In this two-part drama, Archie gives in to fear because his business is failing. He takes a few illegal pills and then he takes some more...

The sight of Edith in tears is such a good anti-drug message that our hero goes to the hospital for help.

Part 2 is actually hilarious. When Archie finally makes up his mind to spend the rest of his life in bed, his loving family wants to be with him, so...

I found this episode with Archie battling these pills to be very touching and I can relate because I also had a problem with these type of pills. Mine were over the counter speeders loaded with Ephedrine, which made my heart race and truth be told, it's amazing I didn't kill myself on them. I was living at work 7 days a week, 12 to 16 hrs. (different hrs., mostly nights) so I was taking them to keep going and then having to take sleeping pills to go to sleep. All I was doing was taking pills and drinking Mt. Dew. With the support and tough love of my husband I was finally able to kick the pills. I remember that feeling when Archie finally had that breakdown.....that is a real feeling when you go through that. He played that moment so perfectly.
