I had just heard, maybe here, that Carroll, wanted to resume, or maybe the studios wanted to resume the Archie character in the 90's where Archie was a full time cab driver now, and the situations would take place in his cab. Lear had no interest as he was concentrating on 704 Houser St.

That's true. O'Connor did come up with that idea, but no one wanted to produce it. It could've been interesting.

He was already doing In the Heat of the Night until 1995. When was he gonna do an All in the Family reboot?

Afterwards, probably.

Well, but the timeline doesn't add up then. Wasn't Lear working on 704 Houser St in like 1994? That was his reason for turning O'Connor down. O'Connor was still on ITHOTN for other year. By 1996 or so, O'Connor was only 4 years away from kicking the bucket.

I don't have access to my All in the Family behind-the-scenes book. It's in storage somewhere.

Well, either way, it never materialized, obviously, and 704 Houser Street flopped.

Never did see that, other than the pilot that came as one of the bonuses on the disc collection I have.

Well, there couldn't have been more than 10 episodes.

Agreed. It's also known as "Jumping The Shark", and there are several recently popular shows that are at that point right now.

I heard that Jean Stapleton didn't want to play Edith anymore.

She was quoted as saying that during season nine the writers made her too "ding batty".

9 years is a long time to play the same role.

True, but she didn't approve of the way the writers had treated the character.

You think if they treated the character better or whatever, she would have stayed?
