Glad that Edith depressing ep and Gloria eps are being skipped
OH Nuts! 04-05-2020, 09:22 AM I went on to the Antenna website to see which eps really catch my fancy and will watch those. It will be nice to see this again—haven’t watched the show in years but remember it fondly.
My heart though is in ODAAT. My friends are there and it’s a good escape from the Politics Board, which is really making me sick and beginning to affect my mental health.

I was glad to see No Gloria episodes
TVFactFan 04-05-2020, 12:29 PM Trying to figure out why Archie was on the side of the Loan Officer's death instead of the front lol
Why is Edith not seen in these first eps but appears later on?
OH Nuts! 04-05-2020, 12:33 PM I was glad to see No Gloria episodes
I didn’t dislike Gloria, but could live without her. I liked the other characters much more. Especially Veronica. I got to mean AnnMeara in person maybe 35 years ago. She was SUPER NICE and very attractive in person. The roles she plays make her up to look like a frump. In real life, SHE WAS NOT!
TV Guy 04-05-2020, 12:37 PM I like how they used the same loan officer from the episode where he bought the bar.
Jean Stapleton only agreed to appear in five episodes that season. These first episodes focused on establishing the bar as the new show’s primary setting, and Murray as Archie’s new partner. When Edith appeared, she played a major role in the episode, with the episode taking place mainly at the Bunker home. That would have conflicted with the purpose of the first few episodes.
They’re not showing any of the Edith episodes today.

She is also from the Jeffersons when george was looking for a new manager and didnt want her because she was a woman
TVFactFan 04-05-2020, 12:52 PM I was just offended by Archie assuming Murray was gay because he is not married and single lol
Would you by any chance be a ***??:lol:
So I guess someone can assume I am gay because I have no kids, not married and live alone :lol:

Looks like they wasnt but I wasnt completely sure

Her character walked in and demanded $400 a week to be a cook??:lol::lol:
TV Guy 04-05-2020, 02:43 PM I really didn’t like Veronica. She wasn’t particularly likable to me, and I thought Anne Meara overacted.
I can see why the producers felt so hamstrung by an alive, but off-camera Edith. Most of the episodes during the first season had to take place entirely at that dingy bar with the old men. I don’t know what they were thinking when they set up that show - why so many old men as regulars? Why not give Archie a younger partner who tries to modernize the bar? Maybe some younger waitstaff and a more interesting character as the cook?

I adore Ann Meara. She was great in King of Queens with her real life husband Jerry Stiller. In KOQ, she had a major crush on "Arthur" who couldn't stand her. She played a frumpy, low class trampy hag in that show. :lol:

I want to know how were they able to pay her 400 dollars a week and still be in business:lol:

So I guess someone can assume I am gay because I have no kids, not married and live alone :lol:That's really, really dumb! There are tons of unmarried, childless men who are heterosexual. Why should anyone have kids just because they can? And why should anyone get married just because they can? Stupid!
Wawwie 04-05-2020, 03:14 PM I want to know how were they able to pay her 400 dollars a week and still be in business:lol:
400 dollars a week back then was very good money

I guess during that time it was odd of for a man who was murray's age to be single and considered straight. How come he couldnt be looking? LOL
I thought u was only gay if you was single and LOOKING FOR A MAN:lol::lol:
TVFactFan 04-05-2020, 03:20 PM 400 dollars a week back then was very good money
I know that's what I mean. Was they getting that much business to pay her 400 and the nephew 125 a week? lol Also I notice I dont see the nephew inside the bar now
Bonniegirl 04-05-2020, 05:20 PM I watched the second ep they showed today where Archie and Murray meet ! I like Murray, he's a nice, cool, kind man! :)The bartender , Harry who was quitting said he made 200 a week plus tips, even that was good money back than ! Than Murray raised it to 300 if he would stay ! Harry was like, count me back in !! ;)
If I am home on Sundays, I like to watch "The Brady Brunch" and Gilligan's Island on METV, so after Gilligan today , I will switch over to Antenna for some Archie ! ;)
