...first hove into view on a Family episode last season. The entire Bunker family fell ill and Maude took over the household-especially Archie ("You can either get up off that couch and eat your breakfast or lie there and feed off your own fat...and if you choose the latter you can probably lie there for months"). The CBS brass was watching and, in Norman Lear's words, "saw a star." A second episode-in effect a pilot -was concocted, in which Archie and Edith visited Maude on the eve of her daughter's wedding...

...Show country (Johnny guffawed appreciatively at the movie's realism). The third son of Ted and Katie Bench (there is also a daughter Marilyn), Johnny prospered in the kind of aggressively athletic household that can send a young man to the big leagues or the psychiatrist's couch. His father, a onetime truckdriver and furniture salesman, had been a semipro catcher. It was his idea for Johnny to become a catcher; he reasoned that there was a dearth of good ones in the majors and that catching would be the quickest path to success. Ted even created...
