All In The Family #1 - Fawcett

I guess this magazine is little far afield of what we normally cover here, but it charmed me because
A)It's exactly the kind of cash-in one-shot that Warren would've done, and
B)It's published by Fawcett, legendary comics publisher, long since driven out of the comics biz by those nasty DC lawyers

This was published in 1972, just as the show was becoming a cultural phenomenon, so Fawcett's timing was perfect. Usually comics publishers are embarassingly behind the times when it comes to cashing in on a trend, but I guess the relative simplicity of putting this together helped get it out as soon as possible.

It opens with "The Bunkers are Born", a piece on the show's creator, Norman Lear. After that is a series of profiles of the show's stars, starting with Carroll O'Connor as Archie, of course, and the most unispiring pull-quote to ever headline an article:
...jeez, you'd think the star of a hit TV series would be a little more cheerful.

After some nice photos of O'Connor with his wife, his brother, and his dog, we have some stills from some of his movies like Cleopatra and Waterhole #3.

Next up is Jean Stapleton as Edith Bunker, also with photos of her private life and some of her film and stage credits.

Third is Rob Reiner as Mike Stivic, opening with Rob's Hollywood-centric upbringing, being the son of the legendary Carl Reiner(Am I the only one who thinks Carl Reiner looks eerily like Andy Kaufman here?):

It also talks about Reiner's career as writer on The Smothers Brothers Show, and his recent marriage to Penny Marshall.

Next is Sally Struthers as Gloria, and then Mike Evans as Lionel Jefferson, followed by "The Lucky Thirteen", a summary of the episodes aired so far.

The magazine ends with a behind the scenes piece on the new season, and what critics have been saying about the show. There's no ads in this magazine, making for a pretty attractive package. I wonder if mags like this were done for other shows? I'd love to have a M*A*S*H one like this.

But the fun's not over yet! Someone, many years ago, bothered to tear out some TV listings from a contemporary TV Guide or some similar publication and slip them inside the magazine. One of the shows listed(along with picture) is a Raquel Welch special called The Funny Papers:
...this is just all kinds of wrong. A mini-skirted pulchritudinous Annie played by Racquel Welch, sitting on Daddy Warbucks' lap? Jeepers!

I bet King Features Syndicate was just thrilled over this.
