A Very Special "All in the Family" Episode: From our Patreon bonus Rob Reiner tribute!

Send us Fan MailWhat you’re hearing today is a ZSM Theatre scene: Stephanie writes a script and Zach goes in completely cold, having never read it – and somehow nails it anyway. This clip is a “lost” episode of All in the Family - an unaired, deeply inappropriate, oddly heartfelt episode that absolutely should not exist… but somehow does. This is from our latest Patreon bonus, a full-on variety spectacular honoring Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner — the partnership behind some of the most iconic, uniting, and deeply felt films of the last forty years (and yes, one movie Roger Ebert truly, profoundly hate-hate-hated).From this lost All in the Family episode, to a documentary-style meditation on love across Reiner’s filmography, to a Castle Rock morning show calmly smiling through the apocalypse, we pulled out every stop.Can love survive tiny Stonehenge failures, fire swamps, friendships, hobbling, and everything that comes after happily ever after?
