visit Mike and Gloria. Archie scared her in that the attic door must stay locked at all times. The he said he had a cousin who died up there. But told her well goodbye and don’t be scared. She of course ran after them. Funny stuff.
I can't get enough of these. Thank you for making these incredible tours!
Glad you like them!
Those were the days
When I was eight years old my mom lived in a place that was pretty similar to the Bunkers. There are a lot of homes in that part of RI that date back to the era their home most likely dated back to (20's/30's to mid to late 40s). I was born in '74 and watched a ton of this show growing up. This is a really great overview.
I love this style of home. 😍
Thank you for all of your time and research in putting this together. I love the Craftsman details in this home.
Me too!
I can't believe you actually got this home in detail. I lived in a very similar house back in the 70's, with one exception our house had three bedrooms, and you were correct assuming there was a matching bookcase on the other side because we had it just like that. And you got the downstairs to perfection. Congratulations, this brought fond memories of a bygone era. I did have a few tears when you described, Archie's and Mike's bonne voyage on the porch. I'm very old and more sentimental these days.
That's great to hear! I'm glad to know I got it right and from someone who lived in a similar home. Once I got that matching one in place it felt like a home.

I have seen quite a few of the other TV homes and they are spectacular, one of my favorites is the ' Bewitched ' house and
the ' I love Lucy ' apartment but, they are all spectacular.
Bravo, Marina! You did a great job of recreating this house we saw every Saturday night in the 70's. Big Applause! 👏👏👏
Thank you so much! I have made many other homes too. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: czcams.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
You did a great job. What I love about these old homes it that it has so much character. I love the built in and all the wood trim.
Me too!
Finally, I can sleep at night knowing what was in that odd little room off the dining room / near the basement door! I'm also surprised to see just how real-world the Bunker house is; eg, it doesn't have a diagonal wall for the front door, as do so many shows of the period -- something I never consciously picked up on until you pointed it out, Marina. Anyway... Thanks for yet another terrific re-creation! This is among my very faves.
Thank you. I really appreciated that this set was all 90° angles. It made it so much easier.
So captivating! I love the small details! One in particular... the fact that none of the electrical outlets have a ground. They're all the basic two-prong outlet --- exactly as it would have been!
Thank you. Glad you liked it. I'm glad I got that detail right. 😊 I love the details too. That's what makes it feel like a real home.
Thought I was getting just a fun tour of the Bunker house and ended up quick blinking trying to stop a couple tears 😆. You did an excellent job recreating this TV home and just as good of a job reminding us how much we loved this family, even though they only existed on the TV screen. There are no shows on TV these days that can make you love the characters like the ones back in these days. Probably the most touching scene ever was after Edith passed away and Archie goes to their room for the first time after her belongings were removed. He found one slipper of hers, left behind. That was a powerful scene to me. It's hard to watch and not get choked up.
That was a very moving scene. I can't imagine someone watching it and not crying. Carroll was an amazing performer. It felt so real.
I have made many other homes too. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: czcams.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
I had to watch that scene on CZcams after I left my comment. One of the comments on that video said that Carroll wrote that scene and said it was a hard scene to do because he felt like he actually suffered the loss of his wife. I believe the emotions you saw were real and that's why he executed it so perfectly
@@1bobvideo ❣
Another wonderful video! I always loved that house. And I recall that the toilet flush was the first time that sound was heard on TV--very shocking at the time. That cookie jar at 8:58--yeah, my mom had one of those. It's mine now--actually I have two of them but I have no idea where the second came from! 😆
That's right. I should have included that info. Thanks for adding it here.
That was remarkable Marina. I love your commentary. You have such a pure heart. Thank you. 💜
Thank you so much!
I couldn’t agree more! 💗
Another triumph! Marina, I can't imagine how many hours it takes you to do these--there is no detail too small to earn your care and attention. Thanks so much. In this episode, I love how you framed out the dining room with the additional built-in. That single built-in at the foot of the stairs always bugged me, and I never knew why--until I saw your set with its companion! As for future projects--I'll keep plugging for my request: I'd love to see Jessica's house from Murder, She Wrote. There's so much nuance and charm to that house, I think it would be a fascinating project and fun to see the finished product. Thanks again for all that you do!
Thank you! 😊
Wow! Not sure how CZcams algorithms work but I am sure glad it suggested your video. I am blown away at the recreation of the All in The Family house. Being a child in the 70’s I remember fondly my grandparents and my folks watching this show. I too would watch and enjoy. Often a lot of the humor went way over my head.
Archie reminds me, a lot like my own grandfather. I often could relate to the episode.
Watching your recreation is almost like having a recreation of my own grandparent’s house 40 plus years later. It would be amazing to actually be able to have a exact recreation of my actually grandparents home but this is as close as it gets. Amazing work. Thanks for the Memories.
I love when these bring back good memories. I happen to be working on a tour of the home I grew up in right now. I'm going to send it to my parents and siblings. My dad built the house himself. I can't wait to "walk" through it again, just as it was. They moved after we were all grown.
Wow! Such an amazing gift to give your folks. A walk back in time. I bet it will be a very moving event. I hope to hear all about their reactions.
@@rxeman I can't wait to finish it. I'm going to have us kids telling our memories as I walk us through the home.
Always love your tours, it brings back so many memories of times past. Great job!
Thank you. That's my favorite thing - when it brings back good memories for people.

Been eagerly waiting for this one.
I always loved the faux weathering on everything, just made it feel more like a real lower middle class home that so many could relate to.
Great job!
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for this, I grew up in the seventies and my Dad always watched re-runs of All in the Family and I learned alot from the show. Through later years we always said Dad was like Archie Bunker. My Dad passed away six months ago at the age of eighty one. Tears flowed down my face watching this with many wonderful memories of the laughter as I watched from the comfort of my childhood home looking into the home of the Bunkers!
I'm so sorry you lost your dad. I'm glad this brought back good memories.
Hi Marina! This is great! I always wanted to live in Darrin and Samantha's "Bewitched"House. And it always puzzled me how Archie and Edith started the show at the piano, but once the episode got going, it was like "where did the piano go?" LOL! Thanks for a great video and best wishes!
Ha! Yes. Exactly.
Hopefully you saw the tours I made of the Bewitched home.
If not - You can see that and all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: czcams.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
Hi Marina. I can't imagine the time and all the loving care you put into one of these constructions. Your videos are totally unique and wonderful. I happened upon your website several months ago and watched you tour the Hartleys home (Bob Newhart) and left with a smile on my face. I subscribed, but apparently forgot to ring the bell and don't remember getting any notifications until today. This one really did "ring a bell" with me. The one good thing about not keeping up over those months is that I have a good number to view any time I want. Your work is really excellent! I know you probably have so many suggestions that you'll never be able to satisfy everyone, but I'll add one more - the Barone house from Everybody Loves Raymond. There's certainly enough revealed over time in that series that you can work with. Best wishes!
I hope to do that one very soon! And, I'm glad you found the channel again.
Awesome work - what dedication to detail! I love your channel. This is one of your best episodes. Seeing Betty Garrett in this episode makes me think of Laverne and Shirley's iconic apartment (Milwaukee, not Hollywood). You'll have to do that one soon.
I was thinking of her on that show too as I did this. And I will definitely be doing that apartment someday.
Another fantastic video Marina. I think this may be my favorite one! You really went above and beyond in the narration and providing the information you did. Another amazing job, worthy of an Oscar!🏆
Thank you so much!
Thanks! 😊
you sure did a great job with this presentation of the Bunker home...those homes from decades ago, definitely had character, much the way, our home was during my growing up years in NY....the wallpaper, the wood arches, the old fashioned kitchen..all of that...thank you for doing this Bunker home...memories galore..
Glad you enjoyed it
I loved seeing The Bunkers home. I realize now it was a lovely home.❤
I came away loving it more than I had expected. It surprised me.
This is truly outstanding work - from creating the set, the visual tour and the wonderful commentary. You captured this bit of incredible history so well. As a kid of the 70's this was often watched every Saturday night in our family. Groundbreaking television indeed and your work captures that spirit.

Your videos are great! If you havent done this yet, I’d love to see the mansion from The Beverly Hillbillies. I know it had 37 bedrooms, so that may be too hard to do but a downstairs version would be cool. Either way, excellent channel! Great work.
I will definitely be doing that home!
Thanks for all the effort and thought that went into this presentation. Clearly this show meant a lot to you, as it did for so many of us. You captured just what made those episodes and that fictional house at 704 Houser so real.
Thank you. I love what I do. Just glad others like it too. 😊
Hauser Street - there was a short-lived (and deservedly so) spin-off in 1994 called "704 Hauser" which definitely cleared up the Houser/Hauser spelling question.
@@Youngstown529 I would love to get to that home too and compare the 2.

Glad you like them! I plan on getting to that home someday.
I loved it and I really appreciate it. I was 16 through 17 years old when I watched the show with my parents. I am so happy that you showed that little nook that always had the TV treys sitting in it. My eyes were always drawn back to that area as a kid. My dad was a lot like Archie. Being old myself and both my parents no longer around it brings back warm memories of a much much better time in my life. Thank you so much for the tour.
I'm glad it brought back good memories. 😊
I always thought the Bunker's home was 'real' and 'lived in'. There was an episode when they burn their mortgage certificate , I really felt that like when my parents' home was all paid off.
It definitely felt like a real place.
OMG !! Thank you sooo much !!! I had suggested it a long while back and I didn’t know if you were going to do it. I’m so happy you made this. ❤❤❤

This is fantastic! I’ve always enjoyed All in the Family. I never really thought much about the use of colour to tell a story, so this video offered a lot of important context. I was curious if you could make a video about Edna Garrett’s house/Edna’s Edibles from The Facts of Life. That’s another show I’ve always liked, but I’ve never been able to figure out the layout of that fictional house!
Glad you enjoyed the tour. I do hope to get to Facts of life someday. Maybe I could include one of those places too, or "Over our Heads."

It's amazing, and a little depressing, to realize that an ordinary blue-collar house such as this one isn't all that affordable even for a middle-class family today.
Boy. So true. Times have changed in that way.
Yes, the American middle-class standard of living has plummeted since the 1970's.
Maude
The Bunker home in Queens has always reminded me of my parents' 3-storey duplex in Ossining, NY. The same slightly shabby style sense, the same coziness! I used to watch the show. Laughed at Archie's childishness (especially when he and Mr. Jefferson had spats) and just loved Edith.
Nice that you got to grow up in a similar home. 😍
I really enjoy your videos so so much. Thank you for these, they are amazing and pull together memories and bring for thought and appreciation for all those hours watching television growing up and rewatching them today. 🙏😊📺
Thank you so much! I love when it brings back good memories for people.
Hi Marina! Scott here. First off, every aspect of this tour blew me away. Secondly, I think the aspect that really blew me over was the “nostalgic sepia” look the set designer was going for - to create an aesthetic that was like going through an old family photo album. In the 1970’s, this would have *resonated* with viewers, as the generation of sepia photos were still alive at that time.
I’m also very drawn to the built-in room dividers which, in concert with the kitchen pass through, beautifully created flow from one room to the next while still separating each space. I love that kind of visual.
*I was waiting with baited breath for that toilet flush!!!*
I also love how you incorporated the personalities of the characters, as well as the vision for this show. All of that information and commentary is so necessary in order to understand the space we’re exploring. The family who interacted with that space was no more one-dimensional than the home itself. BOTH were multi-dimensional, which is what I think made this show so compelling.
Lastly, here is my vote for the next space I would love to explore: *Three’s Company.* Have a great weekend, Marina!
Love all these insights and comments. Glad you liked this tour.
Marina, THANKS! so much for the tour. I was a wee lad when the show aired. Emotionally it meant/STILL means a lot to me. The Kiss, the CHAIR, the move to California. Edith's/Archie's tender + funny moments. Few ppl in the world I've ever wanted to meet, but the entire cast of All in the Family + the Jefferson's would be it. I even imitated both George (walk) Archie's pronunciation of turlet. Mike breaking Archie's chair is priceless!
😊 George's walk is so cool.
Also - I noticed Edith would often copy the way Archie said turlet, when she'd retell something he had said- almost like she was making fun of him. But she kept a serious face. And yet her character would never make fun of him. So I'm curious the motivation behind her character doing that.
Wow, I am quite impressed by this recreation! Your commentary was beautiful as well. I really felt quite emotional listening to your insights.
Thank you! I love hearing that.

Thank you. A beautifully presented tour of an ironic TV home. Brings back many memories of my family watching the show together!
I love when it brings back good memories. 😍

This was such a WONDERFUL presentation of a floor plan from my favorite sit-com! Marina, you probably noticed that the living room and dining room had "painted" faux area rugs. I knew of two homes where this was done to worn floorboards, and it actually brought the floorboards to life, giving the room a finer sense of scale and porportion. Thanks, again, for showing us your skill and expertise in allowing us to see the 'fourth wall' of a set production.
I read that they were painted on, but hadn't noticed on my own. Thanks for adding that.
Marina, you are an actress in your own wright because the way you delievered the story made this 68 year old guy's eyes fill with tears. Thanks for a great video of a wonderful time in my life.
I'm glad it brought back good memories. I love when these tours do that.

Thank you for the memories!! I had the wonderful misty eyes you get when nostalgia makes you feel a pang of yesterday. Homesickness mixed with loving memories and a time and place so long ago you wonder if it was real. But then you smile and then laugh and then cry because it is such a wonderful piece of your heart and life. Bless your heart for bringing All in the Family again!!
You put that very well. Thank you.
Great job ! Great memories, 🎶"those were the days".🎶That was as cozy as my grandparent's home, down to the swinging kitchen door. You were correct on your assessment, All in the Family was all about the Yin and the Yang.☯ Viva la difference.😉
Thank you. Glad you liked it.
I just discovered your channel and love taking tours of homes that were so much of my childhood. I would love to see you do Dallas's Southfork (where'd they put all those people) or The Big Valley home. Thanks so much for your hard work.
Thanks for the suggestions 😀
Thanks , Marina this is wonderful. The best childhood memories for me. My dad had a Wicker Reclining chair in the livingroom also facing the tv. The 70's were cool. Nostalgia at it's best.
It is a great shared nostalgia we all have. 🥰
Excellent job! As an All in the Family fan, your work and research for this project is very much appreciated. Thank you.
Glad you liked it.

@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Yes, I'm familiar with your very impressive work. I once commented on your Kramden apartment. I said that one third of my brain is taken up by Honeymooners data.
@@frankgallego3782 😊 I should have had you as a consultant.
This was excellent! Truly it showed how relatable the Bunkers and their home was to everyone who watched the show. Loved how you figured out that 2nd set of leaded glass built-ins leading into the dining room area. My grandparents had some shelving like that on either side of their fireplace and I loved them as a young child.
You make a great point - the home itself was relatable to many viewers. 😍
Very fine work. You put a ton of meticulous effort into this, and as someone who watched All In The Family every week starting when I was 12, I appreciate this!
Thank you.

You're back! And with one of my favorite homes and series. I agree 100 % with your matching cabinet on the other side of the living room to delineate the the spaces. Very typical in Craftsman /Arts and Crafts homes of the time. That nook always seemed like wasted space ... One Day at a Time did this as well with the back room that could have been used for so many things but always sat empty and rarely did we see characters in in. Such a great trip down memory lane. I have always been curious about the upstairs in the Bunkers as well. Thank you for doing this one!
Glad you liked it. 😊 I took 3 months off to get our house ready to sell. I was eager to get back at it.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane I moved last year and all the preparation and anticipation is very stressful to say the least. Hope it all goes smoothly. 😀
Your channel is just amazing! Not sure if the Petrie house or this one is my favorite. I was 11 when All in the Family debuted and our family watched it together. It certainly provided a lot of teachable moments!
Thank you. The Petrie home is the very first TV home I ever did. The one you see on this channel now is a remake - I cringed at my initial effort. Anyway, it's a favorite of mine.
I really appreciated this video, and how you showed the very different set house vs the real house that represented it in reality.
Glad you liked it.

Thank you so much for sharing your passion of architecture with all of the iconic tv homes😍😍
I'm glad others love these TV homes too.
Thank you for a wonderful tour. I remember watching All in the Family in the 1970's when I was a kid. Another show I loved to watch was The Ghost and Mrs Muir. A tour of Gull Cottage would be wonderful.
Marina, our home had the same staircase, with a bigger landing. My parents too had sent me to my room that premier night, but I sat quietly on the landing listening to what all the hype was about. Thank you for creating this video.
They must have done well on the hype for the show. I wonder how many homes across the country were doing the same thing. How many kids snuck out and strained to hear.

As a first time viewer of any of your videos Marina, my utmost of compliments! Not only do you have a soothing voice, but your narration is very comprehensive.
Footnote: the sock and a sock and a shoe and a shoe scene HAS to be my favorite of the entire run of the series!!!
Thank you! I remember that episode from all the way back when it first aired. I've thought of it often when I put my socks and shoes on. I bet they had no idea of the lasting impact that simple scene would have. 😅
The sock/shoe debate between Archie and Mike is legendary. I think of it often when I put on my own shoes before going to work. “Hopping to safety” with a dry foot made sense to me
I think of it often too. I wonder if they had any idea how that scene would carry on. 😊
Marina, excellent job as always!
"All in the Family" is one of my favorite shows of all time. I think it has some of the best writing and acting ever on network television and it was certainly groundbreaking. It got away with pressing boundaries because you cared about the characters and it was genuinely funny.
A quick note -- there were two other pilots for the show before the third one that actually got approved by CBS. In the first pilot for ABC in 1968, the set is noticeably different and seems to match the exterior more. There is an enclosed porch and a small foyer area, and the kitchen is completely different and much smaller. Also, Norman Lear originally contemplated filming the series in black and white to give it an "old-timey" feel, but the networks balked. Instead, he went for the sepia-toned set and wouldn't allow any bright colors in the interior decoration.
Thanks for adding that. I'd read about the 2 other pilots, but haven't seen them.
One of my favorite memories of this show is one I'm not even sure exists: a closeup of Archie smiling smugly, only for Edith's voice to call out, "Oooooh Ahhhhhhhhhchiiiiiiiieeeeeeeee!" causing Archie's smile to crumble into a look that says, "Oh nooo..."
That sounds very possible. 😊

@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Oh I've seen them all! I'm subscribed. :D Your channel even inspired me for how I'd design the houses in a pet project of mine! So thank you for that! :D
@@Kelaiah01 That's great! 😊
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane My pet project is a remake of 1960s soap "Peyton Place." Thanks to your channel, I came up with how I'd design the interior of the MacKenzie house. It's been fun looking up old interior designs.
I grew up in the 70s also and my grandparents lived for many years in Queens. Their home looked similar and one of my mother sisters bought the home. My mom did the same thing she said this was too grown for us kids. Thanks!
RIP Norman Lear, I had just found your channel a couple weeks ago Marina when I decided to look up the Brady Bunch home on here.
Your assessment of the show and its' set is so spot on. As a soon-to-be 37 year old who neither considers myself fully on one side or the other, it's how I feel towards my extended family too.
Possibly THE ultimate watercooler show, it truly changed the sitcom landscape forever. Oh, and O'Connor was equally great in the 'In the Heat of the Night' series too, that one being one of my mother's favorites.
Glad you found the channel. And I agree - definitely a water cooler show.
Thank you so much, Marina!! 🥰 This house is fondly remembered by so many of us from watching the show with our families back then. I especially enjoyed seeing the 4th walls. It was so clever of you to realize there would have been a matching support column / side board between the LR / DR! I remember it bothered me there wasn't a porch on the house filmed in the opening credits. You caught that too.
That exterior always bothered me too. I remember for awhile thinking maybe it was the back of the home. But that didn't line up either.
This brought back so many good memories, I wish I could go back to the 70's just for a day
I'm glad it brought back good memories for you.

Thank you for the Memories, I returned from Vietnam in '71, and discovered this new show, wow, a total mix of feelings, I still watch it on Freevee channel, we need more Archies today to help this mess we're in, God Bless our country !!
Not only a wonderful idea, but it was so beautifully presented in a concise and scholarly way. Thank you sooooo much!!!!❤
This truly was a brilliant video. This video experience was amazing to watch and listen to. Your description of the set was again spot on perfect. You explained things that I wasn't aware of. It really was a cool idea and you executed it perfectly. These shows bring back so many wonderful childhood memories. I was born in 1967, and the shows produced back then were incredible. M*A*S*H was my all-time favorite, the Odd Couple was second, All in the Family was in my top ten as well. Soap was another hilarious show. Oh and I had forgotten that Maude was related to Edith. All in the Family had opened the doors for the Jeffersons and Maude. It showed just how iconic All in the Family was for television. I can't wait to see ANY other virtual walk throughs you have made. I'd love to see the Odd Couple, Soap, and again M*A*S*H plus any others you made. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with us. You really did a phenomenal job with this creation. Well done ma'am, 10 out of 10! Plus you brought back a lot of beautiful memories, which truly helps me more than I can say. My health has slowly declined. I was recently diagnosed with emphysema, COPD, and heart disease. So these bits of happiness, reminders of my childhood growing up are so important to me. They help my morale and they keep me smiling. So again I want to Thank You very much for your efforts. I am looking forward to seeing more of your work. Take care, be safe, and God Bless you and your family. 🙏
So sorry about your health decline. I'm glad these are bringing back happy memories for you.
My mom and her friend liked watching M*A*S*H. There was another show they liked watching... Dynasty.
I like that you noticed all the details in the decor.. I was so fixated on the characters and scenes I never noticed the intricate details.. thank you for the walks down memory lane 😊
That's one of my favorite parts - getting to pause the show and really study what's there in the background. It goes by so fast when I'm just watching a show.
Wow, brings back great memories of watching “All In The Family” as a kid. My mother did not like the show, so we could only watch it when my Dad had it on. The house reminds me of my Grandparents brownstone home on Utopia Pkwy in Queens NY, but they had the left side. The difference was there was a step up from the living room to the dining room and there was a large fireplace in the living room corner, which matched the fireplace in the basement. The stairs had two landings. There was only one bathroom at the end of the upstairs hallway. I was only 6 years old when they moved in 1964 but I still remember the house and the big Christmas tree they would have each year. I remember my Grandmother would say the she had a fast or slow oven, that was fueled by coal. It was my job to go downstairs and fill the coal bucket with coal from the bunker. Thanks for the memories.
Sounds like great memories. The Bunker home would have looked great with a fireplace.
I watched the the last 2 episode and cried. Thank you for the memories. I watch all of your videos.
I was crying as I watched it too, as I was modeling the home. I probably watched it 3 or 4 times and cried each time, even though I knew what was coming.
You are fabulous. I feel incredibly lucky to have stumbled upon your channel. I grew up watching this show and teared up a few times watching this. And I love architecture, so this is perfect. PS I was thrilled to see Archie and Edith's chair at the Smithsonian a few years ago.
I'm glad you found the channel too. I want to see their chairs someday.
Just discovered your channel yesterday (03.12.23). I've always been intrigued by film sets vs the exterior establishing shots and the all too often discrepancy between the two.
Welcome aboard! Sounds like you'll fit right in here. 😊
I didn't even think about the pre-show warning until you said something. I wish they would still play it.
How I wish sometimes we could go back to these days.
I had forgotten about it too. I found it in the Norman Lear book.

The episode where Edith explained why Archie is jealous of Michael. That was classic and real. Viewers of the show will understand. Thank you for bringing their home to life as never seen before.
I don't remember that one. I'd love to watch it. Any idea which episode it is?

@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane ☺
When this came up in my recommended videos I almost didn't watch it since I have seen All in the Family so many times over the years that I felt I knew the Bunker house as well as the house in which I grew up, but I'm glad I decided to watch, there were so many things you pointed out and described that I had never noticed. I have watched several of your other house tours and enjoy seeing the detailed layouts that you do as well as the nostalgic feeling seeing the TV homes from shows I watched growing up. There are a couple things though that I'm hoping you can clear up for me about the Bunker home.
The upstairs of the Bunker house never made sense to me, as is the case with most TV homes, the locations of upstairs rooms either don't make sense with the downstairs rooms or they tend to change locations. There was one episode that showed Mike & Gloria's room directly across the hall from Archie & Edith's room and the bathroom was at the end of the hall. Seeing your floor plan of the upstairs made me wonder which wall is the connecting wall to the house next door. Since the downstairs rooms had a connecting wall with the house next door, there had to be a connecting wall upstairs as well. It looks as if the connecting wall would be the fourth wall of Gloria's bedroom, the one never shown, and the bathroom wall next to the bathtub, in which case there could not be a window in that wall.
I am also confused about the stairs in relation to the upstairs hall. Taking the second turn going up the stairs has you facing in the direction of the attached house next door. I assume that the upstairs hall would be perpendicular to that section of the stairs and since that second turn in the stairs is near the middle area of the house, I would think that the hall should run along both sides of the stairs from the front of the house to the back. It seems as if we only see half of the upstairs hall in the show, which would be the part going to the right as you enter the hall from the stairs, even though the upstairs rooms shown are supposedly all that are up there. Archie & Edith's bedroom appears to be in the front of the house, but that doesn't make sense, you would have to go to the left after coming into the upstairs hall. Maybe I'm not figuring this correctly or possibly it just doesn't make any sense to begin with! I would love to hear your views on this.
I came to the same conclusions as you.
When you get upstairs you would be facing the wall that is shared with the neighbors. You're right, the rooms shuffled around a lot and didn't make sense with either the exterior we are shown or the way it lays over the main floor. I tried so hard to make it work. I even resorted to cutting out the rooms as they are shown to us on paper. I sat at the table trying every possible scenario. My end conclusion - it can't be done. That's when I decided to go with the episode where we get to see the placement of both bedrooms and the bathroom.
