ALL IN THE FAMILY: EDITH HAS JURY DUTY (TV)

Summary

One in this comedy series about a working-class household presided over by the opinionated Archie Bunker. In this episode, Edith serves on the jury of a highly publicized murder case, causing Archie great distress. Enthusiastic about taking part in the legal system, Edith disregards Archie's vociferous objections to the fact that she is being sequestered for the duration of the trial. During the course of an extended jury deliberation, Edith becomes the only member of the jury blocking a unanimous vote to convict the defendant. Unconvinced of the man's guilt and zealously committed to the principle of justice, she refuses to buckle under the pressure of her fellow jurors. When the truth emerges at last, Edith returns home to her family and neighbors and receives a hero's welcome. Commercials deleted.

Cataloging of this program was made possible by the Verizon Foundation, 2002.
