- TriviaNotoriously, the first toilet flush in American prime time television was heard on this show.
- GoofsThe house in the opening credits (that is presumably supposed to be Archie and Edith Bunker's house) does not come anywhere near matching the studio sets that represent the house in the show. For example, window placement and size is completely wrong, and the sets depict the house as having a large front porch whereas, the house in the credits has only a small stoop. Not to mention the house shown in the credits is a duplex; as seen on season three's "Lionel Steps Out", the Bunkers' bedroom window faces the Jeffersons' house, placing all four sides of their interior housing windows (on Lionel Moves into the Neighborhood (1971), the Jefferson's house is shown to be to the left of the Bunker's house from the street's POV).
- Quotes
Mike Stivic: Why couldn't they say "Buddha, bless you" in Chinese?
Archie Bunker: Because they don't say that, that's why. If they say... Well, if they say anything at all, it's "Sayonara".
Mike Stivic: That's Japanese.
Archie Bunker: Same thing.
Mike Stivic: It's not the same thing!
Archie Bunker: What are you talking about? You put a Jap and a Chink together, you gonna tell me which is which?
Mike Stivic: That's right, because I find out about them. I talk to them as individuals.
Archie Bunker: Sure you talk to them. You say, "Which one of you guys is the Chink?"
Mike Stivic: [yells] I don't believe this. He's making me crazy!
- Alternate versionsIn later seasons of the show, the theme song was re-recorded with Edith Bunker (Jean Stapleton) more clearly enunciating the line "Gee, our old LaSalle ran great!"
