These are first-generation COPIES of original scripts from the ICONIC 1972 episode of ALL IN THE FAMILY titled “Sammy’s Visit” and the 1980 follow-up episode from ARCHIE BUNKER’s PLACE titled “The Return of Sammy.” You will receive copies of BOTH scripts.


The original scripts were owned by actor Allan Melvin (Sam the Butcher on Brady Bunch and the voice of Hanna-Barbera’s Magilla Gorilla) and the AITF episode was the first of his 118 times playing Archie’s pal, Barney Hefner.


In the iconic All in the Family episode “Sammy’s Visit”, famed actor/singer Sammy Davis Jr. leaves his briefcase in Archie Bunker’s cab and comes to the Bunker house to retrieve it. In the follow-up episode “The Return of Sammy” on ARCHIE BUNKER'S PLACE, Davis accepts Archie's invitation to visit the bar after Archie sees him on a local talk show. On the original episode, Davis shocked Archie by planting a kiss on his cheek. In the follow-up, Archie surprises Davis. 


All in the Family stars Caroll O’Connor, Jean Stapleton, Rob Reiner, Sally Struthers, Mike Evans, and Isabel Sanford (before the creation of The Jeffersons). Archie Bunker’s Place stars Carroll O’Connor, Martin Balsam, Danielle Brisebois, Allan Melvin, Anne Meara, Jason Wingreen (the original voice of Star Wars' Boba Fett), Abraham Alvarez, Bill Quinn, and Dean Scofeld. 


The scripts covers have been reproduced in color and sheets of acetate are included to keep them looking pristine (to be honest, the copies looks better than the originals). The scripts' pages are printed on one side. Great care has been taken to make these pieces that a TV collector will be proud to own and display.
