704 Hauser was a short-lived CBS television series in 1994. It was a spin-off of All in the Family (the last of many) and was built around the concept of an African-American family, the Cumberbatches, moving into the former Queens home of Archie Bunker years after Bunker had sold the house. John Amos, a veteran of the earlier All in the Family spin-off Good Times, starred as Ernie Cumberbatch, a character very similar to that of Archie Bunker, while Lynnie Godfrey played his wife, Rose. The racial tension in the series is provided by Ernie's son, who falls in love with a white, Jewish girl. A teenaged, and troubled, Joey Stivic (Archie's grandson) makes a disturbing cameo in the first episode.

The show did not do well, arguably in part because fans could not see anyone but Archie living in that house.
