All in the family- Rabinowitx, Rabinowitz, and Rabinowitz

[briang5]

A friend and I were talking in work the other day about All in the Family and Rabinowitz, Rabinowitz and Rabinowitz. (I am Jewish so this isnt meant to be offensive).

We recalled the eposode where Archie gets into an accident and "hurts" his back and tries to sue, but there is a "car full of nuns" that reveal him to be lying about what happened.

We both vividly recall the line "Rabinowitz, Rabinowitz, and Rabinowitz, three savage Jews ......", but when we watched the whole car accident eposode on youtube, the line "3 savage jews was not present". We even had to look at several positngs of the eposode to make sure there werent any deleted scenes, and still no famous quote.

I googled "three savage jews" and found plenty of references to it that indicate it is from all in the family, but none indicated the eposode it was from.

Does anybody know the specific eposode that the quote comes from ?

I've been a big AITF fan for years. If I recall the line properly, it was:

".....that's them, the three wise men..."

It was episode 3 of season 1........http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_All_in_the_Family_episodes

You're probably mixing that line up (as johnspalm says it was "the 3 wise men") with a line Archie had in another episode, referring to his lawyer(s) as "seven savage Jews that won't leave a scrap on your bones."

I googled this for a good while the other day and could never nail it down. There are T-Shirts for sale with "seven savage Jews..." on them, but I couldn't attribute that to a specific episode.

And that's what I think the OP is looking for (now), is the episode with the "seven savage Jews..." in it.

The biggest clue, or most interesting thing I found while googling, was that apparently AITF was live back then, and it was an Archie adlib, right at the end of the show... and it rocked the house. The house being the producers/production staff.

Can you imagine airing Archie live today? ;)
