It’s close enough to count, I think. The series went seamlessly from one into the other and Jean Stapleton made a few appearances in _Bunker_ for continuity.

Disagree, as it was a different show, but obviously YMMV. Horseshoes and hand grenades.

I don’t think Jean Stapleton made an appearance, as Edith was dead in the season opener of the last season the show was officially called “All in the Family.”

However, I would agree it went pretty seamlessly from one to another; I’d be willing to call it a title change. The show wasn’t rebooted, or anything, and it wasn’t really a successor series, like _AfterMASH_.
