An episode I had never seen before: Stretches funeral - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

gilligan fanatic · 06-23-2006, 04:42 PM

I saw this episode last night and I couldn't believe I had never seen it before. And I have one thing to say about it, what a good episode. I liked Stretch, I thought he was funny and even if he wasn't in an episode when Archie talked about what he did at work it was funny.

I was very surprised when Archie went to the Synagogue. I did not see that coming at all. I thought Archies speech was very nice and funny.

Here is a question I got, why did they kill him off? Was it just to have this episode or did James Cromwell want off or what? I would have liked him to stay on. And shouldn't someone else from the loading dock been at the funeral. Like Elmo or someone like that. Maybe even Irene could have come back for this.

I wonder why we don't remember seeing it. Another one I don't remember seeing but once was when Mike gets a vasectomy. That was on Tuesday I think

I know James Cromwell went to star on Hot L Baltimore, another Norman Lear show in January 1975. Maybe that's why he left.

I used to watch every week when I was a kid and I liked it but I don't remember much about it now. lol Charlotte Rae from the FOL also starred in it and I remember she was a hoot.

I just saw this episode myself for the first time. I think it was just a way to put Archie into a storyling that involved dealing with Jewish people. For some reason, I can't remember ever seeing Stretch in an episode.

I was reading that Gerald Ford guest stared on it. I would love to see that episode

It would be great if they released a bunch of Norman Lear short-lived comedies like Hot L Baltimore.
