9. The sing-along theme song was plan B
The opening theme song “Those Were the Days” where Archie and Edith sing at the piano (or caterwaul off key in some places) is one of the most memorable parts of the show. The original plan, however, was just to have an orchestra play the tune. Due to budgetary constraints, they decided to have the two actors sing the song, and it was a big hit with the audience. Each season they would sing it anew, so there are several different renditions of this song.
