Archie Bunker gets to loudly voice his opinions in his own bar. Archie and his partner, Murray buy the neighborhood bar and rechristen it Archie's Place. The Bunkers adopt their niece, Stephanie, but during the show's second season, Edith dies, leaving Archie to raise Stephanie, and, soon, another niece, with the help of a black housekeeper. Most of the action is set at the restaurant, with a cast of new characters including Anne Meara as the cook and Jason Wingreen as the bartender.
