Archie Bunker’s Place was a reasonably successful continuation of All In The Family. Jean Stapleton, who played Archie’s wife (Edith), appeared in six episodes before deciding to leave the show. The show’s writers dealt with her departure by making Archie a widower. This is the conclusion of a special one-hour episode from December 1980 in which Archie had to deal with Edith’s death. Warning: It’s a tear-jerker.
