After some searching I was able to find the Entertainment weekly "704 Hauser" review. It is not a very good review, but still interesting. Here it is. Credit goes to Entertainment Weekly.
In the Bunkers John Amos & family move into Archie’s old Place
Executive producer Norman Lear attempts to turn his “All in the Family” house inside out with “704 Hauser” (CBS, April 11, 8:30 - 9 p.m.). Staged on a rebuilt version of the living room at 704 Hauser street where white, working-class Archie Bunker used to spout fine reactionary nonsense, the series offers John Amos as Ernest Cumberbatch, an African-American working-class liberal. A veteran of the ‘60s civil rights movement, Ernest chews on an unlit cigar and chews out his son, a bright-eyed conservative whom his father named after Thurgood Marshall but who goes by the nickname Goodie ( T. E. Russell). Remember when Archie and Meathead bickered over politics? Here’s a typical “704 Hauser” exchange Goodie: “You’re a bigot!” Ernest: “A black man can’t be a bigot!” Goodie: “Tell that to a Korean Dad!” In other words, “704 Hauser” remembers to be provocative, but forgets to be smart or funny about it.
Goodie also has a white, Jewish girlfriend, Cherlyn (Maura Tierney), who likes to kiss him and then congratulate herself on their interracial romance. “Mmmmm, we are something’ else aren’t we?” she coos. Eeewww.
Amos is an old pro at this sort of broad comedy, but he’s been directed to telegraph his reactions in a dreadfully exaggerated way, and the writers haven’t got a fix on his character. One minute he’s speaking articulately about Malcolm X, but the next he’s making stupid ripostes to Cherlyn like, “Is that something’ they teach you in that temple wit’ the funny little beanies?” C-

Thanks Tara & Sallins! Nice to see/ read something from a long time ago Well, you can see that she's in top form and all points of perfection has made it her own, compared to what she puts down in Hauser, although that definitely is not bad!! And she is soo cute there (And her legsssss ) Oh btw Martine!!! That smiley!! I was LMAO ;D

I just found that same video yesterday, and I sent a message to the person who runs that youtube page asking where they got the videos and if they had more of that one. I haven't heard back yet, but if I do I'll let everyone know!

Looking at the EW page, there was another article about next season's new pilots and there was a mention of ER, who'd have known just six years later an actress they gave a bad review to would would join ER and get raves from EW. Also I turned the page and there was a profile on Denis Leary. Maura references all over that EW page.
Watching the clips from the 704 pilot, Maura had her comedic timing down. Excellent timing.

I heard back from the guy with the Van D yke show intro: Hi, don't have full episodes. For years I just rolled on and saved the opens (dont ask me why ).
BobSadness! Anyway it was nice of him to let us know. We'll just have to keep looking!

Thank you for trying for us, Nicole! They'll turn up somewhere one of these days. We never thought we'd see 704 Hauser and now we finally will, so we'll just keep our fingers crossed.

Did you order yours from the guy on iOffer? I don't know how quickly he ships, but I'm hoping to get it sometime this week. I paid via PayPal last week, but it took several days for me to get confirmation that my payment had been received.

Payed him on April 30th. and he confirmed to me that he shipped it on May 1th. I'm expecting it any day now ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I thought I found them yesterday, but unfortunately it appeared to be the older 'The Dick Van d**e Show' from 1966 and not 'The Van d**e Show' from 1988

Well, I think it´s from the opening credits of "The Van D yke Show"/1988- I even saw Maura there - and they wrote her name correclty.
