Trivia
This is the only appearance of the Bunkers' cellar.

Goofs
The cellar door to the outside cannot be located where it is in the cellar. In this episode, it is located to the left and slightly forward of the cellar door at the top of the stairs, which means the cellar door to the outside would approximately be underneath the walkway to the Bunkers' kitchen, next to the dining room table.

For Any 'All In The Family' Fans

For anyone who is a fan of 'All In The Family', this episode has to rank among the top 5 most hilarious episodes, at least it does for me. If you know anything about the character of Archie Bunker, this episode is one of the best for a slap in the face of reality of his bigotry, albeit a drunken slap. Such a funny episode. This episode won't be as funny for those who have just watched scattered episodes of the show, but hysterical for those who watch from the beginning of the series.
