All in the Family: Family Viewing Hour
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 (This ruling was rescinded two years later, in 1977.)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.

That is a great find. I used to love watching that show, so politically incorrect. Awesome.

It was like a contemporary sitcom documentary. Everyone knew one of each of those characters.

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)

These are the days
