The characters are wearing old more fashionable and formal clothing, the man wearing a suit or (for his job) a bus driver's uniform, or the woman in a dress to keep the idea of a dominant man. the man is saying his "catch phrase" which loosely translates to a form of domestic abuse within the family, but that's how the times were. Ralph, the husband seems angry, but is always aggravated with his wife.

The father Allen moving in with his brother after a divorce, its very common in this generation. The uncle, Charlie, adds an unexpected factor to the show, he has many odd and profane moments throughout the series but in this clip shows the dialect between all three. Charlie and Allen fight as Jake, the son, trying to drive but remains defiant. This type of life-style is very relatable for children of divorce.

This clip shows a family of the 70's on thanksgiving, one of the most family tied holidays there is. I think this is a prime example of how family used to be in the 70's, though many of the actions and dialect may be stereotyped but the message is sincere. My Father told me stories of how his childhood was growing up in the 70's and when i think of the time period and the wardrobe, furniture, and so on, i think about this show. Red, the father bosses his son Eric around, as the mother Kitty sticks up for him.
