Lionel Steps Out: All in the Family (TV Episode)

Plot

It is no surprise that Archie is livid over the fact that his lily-white niece Linda (Diane Hull) has gone out dancing with Lionel Jefferson. What is surprising is that Archie's opinions are in alignment with those of Lionel's uncle Henry, who is likewise dead set against "mixed dating." Michael Ross and Bernie West wrote the script from a story by Ross, West, and Terry Ryan. "Lionel Steps Out" originally aired on October 14, 1972. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
