All in the Family had many memorable episodes, but one scene stood out to Reiner as his all-time favorite—and it wasn’t even part of the script.
“Most people come up to me after over 200 shows, they'll say the scene I remember most is when you and Archie discussed how you put socks and shoes on,” Reiner shared. “And we had this scene that just happened in improv, it was improvised. I was putting my socks and shoes on, he walked in and he goes, ‘What are you doing?’ And this was all improvised. He said, ‘What are you doing?’ I said, ‘What do you mean, what am I doing?’ He says, ‘Yeah, you don't put your socks and shoes on like that.' I say, ‘What are you talking about?’ He says, ‘You don't put a sock and a shoe and a sock, you put a sock and a sock and a shoe and a shoe.’ And we just improvised the whole thing, and it became to something that was in the show.”
Reiner said the scene was sparked by the real way he put on his socks and shoes.
The actor added that there are “more people sock and shoe, sock and shoe than you think.”
The Sock-Shoe-Scene Wasn’t the Only Scene That Was Improvised on ‘All in the Family’
“I also remember, and this was really extraordinary, we have become such a tight unit after eight years,” Reiner said. “What we do is every Friday night we tape the show in front of a live audience. We do a show at 5:30 and then we do some notes, and when we get another audience in and we do another one at 8 o'clock.”
“The four of us got together and started improvising the opening act, the first act, and the writers are writing it down, and we're scribbling it, and we learned it," Reiner shared. "And we went in front of the 8 o'clock show, and we just did it and it worked. That is something I'll never ever forget because it only works after eight years and a tight-knit [cast].”
