History Series / ArchieBunkersPlace

* DisappearedDad: Stephanie's father, Floyd Mills. He had appeared on and off since the final season of ''AITF'' to beg the Bunkers for money and/or to try to take his daughter back. His final appearance came in the 1981 episode "Growing Up is Hard to Do," where a now 13-year-old Stephanie is celebrating her bat mitzvah. Floyd shows up drunk and to beg for more money... which Stephanie finally obliges. Her act of selflessness (which impresses Archie) marks the last time Floyd is seen or heard from... his fate left unresolved (perhaps a nod to real life).

* PassedInTheirSleep: The [[Tearjerker/AllInTheFamily tearjerker episode]] "Archie Alone," which explained Edith's death due to a stroke suffered in her sleep. When Archie finally lets go of his emotions, he bemoans being unable to figure out why she was unresponsive as he shook her repeatedly, hoping to wake her up so she could fix breakfast.
* PoorlyDisguisedPilot: "Gloria: The First Day" was intended to be one of these for the ''Gloria'' spinoff. But CBS rejected it, and when the show was finally picked up, it was given a completely re-written pilot episode instead. (The original was subsequently included in the syndication package, however.)

* VerySpecialEpisode: Several relating to teenage pregnancy, drug and alcohol use, although much like its predecessor, none of them were specifically called "very special episodes." And then, there was the episode where viewers learned about Edith's death.

* TransatlanticEquivalent: ''All in the Family'' started off as an adaptation of the British sitcom ''Series/TillDeathUsDoPart'', but ''Archie Bunker's Place'' was a completely original continuation of ''Family''. However, ''Till Death'' creator Johnny Speight thought a sequel program like ''Place'' was such a good idea that he developed one for his own show, ''In Sickness and In Health'', which premiered in 1985 and ran intermittently until 1992. In fact, several episodes of ''Sickness'' were adapted from ''Place'', including their own version of "Archie Alone" that was written after actress Creator/DandyNichols, who played Else Garnett, [[TheCharacterDiedWithHim died in 1986]].
