My favorite scene was the improvised scene when Archie goes off on Meathead for putting on a sock and a shoe, and a sock and a shoe.

Can you blame him, what kind of meathead does that.

I remember watching when Meathead brought home horsemeat for Edith to cook. He tried to convince everyone that it was healthier than beef or something like that.

Archie came barreling through the door from work, taking off his coat and hat and while hanging them up, called out “Edith, I am so hungry I could eat a horse!”

They couldn’t even continue for a few minutes because the audience was screaming with laughter!

Carol O’Connor’s acting in that scene was brilliant.

I saw that episode. I always wondered if the draft dodger was played by a young Harold Ramis. He bore a resemblance.

In Lear’s case, and Leftists like him, I believe God is trying to give them ample time to repent of their hate and sins. I hope for his sake that he finally did that and accepted the Lord’s kindness and mercy.

Or when the two black robbers were in the house and Meathead tried to explain in liberal gobbledygook how Archie “was”

Oh look, they say in unison A LIBBER ALLLLLLLLLL

there are so many...
Gloria buys a wig, and Mike REALLY likes it...
Edith answers an ad in a SWINGERS magazine....seems the first 5 seasons, the show was outstanding. Then, for some reason they got new writers...and it just got stupid. Archies character suddenly became whiney, kinda sniveling...wasn’t the same...

The Christmas 1976 episode is not very easy to watch nowadays.

I was a very young Child at the time, but it was noticeable to even me. TV "comedy" got very preachy leftist. MASH and Happy Days went down the toilet at the same time.

What then replaced it was low brow "tits and ass" - shows like Three's Company, the Love Boat, etc....

Its why I hated Jimmy Carter, even as an 8 year old - he represented the decline of interesting and non-political TV.

Holy Smokes, 101. Seems to be a lot of old Jewish gentlemen, kissinger was 100.... There must be something to that whole “don’t eat pork” thing...

Have you considered that they may have died of a broken heart (or a guilty conscience for the ways they promosted wrongthink) after the October 7 massacre and its toxic aftermath?

Many of the Borscht Belt comedians lived into their 90s.
