Not Working?
Backstory: The Family Viewing Hour, which was in effect from 1975 thru 1977, was mandated by the FCC to have the networks show ONLY family-friendly programming from 8 to 9 PM ET, since there was too much sex and violence on the tube during those hours.. (This ruling was rescinded two years later, in 1977.) This ruling forced Norman Lear, creator of "All in the Family," to move the show from its 8 PM Sat. time slot to 9 PM on Monday nights. The cast of "All in the Family" did a little in-house "tribute" to the Family Viewing our, with their new "1975 version" of the show's opening theme song...and here it is! This clip never aired, it was only performed live before a studio audience.

Television's grown up now
No one needs a marriage vow
Folks go to the toilet now
These are the days
Single girls can take a pill
Robert can propose to Bill
We all can say prune juice and tush and potty out loud...
We can show my pregnancy
And John Boy can have VD
Plus a quick vasectomy
(after 9 oclock)
