"Sammy's Visit", first broadcast in February 1972, is a particularly notable episode, whose famous episode-ending scene produced the longest sustained audience laughter in the history of the show. Guest star [[Sammy Davis Jr.]] plays himself. Archie is moonlighting as a cab driver and Davis visits the Bunker home to retrieve a briefcase he left in Archie's cab earlier that day. After hearing Archie's bigoted remarks, Davis asks for a photograph with him. At the moment the picture is taken, Davis suddenly kisses a stunned Archie on the cheek. The ensuing laughter went on for so long that it had to be severely edited for network broadcast, as Carroll O'Connor still had one line ("Well, what the hell—he said it was in his contract!") to deliver after the kiss. (The line is usually cut in syndication.)<ref>{{cite web |title=Classic TV Sales – All in the Family |url=http://www.atarifun.com/ClassicTVSales/All_in_the_Family.html |publisher=Atari Fun |access-date=September 19, 2012 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120616001118/http://www.atarifun.com/ClassicTVSales/All_in_the_Family.html |archive-date=June 16, 2012 }}</ref>

===Syndication===
During the show's sixth season, starting on December 1, 1975, CBS began airing reruns on weekdays at 3{{nbsp}}p.m. (EST), replacing long-running soap opera ''[[The Edge of Night]]'', which moved to ABC. The show would later move to 3:30{{nbsp}}p.m. and in September 1978, 10{{nbsp}}a.m. This lasted until September 1979, when [[Viacom (2005–present)|Viacom]] distributed the reruns to the off-network market where many stations picked up the show. In 1991, [[Columbia Pictures Television]] began syndicating the show, and Columbia's successor companies have continued to do so.

Since the late 1980s, ''All in the Family'' has been rerun on various cable and satellite networks including [[TBS (American TV channel)|TBS]] (although it held the rights locally in Atlanta, as well), [[TV Land]], [[Nick at Nite]], and [[Sundance TV]]. From January 3, 2011, to December 31, 2017, the show aired on [[Antenna TV]]. As of January 1, 2018, the show began to air on [[GetTV]]. Since February 5, 2023, [[MeTV]] aired episodes of the show on Sunday nights at 8:00&nbsp;p.m. ET/7:00&nbsp;p.m. CT. All episodes have been airing nightly on the [[Catchy Comedy]] (formerly Decades) digital retro TV network.

The cast forfeited their residual rights for a cash payout early in the production run.<ref>{{cite magazine| url=http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/06/01/jean-stapleton-dies-at-90/| title='All in the Family' star Jean Stapleton dead at 90| last=Rice| first=Lynette| magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]| date=June 1, 2013| access-date=June 2, 2013| archive-date=June 2, 2013| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130602084924/http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/06/01/jean-stapleton-dies-at-90/| url-status=live}}</ref>
